At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Greeley, Colorado, and the Weld County communities beside it in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Greeley has grown hard for two decades, so the work splits between remodels and reroofs in the older grid near downtown and construction out in the newer subdivisions west of 47th Avenue.
Four things move your cost: the size you choose, how heavy the debris is, how long you keep the container, and the per-ton charges at the landfill that receives the load. Below you will find the price ranges, the City's rules for containers and streets, what Colorado keeps out of a landfill, and how quickly delivery can be arranged.

A Greeley quote turns on a short list, and three items on it are local.
Size is the obvious one. Taking one step up beats paying an overage charge, and it beats booking a second haul on a roof job where the weather window is short.
Weight is the one that surprises people. Disposal is billed by the ton, and a single layer of asphalt shingles off an average Greeley roof is heavier than most of a 20-yard container of household material. Splitting dense debris out saves money reliably.
Travel is the first local factor. Greeley operates no landfill of its own, so loads go out of the city to the sites that serve Weld County, one east of the city and one south of it. That mileage is in the price, and so is the fuel it costs.
Placement is the second. Greeley is a city of wide lots and long driveways, which is good news, because the City is tight about containers at the curb. The code allows trash, garbage or refuse containers to be set out on a public right-of-way for only one 24-hour period in any seven days, which does not cover a multi-day rental. Private ground is the plan here.
Who may collect is the third. Greeley treats itself as the sole agency for collecting and disposing of refuse, working through its own crews, its contractors and operators it has approved, so a container delivery here is arranged inside a City system rather than outside it. Your account manager confirms how that applies to your address and your material before anything is booked.

Pick by volume, then check the material against the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes across Greeley.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right answer for heavy material. Concrete flatwork, a brick planter, tile, plaster or dirt from a crawlspace will hit the weight ceiling with the container visibly short of full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits the middle of the market: a garage emptied before a move, carpet and pad from two or three rooms, or one shingle layer from a smaller roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size Greeley households order most. It handles a whole-house cleanout, a kitchen and bath remodel done together, or a reroof on a typical single-family home.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for additions, new builds and interior demolition, where the debris is bulky rather than dense. Framing offcuts, siding, insulation and cabinetry fill volume fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, built for commercial fit-outs, industrial clearing and larger demolition work.
Describe the job and the material to your account manager and they will pick the size that keeps you inside the weight allowance.
A container on private property, on your own driveway or on a construction site, needs no City permit in Greeley. There is no dumpster permit in the City code at all, and there is no container size limit either, so your options are not restricted by the ordinance.
The street is where it tightens. The City's right-of-way permit is written for excavation and construction work in public ways, not for a container standing in one, and the only container rule in the code is that 24-hour limit on setting one out on a right-of-way. There is nothing published to apply for that would extend it. So a Greeley container goes on private ground unless the City agrees otherwise in advance.
Two related City rules are worth knowing on a jobsite. Debris left from building, repair or demolition work has to be removed once the work is substantially complete, and that is enforceable as a code infraction. And it is unlawful for refuse of any kind to be swept or thrown into a street, gutter, alley or vacant lot, which the City repeats on its own street services page and extends to leaves and tree limbs.
The office to call is Public Works and Transportation at 1300 A Street Bldg. H, Greeley, CO 80631, on 970-350-9881, open Monday to Friday 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Non-emergency requests also go through Greeley311 on 970-351-5311. If you are unsure where your property line ends, your account manager can help you work out a placement that avoids the question.
Colorado's state list is headed as a residential one, and it is worth reading that way rather than as a complete rulebook for a contractor. The state prohibits from disposal lead-acid batteries, liquid wastes or wastes containing free liquids unless the facility is specifically approved to accept them, used oil, waste tires, and waste electronic devices and computers. For a commercial load, the receiving landfill applies its own acceptance rules on top of that, which is why the destination gets confirmed before delivery rather than after.
Beyond the state list, hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos cannot go in a standard container anywhere.
Greeley adds one rule aimed squarely at businesses. Any accumulation of refuse that is highly explosive or flammable, and might endanger life or property, has to be removed to a place the City approves, and the business creating it carries that duty. Silt and similar deposits from wash racks have to go to the city or county disposal site rather than anywhere closer.
If something on your site does not clearly belong in a container, raise it with your account manager first.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Greeley runs no landfill of its own, and the code says what happens in that case: the nearest county-established, county-approved or county-operated site also counts as the city site.
In practice that means one of the two landfills Weld County itself names, the Front Range Landfill at 1830 Weld County Road 5 in Erie, or the North Weld Landfill at 40000 Weld County Road 25 in Ault. Both are run by private companies rather than by the county, so your load's destination depends on routing and on the material. Your account manager confirms which one is receiving your container and how the charge is worked out before the truck is dispatched.
For the materials a container cannot take, Weld County operates two facilities of its own. The North Household Hazardous Waste Facility is at 1311 North 17th Avenue, Greeley, CO 80634, open every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The county's household hazardous waste page carries one line that matters a great deal to a contractor: business waste is accepted by appointment only and will not be taken on the residential drop-off days, and the number to book is 970-400-2217. Paint, thinners, motor oil and similar material from a jobsite therefore needs an appointment, not a drive-up.
Clean wood and green waste have a separate route. The City lists its own organic waste center as a drop-off for grass, leaves, plants, limbs and clean unpainted or untreated lumber. The City does not publish a street address for it on the drop-off listing, so call Public Works on 970-350-9881 to confirm the current location and hours before hauling anything there yourself.
1311 North 17th Avenue, Greeley, CO 80634
Open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; business waste by appointment only.
Most Greeley rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking two or three days out gives you a better choice of arrival time and room to clear the drop spot.
Five habits that make a Greeley delivery go cleanly:
One last note on timing. The county hazardous waste facility opens only three days a week and closes on major holidays, including the Saturday either side, so a weekend finish needs the hazardous material dealt with earlier in the week.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves Greeley and the surrounding Weld County communities, from the older blocks around 8th Avenue and the university out to the newer neighborhoods west of 47th Avenue and the commercial work along US 34 and 10th Street. Residential or commercial, we arrange delivery, pickup and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, confirm which landfill is taking the load, and quote 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.
A 10-yard container in Greeley runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, on a five-day rental. Your place in that range depends on debris weight and the per-ton charge at the landfill receiving the load. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
Greeley has no landfill inside the city, so self-hauling means driving out to Erie or Ault, paying at the scale each time, and burning a day on the road. Once a job runs past two pickup loads, one container is almost always the cheaper and faster route.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a mattress, a dresser and a stack of boxes. Furniture fills floor area rather than weight, so volume is what you plan around.
Hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos stay out. Colorado also prohibits lead-acid batteries, free liquids, used oil, waste tires and electronic devices from disposal. In Greeley those items go to the county facility on North 17th Avenue, and business loads need an appointment.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Cheapest to rent is not always cheapest to empty, though. Load it with concrete, brick or soil and the weight allowance runs out early. Keeping dense material in its own container usually produces the lower total.
A three-day rental normally costs the same as five, because the price covers delivery, haul and disposal rather than days on site. Debris weight affects the bill far more than the calendar. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and the rate per extra ton.
Most construction and household debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, siding, furniture, carpet and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are accepted and usually cost less kept in their own load. Check anything unusual with your account manager before loading it.
