Dumpster Rental in Commerce City, Colorado

Commerce City handles dumpster permits at the city level, and the rules are relatively practical. If your container fits entirely on private property — a driveway, a job-site lot, or private commercial yard — no permit is needed. Most single-family homes in Rose Hill, Derby, and the newer residential areas north of 96th Avenue have driveways that can accommodate a 10 or 15-yard container without any encroachment issue.

If you need to place the dumpster in the public right-of-way — the street itself or the public sidewalk zone — a permit is required and a fee of approximately $50 applies. Containers cannot be placed on arterial streets, and mixed-heavy bins (concrete, dirt, heavy materials) are generally not permitted in the street. Contact Commerce City Public Works at 8602 Rosemary Street, Commerce City, CO 80022 to confirm requirements for your specific address before scheduling delivery.

Commerce City pricing runs close to the broader Denver metro market — accessible and competitive, with multiple haulers serving the area. Most rentals land in the $350–$560 range for a standard 7-day rental with a typical 2–4 ton weight allowance included. The most-rented size for residential work is the 20-yard container at around $430–$510.

• 10-yard dumpster: $320–$390 — small cleanouts, single bathroom gut, minor deck removal
• 15-yard dumpster: $370–$440 — kitchen demo, medium garage cleanout, multi-room flooring and drywall
• 20-yard dumpster: $430–$510 — the workhorse size; handles full roofing tear-offs, home renovation projects, estate cleanouts
• 30-yard dumpster: $490–$580 — commercial debris, large residential cleanouts, new construction framing waste
• 40-yard dumpster: $560–$660 — major demolition, large commercial jobs, industrial waste removal

Overage fees for loads exceeding the weight allowance typically run $55–$75 per ton. Commerce City's industrial character means heavier loads — concrete rubble, asphalt, dense fill — are common. Always confirm included tonnage upfront, especially if you're demoing a concrete slab or loading roofing shingles, which pack more weight per yard than most people expect.

Commerce City has a distinct advantage for dumpster rental customers: the Tower Landfill sits right in town at 19260 E. 88th Ave, Commerce City, CO 80022. Open since 1981, Tower Landfill serves residential and commercial customers throughout the area and offers a free drop-off to Commerce City residents — one load per household with proof of residency. Hours run Monday through Saturday, 5:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., closed Sundays and select holidays. Having a local landfill keeps disposal costs lower and turnaround faster for Commerce City roll-off customers compared to metro Denver areas that haul further out.

For loads that go through a transfer station first, the D&R Transfer Station at 6091 Brighton Boulevard, Commerce City, CO 80022 handles a wide range of commercial and residential waste. Brighton Boulevard runs straight through Commerce City's industrial core, making this a practical stop for haulers serving the area's construction and demolition projects.

• Tower Landfill — 19260 E. 88th Ave, Commerce City, CO 80022; Mon–Sat 5 a.m.–3 p.m.; free residential drop-off with proof of residency
• D&R Transfer Station — 6091 Brighton Blvd, Commerce City, CO 80022; commercial and residential waste
• A-1 Organics — Commerce City; yard waste and organics diversion
• HHW Voucher Program — Commerce City residents can use the Veolia HHW Recycling Center in Henderson, CO for household chemicals

Commerce City's population reached roughly 62,000 at the 2020 census — a 36% jump from 2010 — driven by residential growth to the north and east while the industrial core along Brighton Boulevard and the Suncor refinery corridor remains steady. That combination creates a wide range of roll-off container work across different neighborhoods and project types.

• Residential renovation and cleanouts: Neighborhoods like Rose Hill, Derby, and the newer subdivisions north of 104th Avenue produce a steady flow of kitchen remodels, bathroom gut jobs, and whole-house cleanouts. The older housing stock in Rose Hill and Derby often means outdated fixtures, cast-iron pipe, and plaster walls — denser loads than typical drywall-heavy renovations.
• Roofing tear-offs: Commerce City sits squarely in the Front Range hail belt. A typical home shingle tear-off fills a 10 to 15-yard container. Hail season runs April through August — book early after a storm event, as containers get tight fast across the north Denver metro area.
• Commercial and industrial debris: Brighton Boulevard and the surrounding industrial zones generate commercial demolition, warehouse cleanout, and light industrial debris work. Larger 30 and 40-yard containers are more common here than in purely residential communities.
• New construction waste: The residential growth corridors north of Commerce City Marketplace and along E-470 produce framing waste, packaging, drywall scraps, and finishing debris on an ongoing basis as new subdivisions come online.
• Concrete and hardscape removal: Driveway replacement, slab demo, and retaining wall teardown are frequent asks. Concrete loads are weight-dense — a 10-yard container can hit its tonnage limit before looking half full. Use the smallest container that fits your volume, and always ask about the included weight allowance.
• Pre-sale and estate cleanouts: Commerce City's mix of longtime residents and investment properties generates estate clearances and pre-listing cleanouts year-round. A 15 or 20-yard container handles most full-house cleanouts, though properties with heavy garage accumulation may need a second pull.
