Yes, but space and clearance depend on the size of the dumpster:

• 15-yard dumpster: Requires a driveway at least 18 feet long and 10 feet wide

• 30- or 40-yard dumpster: Requires 25 feet long by 10 feet wide

Additional space needed for delivery:

• 60 feet of linear clearance for the roll-off truck to maneuver

• 14–18 feet of vertical clearance, depending on the dumpster size

⚠️ Make sure the drop area is clear of tree branches, power lines, and overhead obstructions.

Important: Dumpsters cannot block sidewalks or streets under local regulations.

In some areas, yes — but it depends on local rules.

Before scheduling delivery, you should contact your municipality or HOA to confirm whether street placement is allowed and whether a permit is required. Regulations vary by city and neighborhood, especially for placing dumpsters in public rights-of-way.

Roll-off truck clearance requirements:

• 60 feet of linear space for loading/unloading

• 14 to 18 feet of vertical clearance depending on the dumpster size

• The area must be free of power lines, tree limbs, or other overhead obstacles

⚠️ Keep in mind: Dumpsters cannot obstruct sidewalks or traffic lanes.

We recommend placing your order as early as possible to ensure we have your preferred dumpster size available. In most cases, we can deliver within one business day — but delivery times can vary depending on availability and scheduling.

For weekend or holiday requests, please allow additional time for processing and logistics.

If you’re working on a tight timeline, give us a call at 303-339-0293 and we’ll do our best to get a dumpster out to you as quickly as possible.

Yes — every dumpster we deliver includes a built-in 8-foot swinging door for easier loading. The door can be opened partially or fully depending on your space.

To fully open the door, you’ll need approximately 8 feet of clearance in addition to the dumpster’s footprint. Please plan ahead to ensure there’s enough room on-site.

🚫 Also keep in mind: dumpsters cannot block sidewalks or streets, per city regulations.

In some cases, yes. Dumpster permits are required in certain cities across the Denver Metro Area, especially if the dumpster will be placed on public property (like a street or sidewalk).

Each city has its own rules:

• Some cities require the customer to obtain the permit

• Others require the dumpster company to file on your behalf

That’s why it’s important to check permit requirements before you rent. Affordable Roll-Offs is happy to assist residential customers in Denver with the permit process.

No — you don’t need to be present for delivery, whether the dumpster is going to a residence, job site, or commercial property. Just provide clear placement instructions when placing your order, and our driver will handle the rest.

✅ Once your order is submitted, you’ll receive a confirmation email.

📩 All communication is handled digitally via email, so there’s no need for on-site interaction.

💡 Bonus Tip: Want to make sure your dumpster ends up exactly where you want it?

Place a cone, marker, or visible object in the drop location — it makes it easier for our driver to deliver with precision.

Unfortunately, no — we do not accept rock, dirt, brick, sod, or concrete in our dumpsters. These materials are extremely heavy and exceed the allowable weight limits for our roll-off containers.

For guidance on how to dispose of heavy debris properly, please contact your local landfill or construction recycling center—or give us a call and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Most driveways that meet building code standards can handle the weight of a roll-off dumpster and delivery truck. At Affordable Roll-Offs, our experienced drivers take every precaution to protect your property during delivery and pickup.

However, in rare cases, surface damage may occur due to:

• Weak or deteriorating concrete/asphalt

• Insufficient clearance

• Uneven or soft ground

• Low-hanging branches or obstacles

For best results:

• Leave ample clearance (see our FAQ: “Will a dumpster fit in my driveway?”)

• Avoid placing dumpsters on fresh concrete, decorative stone, or soft ground

• Use plywood or boards under the wheels as a buffer

📌 Please Note: Affordable Roll-Offs is not financially liable for damage caused by normal dumpster operation.
