Key Takeaways:
- Humpty Dump offers five construction dumpster sizes across the Greater Denver area: 10, 15, 20, and 30 yard standard roll-offs for mixed construction and demolition debris, plus a specialized 12 yard dumpster for heavy materials like concrete, brick, dirt, and rock.
- Weekly pricing ranges from $339 to $414, including delivery, pickup, fuel, environmental fees, and disposal up to each container’s weight allowance. The 10 yard starts at $339/week and the 30 yard at $414/week, with overage fees of $80/ton (up to 10 tons) and $150/ton above that.
- Dumpster size should match both debris volume and weight: 10 yard for small/single-room demo, 15–20 yard for mid-scale remodels and demolition, and 30 yard for whole-home teardowns and major construction. Heavy debris (concrete, brick, dirt, sod) must always go in the dedicated 12 yard concrete dumpster, never a standard roll-off.
- Clean concrete loads have no weight limit when filled to the designated fill line, while mixed heavy-material loads include 3 tons before overage pricing applies (concrete with rebar adds a $200 surcharge).
- Same-day and next-day delivery is often available for Greater Denver jobsites when ordered early; Humpty Dump supports commercial swap-outs, multi-container staging, bilingual service, online booking, and same-business-day quote responses.

Construction & Demolition Dumpster Rental: Sizing by Project Type
Construction dumpster sizes range from 10 to 30 yards, and the right construction dumpster depends on both the volume and weight of the material you’re disposing of. Small demolition projects usually use a 10 yard construction dumpster; medium-scale demo typically requires a 15 or 20 yard container; and major construction or teardown jobs often need a 30 yard dumpster. Heavy debris like concrete, brick, dirt, and rock should always go into a specialized 12 yard concrete dumpster regardless of project size.
Small Demolition: Bathroom, Kitchen & Single-Room Teardowns
Small demolition projects like bathroom remodels, small kitchen gut-outs, small deck removals, and single-room teardowns typically need a 10 yard construction dumpster. These containers cost $339/week; measure 13 feet long by 8 ½ feet wide by 3 ½ feet tall; and come with 2 tons included. The container fits comfortably in most driveways and can handle mixed construction debris efficiently.
If your project includes heavy debris like tile mortar beds, concrete sections, or masonry, pair the job with a 12 yard concrete dumpster rather than mixing dense material into a standard construction dumpster.
Medium Demolition: Siding, Multi-Room & Mid-Scale Teardowns
Medium-scale demolition projects such as exterior projects, flooring removal, drywall tear-outs, kitchen remodels, and multi-room interior demo usually require a 15 yard or 20 yard construction roll-off dumpster. The 15 yard dumpster starts at $364/week; measures 13 feet long by 8 ½ feet wide by 5 feet, 8 inches high; and comes with 2 tons included.
The 20 yard construction dumpster starts at $389/week; measures 13 feet long by 8 ½ feet wide by 6 feet, 4 inches high; and comes with 3 tons included. It provides an extra ton of weight capacity without taking up a bigger footprint.
Major Demolition: Whole-Home Teardowns & Large Construction
Major demolition and construction projects including whole-home teardowns, structural demo, large additions, and new construction cleanup typically require a 30 yard construction dumpster, which starts at $414/week with 3 tons included. The container measures 21 feet long, 8 ½ feet wide, and 6 ¼ feet tall. It features a rear swing door for walk-in loading of bulky framing and structural debris.
Heavy Debris: Dumpsters for Concrete, Brick, Dirt & Demo Rubble
Concrete, brick, rock, dirt, sod, and dense demolition rubble can easily exceed the included weight of our standard 10, 15, 20, and 30 yard construction roll-off dumpsters. Humpty Dump’s specialized 12 yard concrete and heavy-material dumpster is purpose-built for these dense loads and starts at $414/week.
The container measures 13 feet long by 8 feet wide and is 4 feet tall, designed for easier loading of concrete and masonry debris. Loads with only clean concrete and rebar have no weight limit when filled to the designated fill line, while mixed heavy-material loads include 3 tons before overage pricing applies.

What Affects Your Construction Dumpster Rental Cost
- Dumpster Size: Larger construction dumpsters cost more than smaller containers because they hold more debris. A 10 yard dumpster starts at $339/week, while a 30 yard construction dumpster starts at $414/week.
- Debris Type: Heavy materials like concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt can easily cause overage charges when loaded into standard construction dumpsters. Overage fees run $80/ton up to 10 tons and $150/ton above that threshold. Contractors handling heavy debris should use a dedicated 12 yard concrete dumpster instead.
- Rental Duration: Standard construction dumpster rental pricing includes a 7-day rental period. An additional week is available for $75 when added at time of booking. If projects run longer than expected, an additional week can be added after the fact for $125.
- Location: Service area affects delivery costs. Projects within our dedicated service area receive standard pricing, while deliveries beyond the normal coverage area may incur additional trip charges. Check your project location or request a quote to confirm pricing.
