Dumpster Rental in
Colorado Springs, CO
Roll-off rental for Colorado Springs homes, storefronts and job sites. Pick from 10 to 40 yards — a 10 yard costs $611-$870 and the standard rental runs 10 days, the same process for a one-off cleanout or a repeat contractor.
Mon–Fri 6am–6pm MT
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
No quote-chasing: the numbers for Colorado are on the page. One call books the container, one account manager owns the order until pickup, and the delivery date you set is the one the truck works to.
El Paso County wraps around Colorado Springs, and where a job sits inside that footprint changes little about how a rental works. Old North End, Hillside and Cragmor sit close together on the same truck routes near the city's core. Farther out, lots run larger and driveways longer, and a container still lands on schedule, just with more room to maneuver.
Hail is the physical driver that shapes a lot of exterior work here — roofs get replaced after a bad storm, not on a fixed schedule, and shingles are heavy enough that the container fills by weight long before it looks full. Ahead of winter the same logic applies to roofing done proactively, plus yard debris cut back before snow load becomes an issue. On the construction side, commercial fit-outs downtown throw off drywall and packaging, while residential jobs in older homes tend to produce more plaster and lath. Whichever it is, keep the site clean and have a reliable phone number ready for the driver, and the delivery goes smoothly.
Dumpster Sizes in Colorado Springs
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Colorado Springs, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
The 10 yard runs $611 to $870 and is the pick when debris is dense: tile, plaster and shingles reach the weight limit long before a bigger container would look full.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
Renovation debris — cabinets, drywall, subfloor, trim — is what the 20 yard is built around, at $700 to $985. When two sizes both look right, this is the safer middle.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
The 40 yard is the largest we place, $875 to $1170. Demolition volume. Check the approach before you order one, because it needs a long straight run.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
The 15 yard suits estate cleanouts and downsizing jobs — volume without much weight — and sits in the same driveway slot the smaller container uses.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
When the job is measured in rooms rather than fixtures, the 30 yard at $815 to $1060 keeps a crew from waiting on swaps. Save it for bulk; dense debris maxes the allowance early.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Colorado Springs, CO
For homeowners
Cleanouts, moves, remodels, a yard that got away — homeowner debris is mostly light and bulky, and a 10 or 20 yard handles it from the driveway. If the job includes tile, plaster or concrete, say so when you book: dense material changes which size is right.
For contractors
Roofing crews watch weight, not space: a tear-off hits the tonnage allowance long before the rim. Demo crews are the same with plaster and tile. Framing and cleanup phases flip it — bulky, light, volume-driven. Say what phase the Colorado Springs job is in and the container follows.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Colorado Springs
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Colorado Springs, CO?
Dumpster rental pricing in Colorado Springs varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Colorado Springs
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $611 – $870 | $230 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $700 – $985 | $225 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $815 – $1060 | $245 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $875 – $1170 | $330 | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Colorado Springs address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (888) 880-2035 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Colorado Springs
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Colorado Springs dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Colorado Springs dumpster costs range from $611 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1170 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
Usually quickly, but it depends on the week. Deliveries are grouped by direction, so how soon a container reaches Colorado Springs comes down to what is already on the schedule for that part of the map.
If the project has a firm start date, call a couple of days ahead of it. Same-week drops happen all the time; counting on one without asking first is how people end up waiting.
Measure the job by its debris, not its square footage. One bathroom or a single room of flooring is a 10. A full kitchen, cabinets and counters included, fills a 20. Whole-floor gut jobs and big cleanouts run to a 30.
The larger sizes share the same footprint and only grow taller, so a bigger container does not need a bigger driveway. The exception is heavy material: shingles, tile, concrete or dirt hit the weight limit long before the container looks full, so mention them when you call and let the tonnage set the size.
It depends on where the container sits. On your own driveway or lot, Colorado Springs doesn't require a permit. Place it on the street instead and the city does require one, since that's public right-of-way rather than private property.
The city handles the permit itself; ZTERS isn't the one issuing it. If your site needs a street placement, call ahead and we'll go over what Colorado Springs asks for and the timing, so the paperwork and the delivery line up.
Delivery and pickup run on the date booked across Old North End, Hillside and Cragmor, with coverage extending out to Monument and Fountain for jobs just beyond the city line.
Placing a dumpster on the street is possible in Colorado Springs, but it needs a permit first since the street belongs to the city, not the homeowner. Most residential deliveries end up on the driveway instead, which skips that step entirely and is usually the simpler choice anyway.
