Home cleanout dumpster sizes and prices in Fort Collins
A 20-yard dumpster holds about 6 pickup-truck loads and fits most Fort Collins cleanouts — a few rooms of boxes, old furniture, clothing, and general household clutter. The bin measures roughly 22 feet long and sits low enough to load by hand without a ladder. At $695 with pickup and hauling included, the 20-yard is the size ordered most often for homes in Fossil Creek, Miramont, and English Ranch. Order this size when you're clearing more than one room but not gutting the whole house.
A 10-yard dumpster holds about 3 pickup-truck loads and works for one room, a garage, or a closet-and-attic purge. The bin is short and compact, so it fits on a single-car driveway in Old Town or a tight Timberline Estates lot without blocking the sidewalk. At $595, the 10-yard is the honest choice for smaller jobs — no reason to pay for a 20-yard when a 10-yard swallows the pile. Heavy debris like tile or dirt often maxes a 10-yard on weight before it fills on volume.
A 30-yard dumpster holds about 9 pickup-truck loads and handles a whole-house cleanout — couches, mattresses, appliances, and years of stored items together. The bin stands taller than the 20-yard, so plan to toss bulky pieces over the wall or through the rear swing door. At $795, the 30-yard suits estate cleanouts and full move-outs in larger Registry Ridge and Warren Farms homes. Right-sizing matters: a customer clearing two rooms rarely needs this size, and we'll say so before it drops.
Weight — not just how full the bin looks — sets the real cost on a Fort Collins cleanout. Household clutter, cardboard, and clothing are light and fill a bin by volume. Carpet, tile, plaster, water-logged furniture, and old flooring are heavy and hit the weight limit while the bin still looks half full. Each dumpster size includes a tonnage allowance, and overage is billed by the ton. The weight rule gets explained up front so no cleanout ends in a surprise charge.
The dumpster sits on boards to protect concrete and pavers from the steel frame and wheels. Placement is planned so the bin doesn't block the sidewalk or a shared driveway — a common concern on narrow Old Town lots and tight Harmony Crossing courts. The delivery lands inside the promised window and the loaded bin gets hauled off on schedule, so a cleanout deadline holds. That's the point of the promise: on the window, every time.
Fort Collins home cleanout prices run $595 for a 10-yard, $695 for a 20-yard, $795 for a 30-yard, and $895 for a 40-yard, each with pickup and hauling included. A dumpster placed on a public street or in the public right-of-way may require a City of Fort Collins right-of-way permit — verify with the City before street placement. Older Old Town properties near College and Mountain often have short driveways where a 10-yard or 20-yard fits best. Sloped lots in Fossil Creek and The Landings need level placement, which gets checked on the free on-site look. Prohibited items in most Larimer County disposal include paint, tires, batteries, and appliances with refrigerant — confirm the disposal list before loading.
