Dumpster Rental in Greeley, Colorado

If your dumpster will sit on a public street, alley, or sidewalk in Greeley, a right-of-way permit is required from the City of Greeley Public Works Department. You'll need to specify the container's location, dimensions, and how long it will occupy the public space. The application can be submitted in person at 1300 A Street, Building H, or by calling Greeley311 for guidance.

Private property placements — driveways, parking lots, or yards — don't require a permit. Most homeowners in established neighborhoods like Arlington Park or the University Area can skip the permit entirely by setting the container on their driveway.

Permit approval in Greeley is generally straightforward and quick. Give yourself at least 2–3 business days before your scheduled delivery if you're placing the container in the right-of-way.

Greeley sits in a competitive Northern Colorado market, so pricing tends to be reasonable compared to Denver or Boulder. Here's what to expect from local providers like Fuzion Field Services, Bin There Dump That, Sage Disposal, and Veteran Disposal:

• 10-yard dumpster: $250–$450 — small cleanouts, single-room demo, yard debris
• 15-yard dumpster: $350–$500 — bathroom remodels, garage cleanouts, small roofing jobs
• 20-yard dumpster: $400–$550 — kitchen remodels, flooring replacement, multi-room renovations
• 30-yard dumpster: $480–$650 — whole-home cleanouts, larger construction projects
• 40-yard dumpster: $550–$720 — commercial builds, major demolition, large estate cleanouts

Most rentals include a 10-day rental period and a per-ton weight allowance. Heavier debris like concrete, brick, or asphalt shingles from a roofing job will burn through that allowance faster — ask your provider for the included tonnage before booking. Overages typically run $50–$80 per additional ton.

Greeley's hail season (May through August) creates a surge in roofing dumpster demand. If you're scheduling a shingle tear-off after a storm, book early — containers fill up fast in the 80631 and 80634 ZIP codes during peak season.

Getting the size right saves money and prevents the frustrating need for a second container swap. Greeley's mix of older homes in the historic core and newer construction in West Greeley means project types vary considerably:

• Estate cleanout (older Downtown or Monroe District home): 20-yard is usually the sweet spot — enough room for furniture, boxes, and miscellaneous junk without overpaying for unused space
• Roofing tear-off: 10 or 15-yard works for a standard ranch; step up to 20-yard for a two-story or a steep-pitch job with heavy shingles
• Kitchen or bathroom remodel: 10-yard handles the cabinets, tile, and fixtures from a typical Greeley home remodel
• New construction in West Greeley: 30 or 40-yard containers are the norm for framing waste, concrete forms, and finishing debris on new builds
• Spring yard cleanup: A 10-yard is plenty for branches, sod, and garden waste — though check with your provider, as some restrict yard waste volume

University of Northern Colorado renovations and rental property turnovers near campus (ZIP 80631) frequently go with a 15 or 20-yard container to handle furniture, appliances, and general cleanout in one shot.

Greeley opened a new municipal transfer station off East 22nd Street that accepts nonhazardous waste weighed on certified scales — disposal is charged by the pound, making it convenient for loads that don't fill a full dumpster. The older Northern Colorado Disposal Transfer & Recovery facility at 14902 County Road 64 (970-353-4090) handles larger commercial and construction volumes.

For hazardous materials, Greeley residents can use the North Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 1311 N. 17th Avenue — open Tuesdays and Saturdays from 8 AM to 5 PM, with free drop-off for paint, pesticides, motor oil, batteries, and fluorescent bulbs. Don't put these in your roll-off container.

Items prohibited from dumpsters in Greeley and across Weld County include:

• Hazardous chemicals, solvents, and pesticides
• Lead-acid and lithium batteries
• E-waste (computers, TVs, electronics)
• Tires (in most circumstances)
• Medical and biohazardous waste
• Asbestos-containing materials (requires licensed contractor)
• Liquid waste or any material containing free liquids

Colorado CDPHE rules also require separation of recyclable construction and demolition materials in Weld County — concrete, clean wood, and metal should be sorted if your provider or the transfer station requires it. Ask before you load.
