Can I mix yard waste with other junk?

It is better not to. Tell us the rough split and we will sort the boxes and price it the best way.

Do stumps and logs go in?

Yes. They are heavy, so tell us how many and we will pick the size and allowance to suit.

Is there a cheaper option for a small pile?

For a normal weekend’s trimming, your regular hauler’s yard-waste or compost service is the cheapest route. In Thornton, the City’s Click & Haul service takes branches and yard waste by the pickup-bed load. A container is for the big jobs.

Can the container go on the lawn?

Yes, though it will leave marks and the truck needs firm ground. Most people put it on the driveway and carry the brush to it.

Yard Waste Dumpster Rental in Aurora, CO

A Front Range Dumpsters roll-off container ready for a yard clean-up

Yard waste dumpster rental is for the clean-ups that are too big for a trash cart: a storm that brought limbs down, an overgrown lot, hedges and stumps coming out, or a landscaping tear-out with old sod, rock and timbers. We deliver a 10, 15 or 20-yard container, you fill it, and we haul it.

Keep green waste and general debris in separate boxes where you can; the disposal site treats yard and green waste as its own material. Sod, soil and rock are heavy and go in a 10-yard, loaded level with the rail.

What goes in a yard waste dumpster

Branches, brush, leaves, hedge trimmings, stumps, logs, sod, soil, rock, mulch, old fencing, deck boards, landscape timbers and pavers. Keep hazardous items out: weed killers, pool chemicals and fuel are household hazardous waste, and Aurora residents can have them collected through Waste Management’s At Your Door program for $10 (800.449.7587).

The cart and when a container makes sense

In Aurora, yard waste goes through whichever private hauler or compost service your household or HOA uses, since the City does not run its own collection. That is fine for a normal weekend’s trimming. A container makes sense when the pile would take weeks of carts, when you have stumps, sod or rock, or when the job has to be done this week, such as a xeriscape conversion pulling out a whole lawn.

Storm clean-up

After a storm we put the calls with trees down and fences flattened first. A 20-yard container swallows a large yard’s worth of limbs; call before noon and we can often deliver the same day around Aurora. If a tree has taken a fence or a shed with it, tell us and we will size the box for the mixed load.

Which size for this job?

10 Yard Dumpster (12′ L × 8′ W × 3.5′ H, 1 to 2 tons included): sod, soil, rock and stone