Construction Site Dumpster Logistics
Construction site dumpster logistics involve more than simply dropping a container in a driveway. Active jobsites require proper truck access, coordinated swap schedules, and staging plans for multiple dumpsters to keep demolition and construction phases moving without delays.
Site Access & Placement Requirements
Roll-off delivery trucks require approximately 60 feet of straight-line clearance and at least 14 feet of vertical clearance to safely place a construction dumpster. Watch carefully for overhead power lines, low tree branches, and utility obstructions in the delivery path. At approximately 21 feet long, a 30 yard construction dumpster frequently requires street placement on residential teardown projects.
Permits for Street Placement on Construction Sites
A Denver Public Works Right-of-Way permit may be required when a construction site dumpster is placed on a public street, alley, or right-of-way street. Permit costs vary depending on placement duration and location. Contact us for more details.
Swap-Outs, Extensions & Multi-Dumpster Jobsites
Large construction and demolition projects often require scheduled swap-outs instead of a single 7-day dumpster rental. Humpty Dump coordinates swap requests through a dedicated commercial contact so contractors can keep framing, demolition, and cleanup phases moving without downtime.
Multi-container staging is common on active jobsites, such as pairing a 20 yard dumpster for mixed construction debris, a 30 yard container for framing and drywall phases, and a dedicated 12 yard concrete dumpster for heavy material disposal. An additional rental week can be added for $75 (per container) during booking.
Fast Delivery for Construction Schedules
Same-day and next-day delivery is often available for many Greater Denver area construction dumpster rental requests when orders are placed early in the day. Construction schedules shift constantly because demolition phases finish early, inspections move timelines, and swap windows close quickly. As such, fast dumpster delivery matters on active jobsites.
Every quote request receives follow-up from a booking agent within the same business day. Even during our busiest months, we can typically get dumpsters out within a few days.
What Can You Put in a Construction Dumpster?
Construction roll-off dumpsters accept most standard construction and demolition debris, including framing lumber, drywall, siding, flooring, roofing material, packaging waste, and general construction debris. Hazardous materials, liquids, tires, batteries, electronics, asbestos, and refrigerant-containing appliances are prohibited in all containers.
Concrete, brick, dirt, sod, and asphalt cannot go into standard 10, 15, 20, or 30 yard construction dumpsters because heavy debris exceeds weight limits; those materials must go into a dedicated 12 yard concrete dumpster.
On demolition projects involving pre-1980 materials, contractors should arrange asbestos testing and disposal separately before scheduling dumpster delivery.
| Accepted in Standard Roll-Offs | Prohibited in All Containers |
|---|---|
| Framing lumber | Hazardous waste |
| Drywall and sheetrock | Paint and chemicals |
| Siding and trim | Liquids |
| Flooring and carpet | Tires |
| Furniture | Asbestos |
| Mixed C&D waste | Refrigerant-containing appliances |
| General construction debris | Batteries |
| Light demolition debris | Electronics |
Frequently Asked Questions
These FAQs answer common contractor and homeowner questions about construction dumpster rentals and demolition dumpster rentals in the Greater Denver area.
What do you call a construction dumpster?
A construction dumpster is most commonly called a roll-off dumpster or construction roll-off dumpster. The term “roll-off” refers to how the open-top container rolls off the delivery truck during placement. Contractors may also call them C&D dumpsters, debris boxes, or construction debris containers. Humpty Dump provides 10, 15, 20, and 30 yard construction roll-off dumpsters, plus specialized 12 yard concrete dumpsters for heavy debris disposal.
How much does it cost to rent a construction dumpster in Denver?
Our construction dumpster rentals in Denver cost between $339 and $414 per week for standard 10, 15, 20, and 30 yard roll-off dumpsters. Humpty Dump’s transparent weekly pricing starts at $339/week for a 10 yard dumpster and $414/week for a 30 yard dumpster. The 12 yard concrete dumpster rental for heavy materials also starts at $414/week. Delivery, fuel, environmental, and pickup fees are included in all standard rental pricing.
What size dumpster do I need for a construction project?
The right construction dumpster size depends on both debris volume and material weight. A 10 yard dumpster works well for small demolition and single-room projects, while a 15 or 20 yard dumpster fits most remodeling and mid-scale demolition jobs. Large additions and whole-home teardowns typically require a 30 yard construction dumpster. Concrete, brick, dirt, and sod should always go into a dedicated 12 yard concrete dumpster because heavy debris exceeds standard container weight limits.
Can you put concrete in a construction dumpster?
Concrete should not be placed in a standard 10, 15, 20, or 30 yard construction dumpster because the material exceeds normal weight limits and can cause significant overage fees or rejected loads. Humpty Dump’s 12 yard concrete dumpster is specifically designed for concrete, brick, dirt, and heavy demolition debris. Clean concrete loads with concrete and rebar only can be filled to the designated fill line without a weight limit.
