At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Louisville, Colorado, and the wider Boulder County corridor in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Old Town Louisville is full of small brick and frame houses being reworked one room at a time, while the Centennial Valley and Colorado Technology Center side runs a steady line of commercial fit-outs and construction, so the container mix here swings between tight residential drops and large commercial sets.
Your figure depends on the container size, the material going in, how long you keep it, and what the receiving site charges by weight. The section below also covers something most Colorado cities do not have, which is a county licensing step that sits above the City and reaches construction debris by name.

Louisville is unusual in Colorado. Its rules reach a project container plainly, and that shows up in the paperwork more than in the price.
Start with the county step. Before working as a hauler in the city, a hauler has to hold a current annual license from the Boulder County Resource Conservation Division and show the City proof of it. The City's own wording names anyone who moves construction and demolition materials for another for a fee. A roll-off on a remodel sits inside that duty. There is a narrow carve-out for a builder hauling debris it made itself, and a container rental is not that. Your account manager confirms what applies to your address before we schedule.
That county license is cheap and open. Boulder County charges an annual fee of $50 for up to the first three vehicles and $10 for each additional vehicle, applied for through the county's own online reporting account and renewed each year. The county's Resource Conservation Division answers on 720-564-2220.
Then weight. The City separates construction and demolition materials from ordinary refuse in its definitions, and Boulder County asks haulers to report landfilled and recycled construction and demolition tonnage separately each year. In practice that means a clean, sorted load is easier and often cheaper to place than a mixed one, which is worth knowing before you start throwing everything into the same container.
After that it is the familiar arithmetic. A larger container costs more but saves a second delivery and a second haul, and matching the size to the room count keeps you well clear of the overage line.

Choose for the densest material first, then check the volume. Prime Dumpster runs five sizes throughout Louisville.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the heavy-load option. A patio slab, a block retaining wall, old tile or a single-layer tear-off hit a weight limit long before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is right for a garage cleared to the floor, one bathroom taken back to studs, or a modest section of roof. It is the size that usually fits an Old Town project without dominating the driveway.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the Louisville standard. A kitchen and a bathroom together, flooring stripped from a whole single-storey house, or a basement finish all fit without crowding.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, pop-tops and new residential construction, where packaging and offcuts take up volume much faster than weight.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is sized for the Colorado Technology Center end of town: commercial interiors, structural demolition and industrial clearing. Prime Dumpster carries nothing larger.
Unsure where your project lands between two sizes? Describe the rooms and the materials to your account manager and they will make the call for you.
A container on your own driveway or inside a fenced work area needs no City permit in Louisville. There is no container size cap in the code either. The phrase "cubic yard" appears nowhere in the health, street, business or contractor titles, so none of our sizes is capped on private ground. Nothing there makes a City approval wait on a homeowners association sign-off either.
The street is a different matter, and Louisville does publish a route. It is unlawful to obstruct a street or sidewalk with debris, lumber, sand, gravel, dirt or any other material or substance without first getting a permit from the traffic engineer. That permit may be granted only where the obstruction is necessary for the construction, alteration or repair of the adjoining property, and the code says the obstruction must be limited to as short a time as is reasonably possible. Every day an unpermitted obstruction continues is a separate offence.
Read that twice. It is a necessity test, not a convenience test. The traffic engineer is asking whether the work next door makes the street spot necessary, not whether your driveway is awkward. No fixed number of days is attached. That cuts both ways. There is no clock to run out, but there is no set window either. The code also bars blocking more than one block and one intersection at a time.
The City of Louisville is at 749 Main Street and its published number is 303-666-6565, which you can confirm on the City's own website. Your account manager finds the traffic engineer's desk, tells you what the application needs, and keeps the schedule honest about the lead time.
Colorado's state health department publishes a prohibited list that is written for residential material, and it covers lead-acid batteries, liquid wastes or wastes containing free liquids unless the receiving facility is specifically approved for them, used oil, waste tires unless due diligence establishes there is no other option, and waste electronic devices and computers.
A contractor load answers to that list and then to the receiving facility's own acceptance rules on top of it. In practice the items to keep out of any container are hazardous material of every kind, paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, pool chemicals, part-used aerosols, asbestos and medical sharps.
Tires, electronics and major appliances need naming at booking rather than discovering at the gate, because each one carries its own route and its own charge.
Louisville adds a load-security rule that is easy to satisfy and easy to forget: loose material may not be hauled except in tight receptacles or truck bodies fitted with covers that stop anything escaping. On a windy Front Range afternoon that means the tarp goes on before the truck moves.
Ask your account manager about anything unusual before it goes in, especially on a job that mixes demolition material with household contents.
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.
Boulder County runs no landfill of its own, so a Louisville container load leaves the county line for disposal and the destination is set per job rather than by a single fixed site.
The county does run a recycling campus at 1901 63rd Street in Boulder, open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday on 720-564-2220, with a hazardous materials facility across the parking lot from it, and it runs small transfer stations up in Allenspark and Nederland. The county publishes the site but not the name of the contractor that runs the floor, and we only present a facility as a public operation when both the owner and the operator are public, so the recycling campus is named here for context rather than as the destination for your container.
What does apply to your load is the reporting trail. Boulder County's licensing rules ask haulers for annual totals that separate landfilled construction and demolition material from recycled construction and demolition material, which is why a sorted load is treated differently from a mixed one. The county's Resource Conservation Division is reachable on the number above.
Your account manager confirms the receiving site, its hours, its per-ton figure and the weight ticket arrangements before the truck leaves, and will get you the documentation if your project needs it on file.
Most Louisville orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A street placement runs longer, because the traffic engineer's permit has to be issued before the container can be set.
Five habits that keep a Louisville delivery on schedule:
One Colorado-specific point: snow and a frozen apron slow a set-down more than paperwork does, so winter jobs are worth booking a day earlier than you think you need.

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 Louisville the 10-yard sits at $399 to $499 and the 40-yard at $699 to $899, on a five-day basis. The disposal figure at the receiving site and the weight of your load then move the total. Your account manager agrees the Louisville tonnage allowance and the overage rate when the order goes in.
Nearly always, yes. With no county landfill in Boulder County, self-hauling a remodel means repeated trips out of the county, a gate charge every visit, and double handling. One container collapses that into a single scheduled haul with one weight ticket.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves room for a bed frame, a dresser and a few boxes of household material. Furniture fills space well before it threatens the weight allowance on that size.
No hazardous material, liquids or free-liquid wastes, used oil, paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, pool chemicals, lead-acid batteries or asbestos. Tires and electronic devices are on Colorado's prohibited list as well, and appliances need to be named at booking so they are routed properly.
Louisville's lowest entry figure is the 10-yard at $399 to $499. Whether it is the cheapest outcome turns on what the load is made of. Dense Front Range material such as flagstone, slab and tile reaches the weight ceiling quickly, so a dedicated heavy container often beats overage on a mixed one.
A three-day rental generally matches the five-day price, because the quote is built around the project rather than billed by the day. Weight is what actually changes your invoice. Settle the included tonnage and the per-ton overage rate with your account manager and the figure holds.
Framing scrap, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, doors, windows, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout material are all acceptable in Louisville. Clean concrete, block and brick are fine too, and a sorted load is easier to report and often cheaper. Anything doubtful goes to your account manager before the Louisville container is loaded.
