Getting a truck onto a rural Hotchkiss property is usually the easy part—most driveways and lots on the western slope have room to spare. Hotchkiss sits in Delta County, serving a mix of residential properties and small commercial sites. The housing stock is a blend of older homes and newer construction, which means steady work from kitchen and bathroom remodels, roofing tear-offs, and property turnovers. Baxter Reservoir and the nearby hatchery anchor the area, and demand holds up across the season.
The western slope works year-round but peaks with the seasons. Fall roofing dominates ahead of winter; spring brings yard clearing after storms and whatever moisture got into things over the cold months. Material matters more than house size here. Heavy stuff—roofing, brick, concrete pulled out of the older homes—hits the tonnage cap long before the walls empty out. A 30 yard handles typical roofing and remodel loads, while the 40 yard is for dense demolition work, the kind that comes off older construction on the far side of town and out toward Paonia. Soft soil or wet ground calls for plywood under the rails, and the truck needs 60 feet of level backing space to set down. Call with the job scope and the ground conditions for delivery and pickup planning, and the work goes smooth.
Dumpster Sizes in Hotchkiss
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Hotchkiss, 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 $690 to $800 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.
The 20 yard is the renovation workhorse, $790 to $945. Cabinets, subfloor and trim from a kitchen and a bath together fit with room to spare.
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.
A 40 yard is for jobs that would otherwise take two containers: a full gut-and-remodel, storm cleanup across a property, a commercial refit. $990 to $1151, the tallest container we place — same footprint as the 20 and 30, with eight-foot walls.
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.
When a 10 would overflow and a 20 will not fit the drive, the 15 yard splits the difference — extra height on the same length, room for a whole-garage clearout.
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.
The 30 yard is the clearout size: attic, basement and garage in one container, $845 to $970. Tall sides add capacity, not weight allowance, so concrete and dirt still price by weight.
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 Hotchkiss, CO
For homeowners
For a homeowner, the container usually lands on the driveway and holds a cleanout or a remodel: old furniture, drywall, flooring, the contents of a packed garage. Light, awkward material fills space long before it hits a weight limit, so pick the size by volume and load the big pieces flat.
For contractors
On a build or a gut job in Hotchkiss, the debris changes by phase — framing scrap is bulky, demolition is dense, tear-offs are heavier than they look. Matching the container to the phase beats parking one big container for the whole job, and swaps keep the site clear without a second setup.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Hotchkiss
- 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 Hotchkiss, CO?
Dumpster rental pricing in Hotchkiss 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 Hotchkiss
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $690 – $800 | $320 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $790 – $945 | $510 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $845 – $970 | — | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $990 – $1151 | $615 | 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 Hotchkiss 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 Hotchkiss
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
Hotchkiss dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Hotchkiss dumpster costs range from $690 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1151 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.
Yes. Hotchkiss requires a permit to place a dumpster on your property. Contact the Town of Hotchkiss or Delta County Planning to file your application and confirm any placement restrictions.
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 where the trucks already are that week. Containers run routes, so a drop gets grouped with other stops heading the same direction, and how quickly one reaches Hotchkiss moves with how full the schedule already is.
Call with the dates you have in mind and ask for the current window. Ordering a day or two before you actually want to start loading is the habit that saves people a scramble.
You get 10 days from the day it is dropped, which covers nearly every single-project rental with room to spare. Nobody is standing over the clock.
Need longer? Call before the window closes and add days for an additional daily fee. Done early? Call and the pickup moves up, as long as the truck has not already been routed for the day.
The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short: paint and liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances that still hold refrigerant.
Everything else from a normal renovation or cleanout is fine. Concrete, brick and dirt are accepted but priced by weight, so mention them when you book rather than at pickup. If you are unsure about an item, ask before it goes over the rail — it is a shorter conversation than an unloading fee.
Whether a dumpster can sit at the curb in Hotchkiss comes down to your specific block and the Town's right-of-way rules. Check with the Town of Hotchkiss to confirm your location qualifies before the truck shows up.
