Contractor service / C&D containers
Construction dumpster rental in Colorado Springs.
Roll-offs for tear-offs, demolition, and build-out debris — sized to the material, with weight terms and drop plans set before the crew shows up.
01 / C&D LOADS
Boxes that match the material.
Construction debris is not one load — it is a weight problem and a volume problem sharing a jobsite.
What rides in a C&D container
Framing lumber, sheathing, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, doors and windows, siding, roofing, and general site debris all load as mixed C&D. The split that matters is density: bulky, light material fills a 30-yard box without touching the weight allowance, while concrete, block, tile, plaster, and shingles hit the limit in a half-full 15 or 20. On demolition jobs we plan both from the start — a dense box with an agreed fill height and a volume box for everything else — instead of arguing with a scale ticket later.
Concrete, asphalt, and block
Keep clean loads clean. El Paso County's 2026 Recycling Directory lists Colorado Aggregate Recycling on East Las Vegas Street for asphalt, bricks, cinder blocks, concrete, rock, pavers, roofing tiles, and sand, and Martin Marietta on Capital Drive for asphalt and concrete. A demo load with no trash mixed in can go to a recycler instead of a landfill face — tell us before the pour comes out and we set the box and the route to match. Mixed loads go to the landfill as ordinary C&D.
02 / ROOF TEAR-OFFS
Hail alley keeps roofers busy.
Colorado Springs sits in the Front Range corridor NOAA calls "hail alley" — and tear-off debris is the densest load we haul.
The local storm math
NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory puts it plainly: Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming usually have the most hailstorms in the country, and the region where the three states meet — "hail alley" — averages seven to nine hail days a year. The National Weather Service office covering Colorado Springs has recorded stones here from pea size to softball size, and issues severe thunderstorm warnings at one-inch hail. The city has the receipts: on June 13, 2018, hail up to three inches raked the southern metro and Fountain and caused roughly $169 million in damage; on August 6, 2018, three-to-four-inch stones hit the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo area and southern Colorado Springs for roughly $173 million more. Two storms, one summer, about $340 million — that is why re-roofs run all season here, generally mid-April into September with a June peak.
Shingle weight decides the box
A tear-off looks small on the ground and loads heavy in the container. Shingles stack dense, and a second layer coming off the same roof doubles the tonnage without changing the footprint. That is why tear-offs go in a 20 — or a 15 for smaller or multi-layer sections — with the fill height agreed before the first square is pulled, not in a 30 filled to the rim. Load shingles flat and layered, keep the load level and below the top edge, and leave the rear-door path clear so felt and flashing can be walked in at the end.
Where roofing debris goes
Tear-off loads run to permitted El Paso County outlets: the WM Colorado Springs Landfill on Blaney Road and WM's Midway Landfill in Fountain both accept C&D debris, and the El Paso County Transfer Station that opened off Hancock Expressway in 2026 lists roofing materials among the loads it consolidates. Clean roofing tiles have a recycling route through Colorado Aggregate Recycling. Give us the roof area and layer count; we set box count, weight terms, and routing in one call.

03 / JOBSITE PLACEMENT
Stage it on the site, not the street.
Private staging keeps the container out of the permit process entirely.
Placement that survives the whole job
Pick a drop point that still works in week three: firm ground that holds a loaded box, a straight approach the truck can repeat at pickup weight, clearance from trenches, spoil piles, material staging, and overhead lines. Point the rear door at the debris flow. Do not let the job close in around the container — the route that delivered it empty has to extract it full.
When the box must use public right-of-way
Colorado Springs runs that placement through a revocable permit — the city's page names construction dumpsters explicitly, the application requires a site plan with streets, curbs, sidewalks, bus facilities, container dimensions, and setbacks, and the city may revoke the permit at any time. Unincorporated El Paso County and the Town of Monument each run separate processes. The permit page maps every jurisdiction we deliver to; sort it before the schedule depends on the spot.

Jobsite questions, answered.
Material, weight, and right-of-way rules for contractor rentals.
What size box for a roof tear-off?
Shingles are dense, so the limit is weight, not volume — a 20-yard box with an agreed fill height is the standard call for many roofs, and a 15 suits smaller or multi-layer sections. Give us the approximate square footage and layer count and we set the box count before the crew starts pulling.
Can we put concrete and block in the box?
Yes, in a smaller box with a fill height agreed up front — dense material goes overweight long before it fills a container. If the load is clean concrete or asphalt with no trash mixed in, local recyclers listed in the county directory take it, which usually beats landfilling it.
The box has to sit in the street. Who handles the permit?
Placement in Colorado Springs right-of-way goes through the city’s revocable-permit process, applied for through the Planning Department’s online system with a site plan. Sort the permit before you book the delivery date, and give us the approved conditions — they become part of the drop plan.
Do you take asbestos or hazardous material?
Not in a rental box. Keep suspect material out of the load entirely — the Colorado Springs Landfill lists asbestos only as a special waste handled by prior arrangement directly with the facility, and liquids, used oil, batteries, and tires are banned from Colorado landfills outright.
