20-Yard Dumpster Rental Denver

The 20-yard container measures roughly 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4 feet tall, and holds about 8 pickup-truck loads. That capacity makes it the middle rung of the size range: it sits above the 10-yard ($595) and 15-yard ($650), and below the 30-yard ($795) and 40-yard ($895). A 20-yard fits a full kitchen-and-bath remodel, a two-room flooring tear-out, a garage or basement cleanout, or a mid-size estate clearing in Capitol Hill or Park Hill. If the job is a single small bathroom, the 10-yard is enough; if it's a roof tear-off or a whole-house gut, step up to the 30-yard so the debris doesn't overflow the fill line.

Denver's older neighborhoods drive the placement question more than the price. Baker and Capitol Hill lots often have narrow shared driveways and detached rear garages off the alley, where a 20-yard can usually be set in the alley or curbside instead of blocking the drive. In Washington Park and Cherry Creek, wider driveways typically take the container directly, and boards are laid under the wheels to protect the concrete. On a public street in Highlands, Berkeley, Sloan's Lake, or Five Points, a City of Denver right-of-way permit is required before the container touches pavement; on a private driveway it is not.

The flat $695 is the whole price for a standard rental period, the debris is weighed and disposed of, and no per-ton fee is tacked on afterward. This matters because many roll-off quotes advertise a low base and then add a $50-plus-per-ton dump charge, so the real total lands far higher than the headline. A dumpster rental is not junk removal: the container is dropped, the customer loads it, and it's hauled once it's ready. Fill debris level with the top rail, heaped loads above the rail can't be legally hauled and get leveled before pickup.

How it works is four steps. First, call (720) 912-3015 and describe the project. Second, confirm the 20-yard fits the debris and pick a driveway, alley, or permitted street spot. Third, the container is dropped, often same-day or next-day. Fourth, load it, then call for pickup and the $695 is done, no back-end math.
