Is a permit needed for a dumpster in Glendale?

Glendale code § 12.20.190: trash dumpsters “are not placed in the street without specific approval,” and any use of the right-of-way needs a City permit. The form does not mention dumpsters, so we call Public Works (303-639-4500) first; most jobs go on the property’s own lot.

Can you deliver the same day in Glendale?

Usually. City Hall is about 6 miles from our yard by I-225 and Parker Road, so a call before noon usually gets a same-day drop.

Where does a dumpster go at an apartment or condo building?

On the property’s own lot, in a spot the manager or association approves. The street needs the City’s specific approval, so we call Public Works first if there is no room on site. If there is no room at all, our junk removal crew loads straight onto the truck.

Does the City run a bulk pickup?

No. The City says trash service at homes, condos and apartments is usually provided by private companies, and it publishes no bulk pickup. For a clean-out or remodel, a 10 or 15-yard is the usual box.

Dumpster Rental in Glendale

Half a square mile of apartments and condos surrounded by Denver, with Infinity Park at its heart.

Glendale is a city of its own, incorporated as a town in 1952 and entirely surrounded by Denver, on just over half a square mile of land along Cherry Creek. About 4,500 people live there, and 97 percent of its homes are in apartment and condo buildings, with only 4 percent owner-occupied. At its center is the Infinity Park district, whose 4,000-seat rugby stadium opened in 2007.

So our customers here are mostly property managers, unit turnovers and commercial tenants rather than homeowners, and the sites are tight: a 10 or 15-yard on the property’s own lot is the usual job. City Hall on South Birch Street is about 6 miles from our yard by I-225 and Parker Road, and a call before noon usually gets a same-day drop.

Do I need a permit in Glendale?

Glendale’s code requires a City permit before anyone undertakes “any construction, excavation, or work in the public rights-of-way” (§ 12.20.040), defines work to include “any use or storage of equipment or materials,” and says “trash dumpsters and storage or construction trailers are not placed in the street without specific approval” (§ 12.20.190). The City’s right-of-way permit form does not mention dumpsters and asks for a Glendale contractor license and insurance, so before any street placement we call Public Works (303-639-4500) rather than quote a fee or a rule. With most of the city in apartment and condo buildings, the practical answer is usually a container on the property’s own lot, in a spot the manager approves; the City publishes no rule for a temporary roll-off on private property. Household trash in Glendale is usually handled by private companies, and the City publishes no bulk pickup. A demolition permit costs $50 or actual costs estimated before issue (§ 15.04.026), through Building and Permits at 950 South Birch Street (303-759-1513).
