At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Loveland, Colorado, and the wider Larimer County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. New construction east of Interstate 25, basement finishes and kitchen projects in the older neighborhoods near Lake Loveland, and steady commercial work along Eisenhower Boulevard keep containers moving here all year.
What you pay turns on the size you pick, how heavy your debris is, how long you keep the container, and what the county charges to take the load. Below you'll find our price ranges, when Loveland wants a street permit, what Colorado keeps out of landfills, and where your debris actually ends up.

Here's what actually moves the number on a Loveland quote.
Size leads. Bigger containers cost more, but the costly error is going too small. A second haul, or weight over the included tonnage, adds more than one correct container would have.
Debris weight comes next. Shingles, tile, stucco, and broken concrete are dense, so they reach the weight limit while the container still looks half empty. Cabinets, drywall, and household junk behave the other way.
The trip to the county site is the third piece. Loveland loads run north to the Larimer County transfer station, and the county sets the charge by weight at the scale. Loads have to arrive covered, and the county doubles the charge on any load that shows up uncovered, so every hauled container is covered.
City rules are the fourth. A container in the street needs a permit, and the city can take up to ten business days to approve one. That lead time is worth building into your schedule. Your account manager can tell you early whether your spot needs one.

Pick by volume first, then sanity check the weight. We run five sizes, and most Loveland homes do fine in the middle of the range.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest we carry. It suits a single bathroom, a small deck tear-out, or a garage corner. It's also the right pick for concrete, brick, and soil, since heavy material tops out the weight long before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout, a flooring job, or a small roof. It's the practical middle step when a 10 looks tight.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most often delivered around Loveland. A finished basement, a whole-house cleanout, or a remodel across a few rooms all fit comfortably.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a full renovation, a new home build, or an outbuilding tear-down. Reach for it when the debris is bulky and the job runs for weeks.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's built for commercial construction, large demolition, and industrial cleanouts with a steady stream of waste.
If you're torn between two sizes, describe the job to your account manager and they'll help you land on one.
On your own driveway or a private job site, no city permit is needed in Loveland. Keeping the container on private ground is the simplest route, and we look for that first.
If any part of the container sits in the street, the alley, or the sidewalk, the city requires a permit. Loveland splits these into major and minor permits, and the minor right-of-way permit is the one that names dumpsters directly. The city asks for a signed application, a certificate of liability insurance naming the City of Loveland as additional insured, and a written traffic control plan. An incomplete package won't be reviewed.
Two details catch people out. First, the city allows a street obstruction only where it's needed for work on the property next to it, and only for as short a time as is reasonable, so a container left in the street for convenience is not something the city can approve. Second, approval takes up to ten business days, longer if a lane has to close. Each day a container sits in the street without a permit counts as its own violation.
Applications go to the Public Works office at 2525 W 1st Street. To check on an application, call the right-of-way permit technician at 970-962-3153. Traffic control questions go to the Traffic Division at 970-962-2750. If your job touches Eisenhower Boulevard, Cleveland Avenue, Garfield Avenue, or Lincoln Avenue, a state highway permit may also apply, and your account manager can point you to the right office before you book.
Everyday remodel and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from Colorado law and from what the Larimer County facilities turn away at the gate.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment keeps a short list out of every landfill in the state: lead acid batteries, used oil, free liquids, waste tires, and waste electronic devices and computers. That last one covers televisions, monitors, and computers from a job site, not just from a house.
Larimer County adds its own refusals. Friable asbestos is not accepted at all, while non-friable asbestos needs a manifest. Bulk liquids, materials holding PCBs, soil contaminated with petroleum other than gasoline or diesel, and car bodies are all turned away. Drums and barrels over five gallons have to be punched open or crushed before they arrive. Ten or more tires in one load triggers a separate state registration.
Hazardous waste, paint, solvents, and fuel stay out of a standard container as well. Mattresses, couches, furniture, and appliances are generally fine, though some carry a per item charge.
When something falls in a gray area, ask your account manager before it goes in. A rejected load costs far more than a two-minute question.
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.
Most Loveland debris goes north to the Larimer County Central Diversion and Transfer Station at 2388 W Trilby Rd, Fort Collins, CO 80526. It replaced the old Taft Hill Road landfill in August 2026 and is open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with the gates closing promptly at 4:30. From Loveland it's about six miles north on Wilson Avenue. The county's disposal page is the place to check before a holiday.
From there, material is moved to the Larimer County North Landfill at 15669 N County Rd 9, Wellington, CO 80549. That site is entirely county owned and mainly takes loads from the transfer station and from commercial haulers, so it isn't somewhere you'd drive yourself.
Two local quirks are worth knowing. The county closes its sites in high wind, which happens on the Front Range, and there's a 24 hour line for closure updates. And every load has to be covered, or the charge doubles.
For sorted materials, the City of Loveland Recycling Center at 400 N. Wilson Ave., Loveland, CO 80537 takes yard waste, batteries, mattresses, and clean concrete in small amounts. It's closed Monday and open Tuesday through Sunday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Your account manager can confirm which site your container is headed to and what that means for your bill.
2388 W Trilby Rd, Fort Collins, CO 80526
Run by Larimer County. Open Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with gates closing promptly at 4:30.
15669 N County Rd 9, Wellington, CO 80549
County owned. Takes loads from the transfer station and from commercial haulers, with limited public access.
400 N. Wilson Ave., Loveland, CO 80537
Closed Monday. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
Most Loveland rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking earlier gives you room to clear the drop spot and, if the container is going in the street, to get the city permit started.
A few habits make delivery day easy:
Keep the county schedule in mind too. The transfer station is closed on Sundays and on major holidays, and a strong wind day can shut it with little notice, so a container filled late Saturday may not be emptied until the following week.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery across Loveland and the surrounding Larimer County communities, from downtown and the Lake Loveland neighborhoods out to Johnstown, Berthoud, Campion, and the growing corridor along Interstate 25. Whether it's a single-room remodel or a multi-month build, we handle the drop, the swap, and the haul around your crew's calendar.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, flag whether the city needs to see a permit, and give 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 runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Your debris type and the county's charge by weight shift the final number. Your account manager confirms what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before you commit.
Renting usually wins past a couple of pickup loads. Self-hauling means a minimum charge at the scale each trip, fuel up and back, and your own hours. A container also lets you load over several days instead of racing the gate hours.
Yes, easily. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a few chairs, and boxes. With furniture you run out of space well before you run out of weight allowance.
Keep out hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, and free liquids. Colorado also bars lead acid batteries, used oil, tires, and electronics such as televisions, monitors, and computers from landfills. Friable asbestos is refused outright. Mention anything unusual when you book so we can plan for it.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. Cheapest up front isn't always cheapest in the end, though. Load it with tile or concrete and the weight allowance goes quickly. Keeping dense material in its own small container is often the better value.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, because the price covers the job rather than the calendar. Weight is what moves your bill. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and the overage rate and you'll know your worst case before delivery.
Most construction and cleanout debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, siding, carpet, furniture, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted and often cost less when kept separate from mixed debris. If an item seems borderline, check before you load it.
