Aurora dumpster rental FAQ

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Aurora, CO?

Not on your own driveway. Aurora doesn't publish a rule specifically for dumpsters on the street, so before placing one on a street or sidewalk, ask Aurora Public Works at (303) 739-7420 whether a right-of-way permit is needed. Cities that publish a rule generally require one. HOA rules may also apply.

How much does a dumpster rental cost in Aurora?

Estimated 2026 prices in Aurora run about $615 for a 10-yard to $805 for a 40-yard for a 7-day rental with base weight included. Your hauler sets the final price.

Where does trash from Aurora dumpsters go?

Much of the mixed debris from Aurora goes to Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site (DADS), 3500 S Gun Club Rd, Aurora, CO 80018, operated by WM. Haulers may route loads through transfer stations or recycling facilities first.

What can't I put in a dumpster in Aurora?

Most haulers bar hazardous waste, liquid paint and solvents, tires, batteries, appliances with refrigerant, asbestos, medical waste, and liquids, and many also bar electronics. Ask your hauler for their full prohibited-items list and any fees for special materials, or check our list of what can go in a dumpster.

How long can I keep a rental dumpster in Aurora?

Many haulers include about a week in the base price and charge a daily fee after that, so ask for the extra-day rate when you compare quotes. If the dumpster is on the street under a permit, the permit's end date is the limit.
