Do I need a permit for a dump trailer in Denver?

Generally not if it's on private property or a driveway — that's a big part of why people choose a trailer over a roll-off container, which usually does need a right-of-way permit when it sits in the street. Check with Denver Public Works for your specific block, because rules differ by district and we can't advise on your address.

Will it fit in a Denver alley?

A 7×14 dump trailer with a 3/4-ton in front of it is roughly 40 feet of combination. Most Denver alleys are tight but workable if you can pull straight through rather than back in. Tell us the cross streets when you book and we'll tell you honestly whether we think it'll work — and if we deliver, we'll scout it.

We run into Denver constantly from our Thornton yard — it's about a 20-minute drive down I-25 or Washington, and delivery into north and central Denver lands in our $75 to $110 range.

The jobs are different here than in the suburbs. Denver work is infill: scrape-and-builds in Berkeley and Sunnyside, basement digs in Park Hill, alley-access demolition in Elyria-Swansea and Globeville, garage teardowns in Baker and Highland. Narrow lots, tight alleys, cars parked everywhere, and often no good place to put a roll-off container for a week.

That's the real case for a dump trailer over a dumpster in Denver: you load it, you haul it, it's gone the same day. No permit for a container in the right-of-way, no neighbor complaints, no waiting for a pickup that comes Thursday.

What people in Denver use it for

Scrape-and-build site cleanup
Alley-access demolition debris
Basement and crawlspace dig-out spoils
Garage teardown
Landscape material into a narrow back yard
Rental turnover and eviction cleanouts
