DIY Dumpster Trailer
DIY Dumpster Trailer Rental in Denver Metro
A lower-profile 15-yard dumpster trailer for smaller projects, tight driveways, and HOA-sensitive neighborhoods. When it can sit in your driveway, it also avoids the street-permit issue that can come with placing a roll-off in the public right-of-way.
Our 15-yard DIY dumpster trailer rental is built for smaller self-load projects where a full-size roll-off is more container than you need. It is especially useful in residential neighborhoods where a lower profile matters, HOA appearance is a concern, or driveway placement helps avoid putting a roll-off in the street.

When the DIY Dumpster Trailer Makes More Sense
The trailer is not meant to beat a roll-off on capacity, weight allowance, or rental length. It is the better tool when placement and neighborhood fit matter more than maximum capacity.
Great for Strict-HOA Neighborhoods
A 15-yard dump trailer sits lower than a traditional roll-off and looks more like a trailer than a large commercial container. That can make it a much better fit in HOA-controlled neighborhoods where appearance, driveway use, and how long a container is visible matter. HOA rules vary, so homeowners should still confirm their neighborhood requirements.
Avoid the Roll-Off Street-Permit Problem
A roll-off that has to sit in a public street may require a street-occupancy or right-of-way permit depending on the municipality. Our dumpster trailer can usually be placed directly in a driveway on private property, which avoids that issue entirely. If the trailer itself must sit in the street, local parking and permit rules can still apply.
Better for Tight Residential Placement
The trailer’s smaller footprint and lower profile make it easier to place in many residential driveways where a 20- or 30-yard roll-off would be excessive or awkward.
Half-Load Option
Only need part of the space? The half-trailer option is $249 with up to 2 days and 1 ton included, so you do not have to pay for a full container for a smaller cleanup.
When the Roll-Off Is the Better Deal
If you have room for it and need more capacity, more weight, or more time, choose the roll-off.
Our 20-yard roll-off is $449 with up to 14 days and 4 tons included—only $50 more than the full 15-yard trailer. The 30-yard is $499 with 14 days and 5 tons included.
That means the DIY trailer wins on residential fit, lower profile, HOA-sensitive placement, and partial loads. The roll-off wins when the job is simply bigger.

Questions
Frequently Asked
How is this different from a roll-off dumpster?
The DIY trailer is a compact 15-yard option that sits lower and is easier to place in many residential driveways. It is a strong fit for smaller projects, tight access, and HOA-sensitive neighborhoods. When it can be placed on private property, it also avoids the street-occupancy permit issue that can come with putting a roll-off in the public right-of-way. If you need more space, weight, or time, the 20- or 30-yard roll-off is usually the better value.
What's the partial fill option?
If you don't need a full trailer, you can fill up to half for $249. That includes 2 days and up to 1 ton of weight. If the project grows past the halfway mark, you simply move to the full-trailer rate.
How long do I get to keep the trailer?
The half fill includes 2 days. The full trailer includes 5 days and up to 2 tons. Additional days are $25 each. If your project is likely to run much longer than 5 days, ask us about the 20-yard roll-off—it is $449 and includes up to 14 days and 4 tons, so it usually becomes the better value.
Do I need a permit for the dumpster trailer?
For normal driveway placement on private property, you generally avoid the street-occupancy permit issue that can apply when a roll-off has to sit in the public right-of-way. If the trailer itself needs to occupy a public street, local parking and permit rules can still apply. HOA rules also vary, so customers should confirm any neighborhood-specific requirements.
What items cost extra or require special handling?
Tires, paint and paint products, oils and automotive fluids, TVs and other large electronics, and refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, or other refrigerant-containing appliances can often be handled for an additional charge. Tell us about these items before delivery so we can confirm the fee and handling method. Do not place them in the trailer unless we specifically approve it. Biohazard or medical waste, asbestos, hazardous chemicals, and other regulated materials are prohibited.
What happens if I go over a half fill?
If you fill past the halfway mark, you simply move to the $399 full-trailer rate, which includes up to 2 tons and 5 days. Weight above the included amount is $35 per quarter ton.
Do you offer contractor or commercial rates?
Yes! We offer preferred pricing for contractors, realtors, property managers, and other partners. Call or text us at 303-565-7408 for details on our partner rates.
Why Customers Choose Mountain Goat
"Kevin with Mountain Goat Junk Co was awesome to work with! He dropped off a trailer for our home renovation project, we loaded it, and he picked it up right on time. Super easy process, great prices, and even better communication. Highly recommend him if you need junk removal done right!"
"I called Kevin to see what it would cost to haul away carpet and trash from a house that I was renovating. I had called a few dumpster companies and received prices for drops. I still had to hire a person to load the dumpster. Kevin was able to bring the dumpster and clean the garage and responded in a timely manner. I have been in the construction business for over 40 years and appreciate when I find a company that is on time and does a great job. I would highly recommend him."
"Great Service. Dumpster was new and easy to load into. Very professional interaction. Was a huge assistance helping load all the heavy items from our recent renovation. Will use again."
