What Size Construction Dumpster Do I Need?
Most residential remodels in Cheyenne fit in a 10 yard dumpster rental, which handles a single bathroom gut or a small deck removal. A garage teardown or roofing job usually needs a 20 yard dumpster rental. Full home renovations or additions push toward a 30 yard dumpster rental, and new construction or commercial demo often calls for a 40 yard dumpster rental. If you are not sure which box fits the job, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page breaks down footprint and height for each size so you can check clearance against a garage door or fence line before delivery day. Cheyenne Porta Pros also pairs dumpsters with a portable toilet rental or a standard porta potty rental for crews on multi-week jobs, since most residential streets in Cheyenne do not have a permanent restroom on site. If your project is close to Fox Farm-College, about 2.0 miles south of Cheyenne, or South Greeley, 3.6 miles south, delivery timing is similar to anywhere inside city limits, but confirm with dispatch since drive time still factors into scheduling for same-day requests.
Construction Dumpster Rental Cost in Cheyenne
Pricing depends on size and how long you keep the box on site. Here is what a rental construction dumpster runs across the durations Cheyenne Porta Pros offers:
| Size | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-20 yard, day/week | $51 - $112 | $426 - $778 | n/a |
| 10-20 yard, month (long-term swap rate) | n/a | n/a | $91 - $500 |
| 30-40 yard | call for quote | call for quote | call for quote |
A day rate near $75 typical works for a quick weekend cleanup, while a week at $600 typical suits an active remodel with ongoing debris. Monthly pricing on the low end, around $108 typical, reflects a different billing setup than the day or week rate, since long jobs on a monthly plan usually mean the dumpster gets swapped and emptied on a schedule rather than sitting untouched, so it is not a straight discount against the week rate. For a full construction dumpster rental price breakdown across every size Cheyenne Porta Pros stocks, see the dumpster rental cost page, and for daily-use jobs specifically, check 10 yard dumpster rental pricing before you book. Delivery fees run separately, typically $100 to $150 for a standard day delivery inside Cheyenne.
Do I Need a Permit for a Construction Dumpster in Cheyenne?
Placement in the street or public right of way needs confirming with the City of Cheyenne before delivery. If the dumpster sits entirely on your own driveway or lot, permitting is usually simpler, but any placement that touches a curb, sidewalk, or roadway should be checked with the city first. Cheyenne Porta Pros can flag likely permit situations during scheduling, but the dumpster permit requirements page is the place to start research before your delivery date, since rules and any fees are not something we can quote from memory. If your project sits in Warren AFB, about 5.0 miles west of Cheyenne, or out toward Ranchettes, 9.2 miles north, jurisdiction can shift outside city code entirely, so confirm which authority governs your specific address.
What Cannot Go in a Construction Dumpster?
Most demolition debris, wood, drywall, and packaging goes in without issue, but certain materials are restricted almost everywhere: tires, batteries, paint cans, and anything flammable typically cannot ride in a standard roll-off. Weight limits also matter more than volume on heavier loads like concrete or roofing shingles, since overloading a box triggers extra fees at the landfill scale. The what cannot go in a dumpster page lists the specifics, and dumpster weight limits covers how tonnage caps work by size so you are not surprised by an overage charge. For active job sites, OSHA 1926.25 requires scrap and debris to be cleared from work areas regularly, and OSHA 1926.252 governs how waste materials get moved and disposed of, including any chute or enclosure used to funnel debris into the box. Keeping the dumpster close to the work zone, within that 60 foot clearance window Cheyenne Porta Pros needs for delivery, also helps crews stay compliant with housekeeping rules without hauling debris across the site by hand.
Beyond the dumpster itself, most active construction sites in Cheyenne need sanitation too. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet ratios by crew size, from one unit for 20 workers or fewer up to one per 50 at 200 or more. If your crew works with paints, coatings, or solvents, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific contaminant exposure. Pair your box with a construction site services package or add an emergency porta potty rental if a delivery gets pushed back and your permit inspection cannot wait.
How much does a 10 yard construction dumpster cost per day?
A 10 yard box typically runs in the $51 to $112 day range depending on debris type and how full it gets. Heavier loads like concrete or roofing tear-off can push toward the top of that range. Delivery fees are separate, usually $100 to $150.
How long can I keep a construction dumpster on site?
Cheyenne Porta Pros offers day, week, and month rentals, so you pick what matches your timeline. A weekend cleanup might only need a day rate, while a full renovation often runs weekly or monthly. Swapping a full box mid-project is common on longer jobs.
Can I place a dumpster on the street in Cheyenne?
Only with confirmation from the City of Cheyenne, since public right of way placement is not something we can pre-approve. Driveway or private lot placement is usually simpler. Check the dumpster permit requirements page before scheduling if you are unsure where the box will sit.
What is the difference between a construction dumpster and a regular dumpster?
Construction dumpsters are rated for heavier debris like concrete, drywall, and shingles, while regular dumpsters serve household junk and lighter cleanout loads. Weight limits and pricing reflect that difference. See dumpster weight limits for tonnage specifics by size.
Do I need a portable toilet with my dumpster rental?
Not required, but most active job sites in Cheyenne add one anyway since OSHA 1926.51(c) sets sanitation expectations by crew size. A standard porta potty rental pairs easily with any dumpster delivery on the same trip.
