At Prime Dumpster, we set roll-off containers from 10 to 40 yards on driveways, job sites and yards across Commerce City, Colorado. This is a city of two halves for our purposes: the older grid south of 72nd Avenue where bungalow remodels and garage teardowns are the staple, and the newer ground out past Reunion and Buffalo Run where residential construction and commercial build-out keep containers moving.
Commerce City does not regulate who may collect, which makes the conversation here short and practical. What it does regulate is how long you may leave debris on a property and how a container has to be screened. Below are our price ranges, those two rules, the street-placement route, what Colorado keeps out of a landfill, and how fast we reach the 80022 ZIP code.

Four factors set the number on a Commerce City quote.
Weight is the biggest. Front Range hail seasons produce a lot of asphalt shingle work, and shingles are among the heaviest things you can load. Concrete, flagstone and the sandy clay soil here behave the same way, so a small container of any of them fills its allowance early.
Size is the lever you control. A step up in size costs less than an overage charge plus a return trip, and on a hail-damage reroof it almost always pays.
Then there is screening. Because Commerce City requires a commercial container to be screened, placement sometimes takes a little planning, and a shorter container in the right spot can beat a longer one in the wrong one.
Finally, the schedule. We price per project, so three days and a standard week usually come out the same.

Begin with volume, then test the choice against weight. Our range runs 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the heavy-material size. It holds roughly three pickup loads and it is the right choice for concrete, flagstone, brick or soil, where the scale limit arrives long before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage or shed clearing, or a single-slope shingle tear-off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common Commerce City pick. It absorbs a full house cleanout or a remodel spanning several rooms, and on most newer lots it still fits the drive.
The 30-Yard Dumpster serves additions, gut renovations and new residential construction, where framing scrap and packaging build up fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and it belongs on commercial demolition and warehouse clearouts along the Highway 2 and Quebec corridors.
Talk the job through with your account manager and they will size it with you.
A container on private property, your own driveway or a fenced construction pad, needs no approval from Commerce City. There is no collector license to hold and no franchise to clear, because the Revised Municipal Code has no solid waste chapter at all. The business licenses chapter does not touch refuse collection, and the city's only operative trash rules sit in its nuisances chapter, where they fall on the property rather than on a hauler.
Those rules matter, so here they are. The owner or occupant of any property in the city has to provide for the removal of all trash, garbage or waste from the property at regular intervals, as often as necessary to prevent a public health nuisance, and in no event may the interval between collections exceed thirty days. That is a hard outside limit, and it is the reason a long renovation needs a plan rather than a pile.
The second rule is about screening, and it names this kind of container. Trash containers and dumpsters in commercial districts have to be screened by a dumpster enclosure or as stipulated on a site plan. In residential districts, containers must sit behind a privacy fence, in a garage or another fully enclosed building, or be fully screened from public view by landscaping or an enclosure, except where they are placed to facilitate collection. Residential containers go to the curb on the morning of or the evening before collection and come back within twenty-four hours. Raise your placement with your account manager so the container lands somewhere that works.
For the street there is a clear route. The city's right-of-way chapter exists to require permits of private users of the public rights-of-way, and inside the permittee's duties it states that trash dumpsters and storage or construction trailers may not be placed in the street without the specific approval of the director. So a street placement is possible but it is a decision, not a counter transaction. A traffic control plan goes in with the application where traffic will be obstructed, and no permit is issued until the city approves that plan. The same chapter requires a safe, unobstructed walkway around the work area and puts the duty to clean tracked mud off the roadway on the permittee. No fee figure is published on a city page we can read today, so ask when you apply.
Most renovation and cleanout debris is welcome. Colorado's own restrictions are the first limit, and there is a detail in them worth knowing.
The state health department's list of materials prohibited from landfill disposal is headed as a residential list. That heading matters if you are a contractor, because the duties on a commercial or construction generator are not identical to the household ones, and your account manager will tell you which set applies to your load. In practice the materials on it are the ones no container should carry anyway: liquid waste, used oil, batteries, electronics, tires, paint and solvents, and anything hazardous.
Beyond the state list, keep out fuel, propane cylinders, pressurized tanks, asbestos and medical waste. Appliances holding refrigerant need to be handled separately. If a load will include a lot of clean concrete or soil, say so, because a single-material load is usually easier and cheaper to place than a mixed one.
When you are not sure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in the container.
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.
A Commerce City load goes to a permitted Front Range disposal or processing site selected for the material it holds. Your account manager names the site, confirms it accepts your material and gives you the charge before the container is delivered.
Colorado is one state where we cannot publish a facility list, and the reason is worth stating plainly. The state health department's solid waste facility pages render as navigation only, and both its facility list and its list of landfills open to the public are interactive dashboards on a separate state server that returns nothing readable to a request. So no site is named here and none appears as a listed facility, even though the loads themselves go to permitted ground every day.
What this changes for you is small but real: the destination is confirmed on the quote rather than assumed from the page. It also makes the separation question worth asking. Clean concrete, clean soil and scrap metal each have more outlets in the metro area than mixed demolition debris, so on a larger job two containers can land cheaper than one.
Most Commerce City orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. The weeks after a serious hailstorm are the exception across the whole north metro, when roofing demand spikes.
Five things that keep it moving:
Winter is the other factor. A container that fills with snow between work sessions gains weight that counts, so keep it covered when the crew is off site.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster works right across the north and central Denver metro, from Brighton and Thornton on Commerce City's own edges through Northglenn and Westminster, down into Denver and east into Aurora. Each jurisdiction writes its own placement rules, so your account manager checks the address first.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will pick a size with you, work out a placement that meets the screening rule and give you a price with the disposal charge already in it.
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.
A container here runs $399 to $499 at the 10-yard size and up to $699 to $899 at 40 yards on a five-day rental. Debris weight and the receiving site's charge for your material set the rest. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates when the quote is issued.
Renting wins on anything beyond a trailer load. Self-hauling across the north metro means fuel, a minimum charge at each gate and a large slice of your day per trip. A container sits where you are working and takes debris as it comes, for one delivery and one pickup.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves plenty of space for a mattress, a few chairs and some boxed clutter. Upholstered furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so volume limits you before weight does.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, used oil, paint, solvents, fuel, propane, asbestos, batteries, tires and electronics. Colorado's prohibited-disposal list is written for residential waste, so a contractor should check which duties apply. Tell your account manager about refrigerant appliances when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, $399 to $499, and for concrete, flagstone or soil it is also the right size. For light mixed debris one 20-yard container usually costs less in total than two small ones, and it saves a delivery.
Three days normally costs the same as the standard five-day rental, because we price the project and not the calendar. The material and its weight matter far more than the number of days. Ask your account manager about the extension rate if the work may run on.
Framing lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, siding, cabinets, doors, windows, fixtures, furniture and general clutter are all fine. Concrete and soil are acceptable within the weight allowance and are often better in their own container. Run unusual items past your account manager first.
