At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Alma, Colorado, and the upper South Platte valley in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Alma sits above 10,500 feet, so the work here runs to cabin repairs, roof and deck replacement, mine-era outbuilding teardowns and short construction seasons that have to finish before the snow returns.
Your price here turns on four things: the size you pick, how heavy the debris is, how long you keep the container, and the gate charge at the facility that takes the load. Alma is a very small town with very little published paperwork, so what follows is what the Town's own code does say and where the real costs sit.

| Size | Average Price Range | Approximate Dimensions | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | $399–$499 | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | Concrete, brick, and heavy debris; small cleanouts; single-room remodels |
| 15-Yard Dumpster | $449–$569 | 16' L × 7.5' W × 4–5' H | Garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, small roof tear-offs |
| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
Size sets the base figure. The right pick is the smallest container that finishes your Alma project in one haul, because a second trip over the pass costs more than the extra yardage would have.
Sorting is the biggest lever anybody has here, and the numbers are public. Summit County charges $85 per ton for a sorted construction and demolition load and $150 per ton for an unsorted one, with a $35.00 minimum either way. Keeping clean wood, metal, cardboard and clean concrete out of the mixed pile can cut the disposal side of your bill close to half.
Weight matters as much as volume. Old plaster, river rock, brick and mine tailings are dense, and a small container packed with them reaches its weight allowance while the walls still look half empty. Heavy material belongs in its own load.
Distance is the quiet cost in Park County. Alma has no landfill of its own and the county operates none, so loads travel north over Hoosier Pass into Summit County. That haul is built into your quote, and your account manager will say plainly how it affects the number before you book.

Pick by volume first, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, and the differences matter more on a mountain lot where the drop spot is often tight.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest container we rent. It suits a bathroom remodel, a single deck tear-off or a load of dense material like concrete, stone or old chimney brick, where weight runs out long before space does.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage cleanout, a cabin kitchen, a small roof or a shed removal. It gives you room to work without taking up a whole driveway.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a full cabin cleanout or a remodel covering several rooms. It handles mixed debris well and still fits on most Alma lots.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes a large renovation, a new build or a serious teardown. It is the size to ask about when a short mountain building season means everything has to go at once.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It is built for commercial work, big demolition jobs and high-volume cleanouts where a smaller container would need swapping twice.
Describe the job to your account manager, including the drop spot and the access road, and they will match the size to it.
On private property, including your own driveway or a fenced job site, Alma asks for nothing extra for the container itself. That is where almost every rental here sits.
The street is a different matter, and the Town has written the answer narrowly. Alma's encroachment provisions grant a license only for fences, driveways, steps, buildings and retaining walls that already existed when the rules were adopted, so a temporary container is not something the Town has created a route for. The same rules bar any encroachment from the traveled part of a street, from any street with a dedicated right of way under 40 feet wide, and from any state highway right of way, which covers Colorado 9 through the middle of town.
In practice that means you should plan on private ground. If your only option is the road edge, call the Town of Alma at 719-836-2712 and speak to Public Works before you book. The Town publishes no fee, no application form and no review time for this, so a conversation is the only reliable way to get an answer.
One local rule does reach construction sites directly. Alma protects wildlife by requiring every construction site to have a designated container for refuse that animals can eat, or to clear that refuse off the site at the end of each day, and the designated container has to be a wildlife-proof type certified by the state or federal agencies named in the code. A container holding only building debris is not what the rule is aimed at, but food waste on site is. Your account manager can confirm the right contact at Town Hall and help you plan the site so this is not a surprise at inspection.
Colorado's own prohibited list is short and specific. The state's health and environment department names five categories kept out of any solid waste site or facility: lead-acid batteries, liquid wastes or wastes holding free liquids unless the facility is approved for them, used oil, waste tires, and waste electronic devices and computers.
Beyond that state list, keep out hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, antifreeze, pesticides and asbestos. Alma's own code defines hazardous materials at length and bars all of it from Town containers, and the same logic applies to a rented roll-off.
Televisions, monitors and computers have to come out before loading. The receiving facility in Summit County takes them at no charge, which is a better outcome than having a whole load turned back at the scale.
Tires, appliances with refrigerant and anything with free liquid in it are each handled separately and priced separately. Mention them when you book so your account manager can arrange them properly rather than leaving them to the gate.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Alma has no landfill, no transfer station and no public drop-off for construction material. The Town's own containers are for residents and residential property owners only, with vehicle identification stickers, and the Town's definition of household garbage specifically leaves out construction materials such as steel, concrete, asphalt, rock, sand, gravel, dry wall, carpet and brick. Park County operates no landfill either.
Most roll-off loads from Alma therefore travel north over Hoosier Pass to the Summit County Resource Allocation Park at 639 Landfill Road, Dillon, CO 80435, which the county describes as publicly owned and operated and as the only landfill in Summit County. It is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon, closed Sunday, and the gatehouse number is 970-668-4290.
Two of that facility's rules shape how the load is packed. Every customer must stop at the scale, and every load must be tarped or held down by its own weight, with a double charge applied to an uncovered load. We cover loads as a matter of course, and your account manager will confirm the destination and the current rate before your container is delivered.
A handful of small private transfer stations sit closer, along US 285 and Colorado 9 in Park County, but they are company-run drop sites rather than public facilities and they are not set up for project-sized loads.
639 Landfill Road, Dillon, CO 80435
Open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to noon, closed Sunday.
Most Alma rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days out is worth doing here, because the haul is long and winter weather on the pass can move a delivery slot.
Use these tips to keep your delivery clean:
Keep the facility calendar in mind too. The Summit County site is closed on Sundays and on the main holidays, so a container filled late on a Saturday may not be emptied until the following week.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves the Town of Alma and the surrounding Park County communities, from Buckskin Gulch and the Kite Lake road down Colorado 9 to Fairplay and across South Park. Alma is the highest incorporated town in the country, and we plan every delivery around the grade, the access road and the season rather than treating it like a front-range drop.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the job, confirm where the load is going, and give you a clear number on the call.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
Rentals in Alma run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day period. The haul over Hoosier Pass and the sorted or unsorted rate at the receiving facility both affect your final number. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage before delivery.
In Alma, renting almost always wins. The nearest public facility is in another county over a mountain pass, so every self-haul trip is most of a morning plus fuel plus a gate charge. One container collects the whole job and travels once.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a bed frame, a dresser and several boxes. With furniture you will run out of space well before you reach the weight limit.
Keep out lead-acid batteries, liquids and anything holding free liquid, used oil, tires, and electronic devices including televisions and monitors, all of which Colorado bars from disposal. Paint, solvents, fuel, antifreeze, pesticides and asbestos are out as well. Ask your account manager about anything unusual.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Cheapest on paper is not always cheapest in total, though. Dense material like stone, concrete or old plaster can push a small container past its weight allowance, so keeping heavy debris in its own load often saves more.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as a five-day one, because the price is built around the job rather than the calendar. Weight moves your bill far more than days do. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Nearly all household and construction debris is fine: wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, siding, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout material. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are accepted too and cost less when kept in their own load. Check anything you are unsure about with your account manager first.
