At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the rest of El Paso County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Hail seasons that take out whole streets of roofs, kitchen and basement remodels in Rockrimmon and Austin Bluffs, and steady construction out along Powers and north toward Briargate keep roll-off containers busy for homeowners and contractors alike.
Your price follows the container size, the weight and type of debris, the length of the rental, and what the receiving landfill charges to bury the load. Below are our price ranges, the permit the city asks for when a container sits in a street, and the short list of materials Colorado keeps out of its landfills.

Four things decide what a Colorado Springs rental costs, and they are easy to work through on one call.
Size comes first. The next size up always costs less than a second haul, and far less than an overage charge on a container stuffed past its weight allowance.
Debris weight comes second, and in this town that usually means shingles. A full tear-off on a two-story house can outweigh an entire kitchen remodel, which is why roofing jobs often take a 10 or a 15 rather than a 20.
Disposal comes third. The landfills that serve the city sit east and south of it, well outside the neighborhoods, so both the haul distance and the gate charge land in your quote. Those fees are set by the receiving site, not by us.
Where the container sits is the last piece. A driveway costs you nothing extra. A spot in the street or along the curb means a city permit, and that is worth sorting out before you pick a delivery date.

Size by volume, then sanity check the weight. We carry five, and most Colorado Springs projects land in the middle three.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right call for dense material: broken concrete, flagstone, brick, dirt, or a small bathroom gut. Heavy debris reaches its weight limit with the container half empty.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the roofer's size here. One slope, a garage cleanout, or a flooring tear-out fits without paying for space you will not use.
The 20-Yard Dumpster covers a whole-house cleanout or a multi-room remodel. It is the most common pick for residential work in the city, and it sits on a normal driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits an addition, a new build, or a basement finish that produces a steady stream of mixed debris. Builders working the newer subdivisions usually start here.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Commercial construction, interior strip-outs, and large demolition all move faster with the volume it holds.
Still deciding? Describe the job to your account manager and they will match the size to it.
On private property, including your own driveway or a fenced job site, Colorado Springs does not require a permit for a container. The rule changes as soon as any part of the container sits in the public right-of-way.
For that, the city issues a revocable permit, and it names dumpsters directly. Temporary surface uses of the right-of-way, including trash and construction dumpsters and storage pods, fall under this permit. The name is literal: the city can pull the permit at any time, for any reason.
The conditions are published and practical. Your container cannot interrupt vehicle or pedestrian traffic, cannot get in the way of how the public normally uses that space, cannot block a lawfully existing structure, and cannot take up more than one fifth of the width of a paved sidewalk. On a narrow residential street, that last rule is often what decides where the container goes.
Applications and questions go to the Land Use Review division in Planning and Development, which answers at 719-385-5905. If you are not certain where your property line stops and the right-of-way starts, your account manager can help you work it out and get the permit moving before delivery day.
Ordinary construction and household debris is welcome. The limits come from a short state list and from what the receiving site will accept.
Colorado's own rules are brief. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment bars five things from any solid waste site in the state: lead-acid batteries, used oil, waste tires, waste electronic devices and computers, and liquid waste or anything holding free liquids unless that particular facility is approved to take it.
That electronics rule catches a lot of cleanouts. Monitors, laptops, printers, and televisions all have to come out of the load before the container ships.
On top of the state list, hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos never belong in a standard container. Appliances holding refrigerant need a technician to recover it first.
If a cleanout turns up paint cans, chemicals, or old electronics, your account manager can point you to the county facility that takes them so one banned item does not hold up the whole load.
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.
Container loads from Colorado Springs are weighed in at one of the three permitted landfills in El Paso County. The closest to the city is on Blaney Road east of town, off Highway 94, and the other two sit south near Fountain, one on Squirrel Creek Road and one on Rancho Colorado Boulevard near the Interstate 25 interchange. Each is privately operated and sets its own gate charges and material rules, which is why your quote reflects the site your debris is headed to.
The items the state keeps out of landfills go somewhere else entirely. El Paso County runs the El Paso County Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 3255 Akers Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80922. It is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to noon and again from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and the phone number is 719-520-7878. The facility serves El Paso and Teller County households, asks for proof of residency, and needs an appointment for large loads or business waste.
Worth knowing before you load: that facility takes paint, chemicals, automotive fluids, batteries, and smaller electronics, but it will not take appliances, asbestos, carpet, tires, or general trash. Your account manager will confirm which landfill is receiving your container and what the gate charges for your material before the truck rolls.
3255 Akers Dr., Colorado Springs, CO 80922
County-run drop-off open Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m.; El Paso and Teller County households only.
Most Colorado Springs orders go out within one to two business days, with the truck arriving inside a 24 to 48 hour window. Extra lead time helps you clear the spot, line up a permit, and often lock in a better rate.
Five habits that keep delivery day easy:
Build in the drive, too. The landfills sit a good way outside town, so a container that fills on a Saturday afternoon is often hauled on the next working day rather than the same evening.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, confirm which landfill takes your debris, and give you a firm price 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.
In Colorado Springs, a 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899 on a five-day rental. The material matters as well, since the landfill bills by weight and roofing loads are heavy. Your account manager will confirm the tonnage included and the overage rate when the order goes in.
For most jobs, renting wins. The landfills are a long drive from the city's neighborhoods, so self-hauling means repeat round trips, a charge at the gate each time, fuel, and your own weekend. One container handles the whole project for one price.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves plenty of room for a mattress, a desk, and boxes. Household furniture is bulky rather than dense, so with a load like that you run out of space long before you reach the weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Colorado also bars lead-acid batteries, used oil, waste tires, electronics and computers, and free liquids from its landfills. Appliances holding refrigerant need a technician first. The county hazardous waste facility takes most of those items instead.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. The load still decides your final bill, since concrete, flagstone, and dirt can pass a small container's weight allowance quickly. Keeping dense material in one container and light debris in another is often the cheaper way to split a job.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because the price is built around the job and the haul rather than the number of days. Weight is the real variable. Ask your account manager what tonnage your size includes and what an extra ton costs, and you will know the ceiling up front.
Nearly everything a remodel or a cleanout produces: lumber, drywall, shingles, siding, flooring, cabinets, doors, fencing, furniture, carpet, and general household junk. Clean concrete, brick, and dirt are accepted too, and they usually cost less in a container of their own. Ask your account manager about anything unusual.
