Dumpster Rental in Longmont, Colorado

If you plan to set a roll-off container on a Longmont public street, sidewalk, or any other right-of-way, you need a Work in the Right-of-Way Permit from the City of Longmont's Planning and Development Services. Applications go to the Development Services Center at 385 Kimbark Street (Longmont, CO 80501) or by phone at (303) 651-8330 and email at PWEng@longmontcolorado.gov.

The city also requires proof of current homeowner's or renter's insurance with minimum liability limits of $350,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence before issuing a temporary obstruction permit. Once your documents are submitted and reviewed, most straightforward permits are processed in 24–48 hours, though larger or more complex setups can take up to five business days.

Give yourself at least three business days before your delivery date if a street permit is needed. Most Longmont providers are familiar with the local process and can help you navigate paperwork if you're unsure.

Longmont sits in a competitive Northern Colorado corridor between Boulder and Greeley, which keeps pricing reasonable. Local and regional providers active in the area include Trash Daddy Dumpsters, DDD Dumpster Rental, McCoys Dumpster Rentals, Bin There Dump That, Discount Dumpster, and Budget Dumpster. Here's what you can expect to pay:

• 10-yard dumpster: $383–$450 — single-room cleanouts, small deck removals, minor landscaping debris
• 15-yard dumpster: $430–$510 — bathroom remodels, garage cleanouts, small roofing jobs
• 20-yard dumpster: $480–$570 — kitchen renovations, flooring replacement, full-room gut-outs
• 30-yard dumpster: $540–$620 — whole-home cleanouts, larger remodels, moderate construction waste
• 40-yard dumpster: $600–$654 — commercial builds, major demolition, large estate cleanouts

Rental periods are typically 10 days, with a per-ton weight limit built into the base price. Overages usually run $50–$80 per additional ton. Heavier debris like concrete, roofing shingles, and brick eats through weight allowances fast — be upfront about material type when booking so your provider can suggest the right container and weight package.

Longmont's ongoing infill development and steady housing turnover mean rental demand stays consistent year-round, without the severe hail-season spikes seen in some other Front Range markets. That said, spring and early summer — when remodels ramp up — can tighten availability, so book a few days ahead when you can.

Longmont's housing stock ranges from 1950s–1970s ranch homes in Old Town and South Longmont to newer builds in Fox Hill, Clover Basin, and the Spring Valley area — each neighborhood tends toward different project types and debris volumes. Here's a practical guide:

• 10-yard: Ideal for a single-room remodel, small deck teardown, or spring yard cleanup. Holds roughly 3–4 pickup truck loads.
• 15-yard: Good fit for a bathroom gut-out, garage cleanout, or a single-story roofing job. Covers most standard Old Town bungalow projects.
• 20-yard: The most versatile and commonly rented size. Works well for kitchen remodels, flooring replacements across multiple rooms, or a combined cleanout plus renovation haul.
• 30-yard: Right choice for full-home cleanouts in larger ranch or two-story homes, or multi-phase renovation projects. Common in South Longmont estate work.
• 40-yard: Commercial builds, new construction waste, or major demolition in Longmont's active development corridors near Diagonal Highway and US-287.

When in doubt, go one size up. Renting a second container or swap costs more than sizing up from the start. For roofing jobs, ask your provider about a dedicated shingles container — asphalt shingles are dense and a full roof tear-off can push a standard weight limit quickly.

Longmont closed its city-owned landfill in 1992. Today, roll-off providers and the city's waste services haul nonhazardous debris to the Front Range Landfill at 1830 Weld County Road 5 in Erie — about 10 miles east of Longmont. Disposal fees are charged by weight at the landfill, which is factored into what your rental provider charges for overages.

For recyclables and general recycling drop-off, the City of Longmont Recycling Center at 140 Martin Street is open 24/7 for standard materials. Boulder County also maintains drop-off centers for a wider range of items including electronics and appliances.

Items that cannot go in a roll-off dumpster in Longmont or anywhere in Boulder and Weld Counties include:

• Hazardous chemicals, solvents, paint (liquid), pesticides, and herbicides
• Lead-acid and lithium batteries
• Electronics — TVs, computers, monitors, appliances with refrigerants
• Tires (most providers won't accept these)
• Medical and biohazardous waste
• Asbestos-containing materials (requires a licensed abatement contractor)
• Liquid waste of any kind

Colorado CDPHE rules require separation of recyclable construction and demolition materials on many Front Range projects — ask your provider whether sorted concrete, clean wood, or metal needs to be separated before you start loading. Some Longmont providers offer split-load containers or separate pickups for certain material streams.
