Dumpster Rental in Erie, Colorado
Roll-off dumpster rental for remodels, roofing tear-offs, cleanouts, and new-home landscaping across Erie and the Boulder-Weld county line.
Roll Off Dumpster Rental in Erie: What to Know
Erie straddles the Boulder and Weld County line north of Lafayette and east of Boulder. Old Town Erie sits along Briggs Street with older homes. Most of the town is newer subdivisions such as Vista Ridge, Erie Village, Colliers Hill, and Erie Highlands. That mix produces basement finishes, landscaping jobs, hail-season roofing, and move-in and move-out cleanouts. Most residential jobs fit a 10, 15, or 20-yard container.
Erie keeps street dumpsters simple. A free Town permit covers the temporary placement of a dumpster, storage container, landscape material, or roll-off on a street, alley, or other public right-of-way. Submit it to the Town Clerk at least 5 days ahead. Permits run up to 60 days and can be extended another 60 days if approved before the first one expires. Municipal Code 6-12-7 bars containers on sidewalks or anywhere that blocks traffic or pedestrians. No permit is needed on a private driveway.
Rolloff Dumpster Finder helps Erie homeowners and contractors compare roll-off options across east Boulder County and southwest Weld County. Availability depends on which providers cover your address. When you request quotes, give the address, the project type, driveway length, and any HOA rules. Ask each provider for the included weight allowance, overage rate per ton, rental period, and daily extension fee. Erie warns that HOA rules can be stricter than the Town permit, so check the HOA timeline too.
How Is a Dumpster Rental Priced in Erie?
Pricing depends on container size, debris type, weight, rental period, delivery location, and landfill disposal fees. When you compare Erie quotes, check the included days and tons, not just the headline number.

What Size Dumpster Do You Need?
For many Erie homeowners, a 20-yard dumpster covers most remodels, roofing jobs, and whole-home cleanouts without being oversized. Here is the full breakdown by container size.
10 Yard
~3 pickup truck loads
- Small garage or room cleanout
- Minor bathroom remodel
- Small roofing job
- Yard debris cleanup
The smallest standard container. Right for focused, single-space jobs.
15 Yard
~4.5 pickup truck loads
- Bathroom remodel
- Medium cleanout
- Deck removal (small)
- Landscaping debris
A good middle option when a 10-yard feels tight but a 20-yard seems excessive.
20 Yard
~6 pickup truck loads
- Kitchen or basement remodel
- Full roof tear-off
- Whole-home cleanout
- Deck removal (large)
The most-booked size. Handles most remodels, roofing jobs, and full-home cleanouts comfortably.
30 Yard
~9 pickup truck loads
- Large renovation
- Estate cleanout
- New construction cleanup
- Mixed C&D debris
Step up to a 30-yard when the job is big or when you want buffer room to avoid a second pull.
40 Yard
~12 pickup truck loads
- Major construction project
- Commercial renovation
- Large demolition
- Multi-unit cleanout

Common Erie Dumpster Rental Projects
From older neighborhood renovations to new construction debris, here are the project types we most commonly help Erie-area customers with.
Basement Finishes
Many Erie homes are newer builds with unfinished basements. Finishing one produces drywall scraps, framing offcuts, and packaging. A 15 or 20-yard covers most single-basement jobs.
New-Home Landscaping
Sod removal, rock, and soil from yard projects are heavy. Use a 10-yard or a heavy-debris container for dirt and rock. Keep green waste separate if the provider prices it differently.
Roofing Tear-Offs
Erie sits in the Front Range hail belt. A 20-yard holds most residential tear-offs by volume. Weight matters more. Confirm the included tonnage before the crew starts loading.
Kitchen & Bath Remodels
Cabinets are bulky. Tile and cast iron are heavy. A 15-yard covers most single-kitchen jobs. Step up to a 20-yard if a bathroom is part of the same project.
Home Cleanouts
Getting a house ready to list usually produces more debris than expected. A full-home cleanout typically fills a 20-yard. Price one larger container against a second haul before booking.
Basement & Garage Cleanouts
A typical garage cleanout fits in a 10-yard. A full basement with furniture and boxes often needs a 15 or 20-yard. Keep chemicals out of the load.
Yard Waste & Landscaping
Fence rebuilds, shrub removal, and sod changes fill a container fast. Branches are light. Soil and rock are not. Ask if clean yard waste prices differently from mixed loads.
Flooring Removal
Carpet and pad are light. Tile, stone, and hardwood with underlayment add weight fast. A 10-yard handles a few rooms of carpet. Whole-house tile often needs a 15-yard with a clear weight allowance.
Construction Debris
Additions and rebuilds produce framing scraps, drywall, and packaging. A 20 or 30-yard is common for a single-home project. Flag tight streets and HOA rules when you book.
Dumpster Placement in Erie: Driveways, Alleys & Street Access
Dumpster placement in Erie depends on your driveway, HOA rules, and a free Town permit for street placement filed at least 5 days ahead.
- 1
Driveway placement on private property does not need a Town permit.
- 2
A free Dumpster, Storage Container, Landscape Material, or Roll-Off Permit covers temporary placement on a street, alley, or other public right-of-way. Submit it to the Town Clerk at least 5 days before placement. Applications are evaluated case by case.
- 3
Permits run up to 60 days and can be extended an additional 60 days if requested and approved before the earlier permit expires.
- 4
Municipal Code 6-12-7 bars any dumpster or similar container on a sidewalk or placed so it blocks traffic or pedestrians or creates a safety hazard.
- 5
An HOA may set stricter rules and removal deadlines than the Town permit. The Town says HOA timelines still apply even when they differ from permit dates.
- 6
Measure driveway length and width. Newer subdivisions often have shorter driveways and tighter cul-de-sacs than they look on a map.
- 7
When in doubt, confirm placement requirements with the Town of Erie and your rental provider before scheduling delivery.
