For facilities, procurement, and project managers with sites in Colorado. You get the network, the deliveries, and the state rules that change the buy.

How we work in Colorado
Local haulers do the work; we hold the contract, own the problems, and send one bill. One agreement can hold roll-off dumpsters, portable toilets, and restroom trailers for every Colorado site. If you’re weighing us against a single hauler, here’s how a broker, a hauler, and our provider network differ.

The network
The network in Colorado
At Colorado job sites, October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026 · Published figure
Figures are counts of completed deliveries, providers, and accounts in this window from our records, as of October 2026. Roll-off deliveries are containers delivered. Portable toilet deliveries are units placed, not orders. A company that completed both services is counted in both service rows, so those rows are not a split of the provider total. The counts are not a promise that every address is covered. Front-load service, compactors, and balers are not in these counts.
State rules
Colorado rules a buyer should know
What follows is a buyer’s summary of the Colorado rules that change the buy. It is not legal advice, so check the current text and the site’s local ordinance before you rely on it.
Where construction debris can go
Colorado’s solid waste rules, 6 CCR 1007-2 Part 1, define construction and demolition debris as waste generated from construction, remodeling, repairs, or demolition of buildings, pavements, and other structures. That includes lumber, bricks, carpets, ceramics, sheetrock, metals, drywall, window glass, metal and plastic piping, paint, and other non-hazardous materials from construction and demolition work. In Denver, the Universal Recycling and Composting Ordinance page says new applications for qualifying construction or demolition work submitted on or after September 1, 2026 need a Waste Diversion Plan and a deposit, and must meet the debris diversion requirements on that page. A landfill’s permit can be narrower than the rule. Confirm acceptance with the facility before the haul.
Who may service a portable toilet
Colorado’s on-site wastewater regulation, 5 CCR 1002-43, says the local public health agency, or another agency with authority, may issue a permit for a portable chemical toilet but is not required to. Using a portable chemical toilet in a permanently occupied building is prohibited except during construction or an emergency. The same regulation lets a local board of health license systems cleaners, so pumper licensing is set locally. In Denver, the waste hauler licensing page says every solid waste hauler collecting in the City and County of Denver, including construction and demolition haulers, must hold a license.
A container on a public street
Denver’s dumpster and container information sheet says a Right-of-Way Revocable Street Occupancy Permit is required before any container is placed in the right-of-way, and the dumpster or container company placing it must obtain it. The company needs a ROW Dumpster License number first. Allow 5 business days. The container goes in a parking lane at least 20 feet from any corner, alley, or entrance, and it can stay in the right-of-way up to 180 days in a 12-month period. Other Colorado cities set their own rules.
Public disposal cost
Colorado’s solid waste user fee is collected at disposal sites. From July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 it’s $3.87 per ton or $1.16 per cubic yard in Front Range counties, and $1.74 per ton or $0.52 per cubic yard elsewhere. That’s a state fee on disposal, not a customer price. More on disposal fees is in the landfill tipping fees guide.
