Contractor Waste & Permitting Blog

If you are planning a renovation or cleanup in Aurora, CO, understanding local dumpster permit requirements is essential to avoid city fines.

The basic rule: When placed on a private driveway or private job site property, NO permit is required by the City of Aurora. However, if the roll-off container must be placed on a city street or public right-of-way, a Right-of-Way Street Permit is required.

Apex Hauling & Rolloffs helps contractors and homeowners optimize placement. Our compact 10, 15, and 20-yard roll-off bins are designed to fit neatly on standard driveways, keeping your project permit-free and on budget.

Additionally, our drivers place heavy timber planks under every wheel to guarantee zero scuffs or asphalt impression marks.

Different demolition materials carry vastly different weight-to-volume ratios. For example, 10 cubic yards of broken concrete can weigh over 10,000 lbs, whereas 10 cubic yards of lumber scrap may only weigh 2,500 lbs.

To prevent surprise weight overages, Apex Hauling provides dedicated 10-yard reinforced low-boy containers for heavy masonry and dirt, while reserving 20 and 30-yard bins for lighter, high-volume demolition debris.

Our flat-rate quotes include generous tonnage allowances (up to 4 tons), protecting your job site profitability.

Selecting the right container size keeps your project moving smoothly without paying for unused space.
