A 10 yard roll off works for a bathroom gut job, a 20 yard handles a full kitchen or roof tear-off, and a 30 or 40 yard covers new construction and whole-house cleanouts. Thornton Porta Pros prices standard dumpster rental from 51 dollars a day up to 500 dollars a month depending on size and term.
Daily rates run 51 to 112 dollars, weekly rentals land between 426 and 778 dollars, and monthly terms range from 91 to 500 dollars depending on size and how long the container sits on site. A weekend rental typically falls between 390 and 497 dollars, which suits a one-day cleanup or a Saturday garage purge better than paying for a full week. If you are still deciding between a short pull and a longer job, the dumpster rental cost page breaks down what drives the number up. Most Thornton customers renting for home projects land in the daily or weekend bracket, while contractors on multi-week jobs book the weekly or monthly rate. Check the table below before you call, since price scales fast with duration, not just size.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | 51 | 75 | 112 |
| week | 426 | 600 | 778 |
| weekend | 390 | 440 | 497 |
| month | 91 | 108 | 500 |
A delivery fee applies separately, generally 100 to 500 dollars for a single-day drop and pickup, or 50 to 150 dollars if it is folded into a weekly rate. Ask about this before booking, since it is not always bundled into the sticker price you see online.
A 10 yard roll off dumpster fits a bathroom remodel or small garage cleanout. A 20 yard dumpster rental handles roofing debris, flooring tear-out, or a mid-size kitchen renovation. A 30 yard suits new home construction and large additions, and a 40 yard is built for commercial demolition and whole-house gut jobs. See dumpster sizes and dimensions for a full breakdown of each container's footprint.
The 10 yard dumpster rental is the smallest option most companies stock and works well for single-room projects. Step up to the 20 yard dumpster rental if you are clearing out a garage plus a yard, or tearing off shingles on a typical Thornton roof. Bigger jobs call for the 30 yard dumpster rental, which handles framing lumber and drywall from an addition. The 40 yard dumpster rental is reserved for large-scale demolition, commercial buildouts, and construction sites generating heavy daily debris. If you are unsure which size fits your project, describe the job when you request a quote and let the dispatcher size it for you.
A dumpster placed in a driveway usually needs no city approval, but placement in the public right of way, on a street, or blocking a sidewalk needs confirming with the City of Thornton before delivery. Placement rules vary by property type and street classification, so do not assume a driveway rule applies to a curb spot. The dumpster permit requirements page covers what to check before the truck shows up. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to angle the container off the bed, so measure your driveway or alley before scheduling. If your property backs onto a narrow alley or a shared drive, mention that when you request a quote so dispatch can plan the approach. For active job sites, pair the dumpster with broader construction site services planning so placement, portable toilets, and fencing do not compete for the same space.
Paint, solvents, batteries, tires, and most hazardous or flammable materials cannot go in a standard roll-off dumpster rental. Neither can appliances with refrigerant, unless you have arranged special handling in advance. Full details live on the what cannot go in a dumpster page, and it is worth reading before you start loading, since a banned item found during pickup can delay the whole haul. OSHA 1926.25 requires that scrap and debris be cleared from active work areas, which is one more reason contractors keep a dumpster staged close to the work rather than across the lot. If your project involves clearing chutes or enclosed disposal points, OSHA 1926.252 covers how waste materials should move from the structure to the container. Keep the dumpster loaded flat rather than mounded above the rim, since overfilled loads get flagged at the landfill and can trigger extra charges.
Every roll-off size carries its own weight cap, and going over it adds a per-ton overage charge on top of the base rental price. Heavy materials like shingles, concrete, and dirt fill the weight limit long before they fill the container's volume, so a 20 yard dumpster loaded with roofing tear-off can hit its cap while still looking half empty. The dumpster weight limits page lists caps by size so you are not guessing. Mixed construction debris, old furniture, and yard waste weigh less per cubic yard, so those loads usually fill the container before they approach the weight ceiling. If you are not sure which category your job falls into, describe the material type when you book and the dispatcher can flag the right size before delivery instead of after an overage bill.
Yes, and construction sites are the most common use for a 20 yard or 30 yard roll off dumpster rental. Job sites generating daily framing, drywall, and packaging waste need a container that gets swapped or emptied on a schedule matching the pace of work. Pair the dumpster with the construction dumpster rental option built around job site turnover, and coordinate delivery with your broader construction site services plan so the container does not block equipment staging. Active sites also fall under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), which sets toilet ratios for workers on site: one facility for 20 workers or fewer, scaling up from there. If your crew needs restrooms alongside the dumpster, the portable toilet rental and standard porta potty rental pages cover that side of the job. GFCI protection under OSHA 1926.404(b)(1)(ii) and adequate lighting under OSHA 1926.56(a) round out the site safety basics worth checking before work starts.
Call or book online and most Thornton deliveries go out same day or next day depending on size availability and your street's access. Thornton Porta Pros services Thornton directly and also delivers to nearby communities: Northglenn sits 3.0 miles west, Broomfield is 8.6 miles west, Brighton is 11.3 miles east, Erie is 14.7 miles northwest, and Arvada is 18.2 miles southwest. If your project sits in one of those towns, check the service areas page for full coverage details, or go straight to a city page like porta potty rental in Northglenn, porta potty rental in Broomfield, porta potty rental in Brighton, porta potty rental in Erie, or porta potty rental in Arvada if you need portable sanitation delivered alongside the dumpster.

A local roll-off provider like Thornton Porta Pros typically delivers faster and adjusts to short-notice bookings better than a national waste management roll off dumpster rental account built around long-term commercial contracts. National haulers make sense for ongoing multi-site accounts, but for a single home project or a short-term construction job, a local dispatcher who knows Thornton's streets and driveway access tends to move quicker. If you are running a larger operation needing dumpsters, fencing, and storage together, look at storage container rental and temporary fence rental as companion rentals that pair naturally with a roll-off on an active site. For ongoing sanitation needs beyond the dumpster itself, the portable restroom rental and handwashing station rental pages round out a full site setup. Whatever the scale, start with a request a quote call so you get an accurate price instead of a generic online estimate.
Standard dumpster rates run 51 to 112 dollars a day and 426 to 778 dollars a week; a 20 yard typically sits mid-range within that band. Exact pricing depends on debris type and rental length. See dumpster rental cost for the full breakdown by size and term.
A 10 yard suits small cleanouts like a single room or garage. A 20 yard doubles that capacity and handles roofing tear-off or a kitchen remodel. Compare both on the dumpster sizes and dimensions page before booking.
Driveway placement usually needs no permit, but street or right-of-way placement needs confirming with the City of Thornton first. Rules depend on where the container sits. Check dumpster permit requirements before scheduling delivery to avoid a delay.
A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to safely angle the container off the bed. Measure your driveway or alley beforehand. Tight urban lots sometimes need an alternate placement discussed at booking.
Paint, solvents, batteries, tires, and most hazardous materials are banned from standard roll-off loads. Appliances with refrigerant need special handling arranged in advance. Full detail sits on what cannot go in a dumpster.
Exceeding the weight cap adds a per-ton overage charge on top of the base rental price. Heavy debris like shingles or concrete hits the cap fast. See dumpster weight limits for caps by container size.
Street placement needs confirming with the City of Thornton, since right-of-way rules are stricter than driveway placement. Do not assume approval without checking first. The dumpster permit requirements page covers what to ask about.
