Dumpster Rental in Elizabeth, CO

Roll-off containers for Elizabeth homes and jobsites

Elizabeth is the largest town in Elbert County, out where the ponderosa gives way to rolling grassland along CO-86. It has a real Main Street, a rodeo grounds and a school district, and it has been growing steadily as buyers push east looking for acreage they cannot find in Douglas County. Our containers go two places here. One is the older town core, where 1900s and mid-century homes are being reworked room by room. The other is the surrounding ranchettes, where new owners are clearing decades of accumulated equipment, fencing and outbuildings off five to forty acre parcels before they build.

What we know about working in Elizabeth

Elbert County sits high, around 6,500 feet at the town, on the divide between Gold Creek and Running Creek. Housing runs from turn-of-the-century frame homes and 1950s ranches near Main Street out to 1990s and 2000s acreage builds in Sun Country Meadows, Spring Valley Ranch, Wild Pointe and Gold Creek Meadows. Wells and septic systems are near universal outside the town limits, and there is no municipal trash service on most rural parcels, so cleanouts get scheduled rather than trickled out weekly. Agriculture and equestrian use still drive the economy, and the schools plus county services are the main employers. Wind is a factor here that people underestimate, and open, unbroken lots mean loose debris blows out of an uncovered box fast.

Getting a truck to you

We run south on Parker Road to Franktown, then east on CO-86 through the divide country into town. Rural addresses off the county roads add time, and several are gravel the whole way. Winter matters here more than closer in, because CO-86 drifts and county roads get plowed later. Loose loads need a tarp on the return trip given how hard the wind blows across open grassland east of town.

Routes we run: CO-86, CO-83 (Parker Road), County Road 13 (Elbert Road), Singing Hills Road.

Permits, streets and placement in Elizabeth

On a private driveway in Elizabeth you generally do not need a municipal permit. Placement in the public street or right-of-way is a different matter and normally requires approval — from the borough or township where the road is locally maintained, or from CDOT where it is a state route. Every municipality in Elbert County runs its own form and its own lead time, and older streets here often have no off-street parking at all, so plan the permit before you plan the delivery. It is a ten-minute call that saves a week.

Our permit and placement guide walks through the whole process, and CDPHE publishes the Covered Device Recycling Act rules and the other statewide disposal restrictions that apply to every load we haul out of Elizabeth. County recycling and household hazardous waste dates are published by Douglas County.
