Guides and answers
Dumpster rental questions
Quick answers first. The longer guides below go into permits, sizes, placement and price.
Mon–Sat 6am–6pm, Sun 6am–11am (Mountain Time)
Does a dumpster on my driveway need a permit in Colorado Springs?
Not from the city. The Revocable Permit applies to the public right-of-way, such as the street, an alley or a sidewalk. An HOA may still have its own rules.
Can I put a roll-off on the street in Falcon or Black Forest?
El Paso County doesn't allow dumpsters or similar containers in the county right-of-way, so it has to go on your property.
What hours can I call?
Mon–Sat 6am–6pm, Sun 6am–11am (Mountain Time). The companies that answer are independent local businesses keeping their own office hours.
Is this number for my weekly trash pickup?
No. It's for renting a roll-off or a porta potty. For weekly trash and recycling, contact your trash hauler. In Manitou Springs that's the city's contracted hauler.
How soon can a dumpster be dropped off?
It depends on the company's schedule and the season. After a big hailstorm, roofing containers book up. Ask about delivery dates on the call.
How full can I load it?
Up to the top of the walls and no higher, and within the weight allowance. Heavy material often has a lower fill line.
Can I throw away old paint?
Liquid paint goes to the El Paso County household hazardous waste facility. Empty, fully dried cans are usually fine in the container.
Will the truck damage my driveway?
Plywood under the rails spreads the load. Mention any soft asphalt, pavers or a culvert on the call so the driver plans for it.
Do you deliver to Woodland Park?
The companies decide where they deliver. Call and give your address; mountain addresses may cost more for the drive.
Who do I pay?
The rental company that quotes and delivers the container. Colorado Springs Dumpster Rentals doesn't take payments.
