Boulder dumpster planning notes
What Boulder's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
Before 1980 is when 55% of Boulder's homes went up. Gutting an older kitchen or bath usually means plaster walls, old tile and heavy fixtures, so a 15 or 20 yard with the right weight allowance is safer than the smallest size.

In Boulder, 43% of homes are in buildings of five or more units. For apartments and condos, plan the spot early: a lot space approved by management, or street placement with a permit.

Street placement is where permits come in. A dumpster on your own driveway or lot usually needs none, but one on a Boulder, CO street, sidewalk or alley falls under local right-of-way rules. The official page:
- Right-of-Way Permits | City of Boulder (City of Boulder, link checked 2026-10-13)
We link to the official page and don't summarize its rules, which can change. See also our dumpster permit guide.
Choosing a dumpster size in Boulder
Where space is tight, as in much of Boulder, a 10 or 15 yard container is easier to place in a lot or on the street. Whole-house cleanouts and big remodels still call for a 20.
Compare sizes: 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, 40 yard, or read what size dumpster you need.
What Boulder customers rent dumpsters for
Construction
For Boulder construction jobs, size by debris: bulky framing and drywall waste suits a 30 or 40, heavy masonry a 10 or 20.
Home cleanouts
Clearing out a Boulder home? Furniture and boxes are bulky but light, so volume decides: a 10 or 15 for a garage, a 20 or 30 for a whole house.
Commercial
Property managers in Boulder's many multi-unit buildings use roll-offs for turnovers and renovations; placement in a lot needs the owner's OK.
Crews in Boulder often need a toilet on site as well: we book job-site porta potties with the dumpster.
