Dumpster Rental in
Wellington, CO
ZTERS serves Wellington and its neighbors across Larimer County with roll-off dumpsters from 10 to 40 yards. A 10 yard runs $620-$750, and the rental includes 10 days to load it.
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.
A 20 yard in Wellington runs $675 to $815 for the ten-day rental; a 30 yard runs $695 to $825. Kitchen turnovers and small renovations on lots like Park Meadows and Cottonwood Shores land in that range — a driveway's worth of demo, cabinets, single-room work — and ZTERS sets the container against the garage, then picks it up once the space is clear.
Wellington's housing is mostly newer construction — subdivisions built out over the last two decades along West County Road 70 — so a typical cleanout skews toward drywall trim, cabinet cutoffs and flooring scraps rather than old plaster or full lath-and-horsehair demolition. That keeps weight down and volume up, which is where the 20 yard earns its keep. Older lots nearer North College Avenue throw a heavier mix: fence removal, shed teardown, the odd load of shingles from a reroof. Either way, delivery happens once and the container holds its space until the job is clean, whether that takes three days or the full ten. A 15 yard splits the difference for a garage-only job.
Dumpster Sizes in Wellington
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Wellington, 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 $620 to $750 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.
Most kitchen-plus-bath remodels land in the 20 yard, $675 to $815. It takes the cabinets, counters, subfloor and trim in one go, with the footprint of a delivery truck.
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.
Nothing bigger goes on a truck. The 40 yard runs $815 to $940 and suits light, high-volume debris; loaded with anything dense it hits the road-weight limit half full.
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.
The 30 yard runs $695 to $825 and has tall walls, so it earns its price on bulk rather than weight: siding, framing, a whole-house clearout.
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 Wellington, 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
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 Wellington job is in and the container follows.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Wellington
- 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 Wellington, CO?
Dumpster rental pricing in Wellington 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 Wellington
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $620 – $750 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $675 – $815 | — | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $695 – $825 | — | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $815 – $940 | — | 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 Wellington 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 Wellington
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
Wellington dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Wellington dumpster costs range from $620 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $940 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.
Park Meadows, Cottonwood Shores, Cottonwood Shores West, and the rest of Wellington on both sides of town all get the same coverage.
Placement is usually on your own driveway or lot no matter which part of town you're in, so the container goes wherever there's a clear, level spot for the truck to back into.
Not for a container that stays on your own driveway or property — that's where nearly every delivery in Wellington ends up sitting.
A permit only comes into play if there's no room on-site and the container has to sit in the street or a public right-of-way, which is uncommon on the wider lots typical here.
Almost everything from a renovation or cleanout is accepted. The exceptions come from the disposal facility, not from us: paint and liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances with refrigerant still in them.
Heavy masonry, concrete and dirt are allowed but priced by weight, which is worth mentioning at booking instead of discovering at the scale. Unsure about something? Ask before it goes in.
Work from what is coming out, not from the size of the house. A single bathroom or one room of flooring fills a 10. A kitchen with cabinets and counters wants the 20. Gut work across several rooms, or a barn with decades of storage in it, is 30 yard territory.
Roofing is its own case. Shingles are heavy for the space they take, so the tonnage allowance runs out long before the walls do. If concrete, brick or dirt is going in, say so when you call, because that changes the answer completely.
When two sizes both look plausible, the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
If your job does need street placement, that request goes through the Town of Wellington rather than ZTERS — call their public works office with your dates and the container size so it can be processed before delivery day.
Most residential and small commercial jobs skip this step entirely, since a driveway placement doesn't require anything beyond calling ZTERS to book the date.
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 Wellington 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.
