-
⚠️ FINE / REJECTION TRIGGER
Street ROW & Overage Trigger: Placing a roll-off dumpster in any Denver public street, alley, or right-of-way requires a DOTI Street Occupancy Permit submitted online via E-Permits along with a DOTI Street Occupancy Request Worksheet and a Traffic Control Plan (TCP). Allow 5 business days for local residential streets (10 days for collectors/arterials; Cherry Creek North requires attending the CCN BID coordination meeting). Unpermitted ROW occupancy carries a $500 non-compliance fine. Landfill scale rate: DADS Landfill commercial/self-haul gate rate ~$55–$85/ton; Cherry Creek Recycling & Compost Drop-Off is free for Denver residents (recycling & compost only, no landfill trash or C&D).

Denver County Landfill Tipping Fees & Per-Ton Overage Rules for Denver Dumpsters
Primary Disposal Facility: Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site (DADS Landfill) & Cherry Creek Recycling and Compost Drop-Off (DADS Landfill: 3500 S Gun Club Rd, Aurora, CO 80018 | Cherry Creek Drop-Off: 7400 Cherry Creek S Dr (near 7301 E Jewell Ave), Denver, CO 80231) [2]
- Official Landfill / Transfer Station Rate: DADS Landfill commercial/self-haul gate rate ~$55–$85/ton; Cherry Creek Recycling & Compost Drop-Off is free for Denver residents (recycling & compost only, no landfill trash or C&D) [2]
- Typical Private Roll-Off Overage Rate: $65 to $85 per ton above your container’s included weight limit
- Most City and County of Denver municipal and private roll-off waste is hauled to the Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site (DADS Landfill at 3500 S Gun Club Rd, Aurora, CO 80018), operated in partnership with Waste Management.
- Denver DOTI’s Large Item Pickup (LIP) collects up to 5 household furniture items and 10 bags on your scheduled cycle, but strictly prohibits construction materials (concrete, brick, drywall, lumber, fencing, pallets) and appliances.
- Under Colorado’s Electronic Recycling Jobs Act (SB 12-133), televisions, computers, and monitors are banned from landfill disposal and cannot be placed inside roll-off dumpsters.
How Tonnage Overages Work: Denver roll-off quotes include 2 to 4 tons of disposal weight. Exceeding your tonnage cap with heavy Front Range hail-damaged asphalt shingles, brick, or plaster triggers overage charges of $65–$85/ton.
Denver, CO Street Permit Rules, Right-of-Way Regulations & HOA Driveway Guidelines
Municipal Permit Authority: City and County of Denver Department of Transportation & Infrastructure (DOTI) — Right-of-Way Services (Street Occupancy Permits) [3]
- Private Driveway Placement (No City Permit Needed): No Denver DOTI permit is required when your roll-off container fits 100% on your private driveway or private parking pad off the alley without encroaching into the public alley, sidewalk, or street.
- Public Street / Right-of-Way Permit Requirements: Placing a roll-off dumpster in any Denver public street, alley, or right-of-way requires a DOTI Street Occupancy Permit submitted online via E-Permits along with a DOTI Street Occupancy Request Worksheet and a Traffic Control Plan (TCP). Allow 5 business days for local residential streets (10 days for collectors/arterials; Cherry Creek North requires attending the CCN BID coordination meeting). Unpermitted ROW occupancy carries a $500 non-compliance fine.
- Local HOA & Subdivision Restrictions in Denver: HOAs in Central Park (Stapleton), Green Valley Ranch, Lowry, and Cherry Creek North enforce strict street/alley staging rules and limit private pad containers to 7–14 days.
- Driveway Protection & Delivery Clearance Tips: Many historic Denver neighborhoods (Wash Park, Highlands, Capitol Hill, Baker) have narrow 12- to 16-foot rear alleys where roll-off trucks cannot make a 90-degree turn onto a short garage apron. If you lack a long driveway and want to avoid DOTI’s 5-day Street Occupancy Permit + TCP process, book a full-service junk hauling crew instead.
Items Prohibited in Denver Roll-Off Dumpsters (Where to Dispose of Them Instead)
Because every roll-off load in Denver is inspected at Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site (DADS Landfill) & Cherry Creek Recycling and Compost Drop-Off under state and municipal solid-waste rules [2], haulers strictly prohibit or surcharge the following items inside a mixed roll-off container:
- Construction Materials & Appliances in Denver Large Item Pickup (LIP): Denver Solid Waste LIP explicitly rejects construction debris (concrete, bricks, drywall, fencing, pallets) and all appliances—requiring a roll-off dumpster or private appliance/junk hauler.
- Electronics & TVs (Banned by Colorado State Law SB 12-133): Illegal to place in Colorado landfills or roll-off containers; use certified Denver e-waste recyclers or book LoadUp in-home TV removal.
- Unwrapped Mattresses, Tires & Hazardous Waste: Mattresses require special handling fees at DADS Landfill (and must be wrapped in plastic for LIP); tires, paint, and chemicals are banned from roll-offs.
