At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Erie, Colorado, and the towns along the Boulder and Weld county line in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Erie has grown faster than almost anywhere on the northern Front Range, and that shows in the work: brick and sandstone cottages in Old Town being brought up to date, and twenty years of subdivisions off Erie Parkway and County Line Road now hitting their first round of roof, fence and basement finishing. New construction continues on the open ground between the two, so builders and homeowners are competing for the same containers.
Four things drive what you pay: the size you take, how heavy the debris turns out, how long the container stays, and what the receiving site charges by the ton. The sections below set out our ranges, the Town's own container permit, what has to stay out of the load, and where the debris goes.

| 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 |
Container size sets the floor. Two emptyings always cost more than one larger container would have, so be generous with the description when you call.
Weight then does the rest. Erie roofs come off heavy, especially the older composite and tile work, and Old Town properties add sandstone walls, flagstone paths and porch concrete. All of that reaches an included tonnage early. Framing, drywall and fencing from a newer subdivision behave very differently and fill the walls first.
Where the load goes is the third factor. A permitted landfill operates inside the Erie town limits off Weld County Road 5, so the haul from most addresses here is short by Front Range standards, which keeps the transport share of a quote down.
Local rules are the fourth, and Erie has more of them than most towns nearby. The Town issues a permit specifically for containers in the street, and many Erie subdivisions sit under a homeowners association with its own timetable on top. Both are covered below.

Start with the heaviest material in the job and work outward from there. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes along the county line.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is for sandstone, flagstone, porch concrete and brick. Dense Front Range material hits the weight ceiling while the container still looks half empty.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a bathroom stripped to studs, a garage cleared in a weekend, or one slope of roofing.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual choice for a basement finish, a kitchen with flooring, or a full household cleanout.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits an addition, a complete re-roof, or a new build generating a lot of mixed framing and drywall.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container and is intended for commercial projects and demolition where bulk rather than weight runs out first.
Mention the build date of the property as well as the room list. In Erie the difference between an Old Town cottage and a 2008 subdivision home is almost entirely a weight question.
Start with the good news for anyone working on private property. The Town states plainly that permits are not required for dumpsters placed on private property such as a driveway.
A container on a street, alley or other public right-of-way is a different matter, and Erie is unusual in publishing a permit written for exactly this. The Town's own Dumpster, Storage, Roll-Off Permit page says a permit is required to allow the temporary placement of a dumpster, storage or landscape material on a street, alley or other public right-of-way as designated in the permit. It is issued by the Town Clerk's Office at 645 Holbrook Street, and you can reach that office on 303-926-2710.
Three details on that page matter to your schedule. The application has to reach the Town Clerk at least five days before the activity starts, and each one is judged case by case. A permit can be requested for up to 60 days and extended by another 60 days if you apply before the first one runs out. And no container may sit on a sidewalk, block traffic or pedestrians, or create a safety hazard.
There is one more layer the Town flags itself, and it catches people out. A homeowners association may impose stricter rules and shorter removal deadlines than the Town permit allows, and you have to meet the association's timetable even where it is tighter. If your address is inside an association, check its rules before you pick a delivery date.
Erie also licenses the companies that haul waste in the town, and Boulder County licenses every hauler working anywhere in the county, construction and demolition material included. Erie straddles the Boulder and Weld county line, so which of those applies can depend on which side of the line your address falls. Your Prime Dumpster account manager sorts that out and finds the right contact for your job before anything is scheduled.
Regular building and household debris is welcome: framing, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, doors, fencing, carpet, furniture and general junk.
Colorado's statewide list of banned material is short, and it is worth knowing exactly how it is framed. The state publishes it as residential materials prohibited from disposal at a solid waste site or facility, and it names lead-acid batteries, liquid wastes or wastes containing free liquids unless the facility is specifically approved for them, used oil, waste tires, and waste electronic devices and computers.
Because that list is written for households, a contractor load is governed by the receiving facility's own acceptance rules on top of it. In practice the same items stay out, and so do paint, solvents, thinners, fuels, pesticides, pool chemicals, asbestos and pressurized cylinders. Appliances holding refrigerant need that removed by a certified program first.
Erie's own household recycling drop-off is residents-only and takes no construction material at all, which is covered in the next section. If an item is borderline, 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.
Erie is one of very few Front Range towns with a permitted municipal solid waste landfill inside its own limits. The Town's landfills page records it at 1830 Weld County Road 5, with the entrance southeast of Weld County Roads 5 and 6, and notes that two older landfills on the same section, Denver Regional South and Denver Regional North, are both closed. That site is run by a private company, so your account manager confirms the destination for your load rather than us naming one here.
For the household side of a cleanout there is a genuine public option in town. The Erie Recycling Center at 1000 Briggs Street, Erie, CO 80516 is run by the Town's own Sustainability Division. It takes single-stream recycling, corrugated cardboard, yard waste and food scraps, and the Town's recycling center page gives posted hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., seven days a week, weather and holidays permitting, with a Waste Diversion Technician on site on 303-926-2734. Two limits are firm: it is free to Erie residents only, proof of residency is required, and the Town does not accept material from outside Erie. It cannot take a contractor container load.
Household hazardous material has its own public home for the Weld County side of town. Weld County runs the South Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 5500 Highway 52, Dacono, CO 80514, open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for county residents, with business waste accepted by appointment only on 970-400-2217. The county's own page sets a 200-pound limit per drop-off per day and refuses containers larger than five gallons.
1000 Briggs Street, Erie, CO 80516
Run by the Town of Erie Sustainability Division, open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. seven days a week. Free to Erie residents with proof of residency, and it cannot take a contractor container load.
5500 Highway 52, Dacono, CO 80514
Operated by Weld County for county residents, open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Business waste by appointment only, and not a tipping floor for a container load.
Most Erie rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Because the Town wants the street application five days ahead, give yourself a week of notice if the container cannot stand on your own property.
A short checklist keeps delivery day simple:
Keep the Town recycling drop-off's hours in mind too. It opens 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, so the household part of a cleanout is easy to fit around a weekend of work on the container.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Erie, from the brick and sandstone blocks of Old Town to the newer neighborhoods off Erie Parkway and the Boulder and Weld county line, plus the towns on either side of it. Wherever your project sits, we arrange the drop, the collection and the disposal around your week.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the debris, work out whether the street permit applies, and give you a clear 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.
Erie rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. Roofing and stone weight move the number more than anything else, and the in-town landfill keeps the haul short. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates at booking.
For anything past a couple of pickup loads, yes. Self-hauling means a charge at each weigh-in, fuel, and your own time, and the Town recycling drop-off takes no construction material. A single container covers the project in one haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a bed frame, a dresser and boxes. Soft furnishings run out of room well before they run out of weight allowance.
Lead-acid batteries, free liquids, used oil, tires and electronics are barred from Colorado disposal sites. Paint, solvents, fuels, pesticides, pool chemicals, asbestos and pressurized cylinders stay out as well. Appliances with refrigerant need it removed by a certified program first.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. For sandstone, flagstone and porch concrete it also tends to be the cheapest finish, because dense material reaches the weight limit in any size and a small container keeps the overage small.
Three days normally costs the same as five. The price follows the delivery, the haul and the disposal rather than the number of days. Weight is what really moves it, so ask your account manager about the included tonnage and the per-ton rate.
Framing, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, doors, fencing, carpet, furniture and household junk are all accepted. Clean concrete, brick and sandstone are fine too and cost less kept in their own load. For anything else, check with your account manager.
