Dumpster Rental in Kelim, CO — Delivered Fast, Priced Flat

Most of the time, same day if you call before nine, and next morning otherwise. We run our own trucks out of 832 Kelim Frontage Rd, straight onto the I-25 frontage, so we are not waiting on a dispatcher in another state. The predictable rushes here are worth planning around, and they are not the ones a Southeastern calendar would predict. Hail is the big one — northeastern Colorado averages seven to nine hail days a year, and a single storm can put a whole subdivision of roofs into replacement inside a fortnight. Spring starts late: the average last frost at Greeley is 12 May, so yard work, landscaping and outdoor demolition all bunch into May rather than March. Winter takes days out of the routing rather than out of the calendar, because snow and ice on a sloping driveway changes where a box can safely be set and pulled. And in a town that issued 528 single-family permits in 2025, construction cleanup runs all year. Drive time matters more than the address: a run down to Erie or Longmont at the far southwest end is a different morning from a set on the frontage road. If you know your dates, book ahead and we will hold the slot.

Delivery, pickup, an agreed rental period and a set tonnage allowance with disposal included. No fuel surcharge, no environmental fee, no admin fee. The only way the number changes is if you go over the weight allowance or keep the container longer than agreed, and we tell you both limits before we deliver.

No. Plenty of our customers text us a photo of where they want it and go to work. All we need is clear access, a spot free of cars and low branches, and permission to be on the property. If the only way in is a narrow drive, a long approach down to a basement walkout, a gravel pad, or a turn tight enough that the truck has to swing wide, tell us when you book and we will schedule accordingly. Mention anything soft underfoot in particular — irrigated ground, a spring thaw and soft gravel will each hold a loaded truck for about as long as it takes to regret it. If the property is on its own well and septic, tell us where the tank, the drain field and the well head are so the box does not go over any of them. If it is in a homeowners association, say so on the first call, because the association rules govern placement there and it is easier squared away before we roll than after. And say so if the building is empty — on an unattended job the risk here is wind rather than rain, so we will talk you through keeping the load below the rails where it can be tarped and weighted.

We put protection boards under the wheels and rails on every residential delivery, which spreads the load instead of concentrating it on four small contact patches. We will not tell you what the ground does at depth under your slab — that is a geotechnical question, nobody has surveyed your driveway, and anyone answering it off a website is guessing. What we deal with is the surface, and the surface here has three states. Dry, and it carries a loaded container as well as anything in the country. Soft — after irrigation, after a spring thaw, after one of the cloudbursts that deliver much of the year’s water in a few days — and several tons on four small contact points will cut in and stay cut in. Frozen, and it carries fine right up until it does not. A loaded 20 yard container is several tons; the driveway is the right answer and the lawn is not. We photograph the existing condition on delivery either way. Older or hairline-cracked concrete gets extra boards, and so does newer flatwork, which settles under a point load rather than scuffing. On a gravel pad we are fine while it is dry, but for a day or two after heavy water we would rather come back than cut ruts into it. Our placement guide explains it fully.

On your own driveway or your own property, no right-of-way permit is in play at all, and that covers the overwhelming majority of the containers we set. What changes the answer is public ground, and then the address decides the desk. Inside the Town of Johnstown, § 7-35 of the municipal code provides that “no person shall place, store or maintain a dumpster on any public property unless expressly authorized in writing by the Town,” and placement in violation “is considered a nuisance.” Any work in the public right-of-way needs a Town right-of-way permit under § 11-23, and the fee for it is set by resolution of the Town Council under § 11-25 — it lives in the fee schedule, we could not verify it, so we do not publish a number. Call the Town at 970-587-4664 before delivery rather than after. On a county road the county line decides. Weld County Public Works, (970) 400-4000, permits construction activity and occupation within county rights-of-way, but its published material does not name dumpsters, so we do not claim it covers them — the language is broad and a call is warranted. Larimer County Engineering, (970) 498-5709, issues right-of-way and access permits whose published material does not address containers at all, so we claim nothing in either direction there either. And Johnstown’s rules are Johnstown’s. Berthoud, Windsor, Milliken, Mead, Greeley, Evans and the rest each run their own counter, and we have not verified what any of them require of a container — ask the town, and we will tell you which town you are in. On the fire side, the Town of Johnstown’s building regulations adopt the 2024 International Fire Code. Its § 304.3.5 keeps a dumpster of 1.5 cubic yards or more, and § 304.3.4 a dumpster of 1.0 cubic yard or more that is not of noncombustible construction, five feet clear of combustible walls, openings and combustible roof eave lines. Every roll-off we run is far over both, so the answer is stable: five feet, always. Note that Weld County enforces no fire code of its own — its ordinance says the International Fire Code applies only when adopted by a local fire district — so on unincorporated ground that question goes to the district, which for the Johnstown and Milliken area is Front Range Fire Rescue on 970-587-4464. Before anything gets dug, call Colorado 811 on 811 or 800-922-1987: C.R.S. Title 9, Article 1.5 sets notice at no less than two business days, not counting the day of notice, Colorado 811 advises allowing three, and you white-line the dig area first. Requirements and fees change, so confirm with the desk before you book — or read our permit and placement guide.

Wet paint, solvents, adhesives, motor oil, fuel, tar, pesticides, pool chemicals, automotive fluids, asbestos-containing material, propane and other pressurized cylinders, batteries, medical waste and refrigerant appliances. Three Colorado rules are worth knowing by name, and two of them run the opposite way from the Southeast. Electronics are banned from Colorado landfills outright, and have been since 1 July 2013 under C.R.S. § 25-17-303 — televisions, monitors, computers and the rest need a recycler, and Weld County’s household hazardous waste sites do not take them either. Waste tires are restricted under 6 CCR 1007-2, Section 10, no person may transport ten or more without CDPHE registration, and the landfills serving this corridor refuse them at the gate regardless. Tires never ride with us. And yard waste is not banned in Colorado — there is no statewide landfill ban, and the local landfills publish yard waste and tree branches among accepted materials — so if you have read elsewhere that brush cannot go in a container, that rule belongs to another state. We still run it as a clean separate load, because composting is close by and cheaper, not because a statute says so. Batteries, liquids, hazardous material and refrigerant appliances go to Weld County household hazardous waste on (970) 400-2217 if you are a Weld resident, and to Larimer County’s Central Diversion and Transfer Station on (970) 498-5772 if your address is on the Larimer side, as a Kelim address is. Asbestos never rides with us either: in Colorado that is an air quality matter under CDPHE Regulation 8, Part B, with a 32 square foot or 50 linear foot trigger in a single-family home, a certified inspection first, ten working days’ notice, and notification required for any demolition regardless of size; the number is 720-507-5136. Everything else on a normal cleanout or renovation is fine. Rules do change, so ask us before it goes in.
