How much does construction dumpster rental cost in Colorado Springs?
Cost depends on size and how long the box sits on site. A small construction dumpster rental, meaning the 10 yard unit, is the cheapest way to handle a garage cleanout or a single-room remodel, while a 30 or 40 yard box suits a full teardown or new build. For exact size specs, check dumpster sizes and dimensions before you order, because a box that is too small means a second haul and a second delivery fee. Most contractors working around Colorado Springs price the job by the week or month rather than by the day, since construction timelines slip. If you want the full cost breakdown by size and duration, see dumpster rental cost. Weight matters too. Concrete, dirt and shingles are heavy per cubic yard, and going over your limit adds charges, so read dumpster weight limits before loading. Note also that some materials, like tires and certain chemicals, cannot go in a roll-off at all; what cannot go in a dumpster covers the common rejects.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| dumpster | $51-$112 | $426-$778 | $500 (13 datapoints reach as high as $500 for a month; low end $91) |
What size construction dumpster do I need?
A 10 yard construction dumpster rental handles a bathroom remodel or a small deck removal. A 20 yard fits a roofing job or a kitchen gut. A 30 or 40 yard is built for framing waste on a new build or a full interior demo. If you are unsure, roll-off dumpster rental is the cluster page with sizing guidance for every job type, and 10 yard dumpster rental, 20 yard dumpster rental, 30 yard dumpster rental and 40 yard dumpster rental each break down what fits in that footprint. Placement matters on tight urban lots in Colorado Springs. OSHA 1926.25 requires scrap and debris to be cleared from work areas regularly, and OSHA 1926.252 covers disposal of waste materials including chutes and enclosures, both relevant once a crew starts filling a box fast. If the dumpster sits in a driveway or alley, confirm setback and access rules; see dumpster permit requirements before delivery day, since placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city.
Do construction dumpster rental companies charge extra for delivery?
Yes, most add a delivery fee separate from the rental rate. Delivery fees run $100 to $500 for a single day, $50 to $150 for a full week, and $120 to $420 across a full month, depending on distance and how many trips the truck makes. If your site is out past Cimarron Hills, 4.5 miles east of Colorado Springs, or further out toward Fountain, 18.2 miles south, factor that drive into your quote request. A crew working near Fort Carson, 19.0 miles south, or up toward Monument, 17.1 miles north, should ask about the trip charge up front rather than get surprised on the invoice. Request a quote if you want a delivery number specific to your jobsite address before you commit to a size.

Why do I need a portable toilet with my dumpster rental?
Because construction crews need sanitation on site, not just a place to dump debris. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio: 1 toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers up to 200. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) also requires an adequate supply of potable water at every place of employment. A standard porta potty rental pairs naturally with a roll-off order, and most Colorado Springs contractors book both from the same delivery run to save a trip. If your crew works with paints, coatings or solvents, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific contaminant exposure, which is different from the general toilet count. A handwashing station rental covers that requirement, and 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) specifies soap and towels or a hand-drying device, not hand sanitizer alone. For full crew sizing across a jobsite, how many porta potties do I need walks through the math, and OSHA portable toilet requirements covers the ratio in more depth. See construction site services for the full package most GCs order together.
Beyond toilets, a full construction site in Colorado Springs often needs more than a dumpster and a toilet. Temporary fence rental keeps the site secured overnight, light tower rental covers early morning or winter jobs with short daylight, and temporary power pole gets tools running before permanent service is in. If the project runs long, a storage container rental keeps tools and materials locked up between phases, and a mobile office trailer rental gives the super a place to run paperwork. For a renovation instead of new construction, home renovation porta potty covers smaller residential scope. Any of these can ship out alongside your dumpster on the same delivery.
How long can I keep a construction dumpster on my Colorado Springs property?
Rental length is flexible; day, week and month terms are all available, and monthly is the better value for any job running past two weeks. Confirm placement rules with the city if the box sits on a street or right of way, since local permit specifics need direct confirmation rather than guesswork.
What is the cheapest construction dumpster size?
The 10 yard is the cheapest option, with day rates starting around $51 and week rates from roughly $426. It suits small demo jobs, single-room remodels, and cleanups where a 20 or 30 yard box would sit half empty.
Can I put roofing shingles in a construction dumpster?
Yes, shingles are common in roll-offs, but they are heavy. Check dumpster weight limits before you load a full tear-off, since shingle weight adds up fast per yard and can push you over the included tonnage.
Do I need a permit for a construction dumpster in Colorado Springs?
Possibly, depending on where the box sits. If it goes on a street, sidewalk or right of way, that placement needs confirming with the city directly; see dumpster permit requirements for what to ask about before delivery.
Can I rent a dumpster and porta potty together?
Yes, most crews order both on one delivery. Pairing a portable toilet rental with your roll-off saves a trip charge and keeps the whole jobsite compliant with OSHA 1926.51(c) sanitation counts from day one.
