Weight and disposal
Weight limits and what can go in
Littleton's curbside chemical and electronics pickup is paused until spring 2027, and Colorado already keeps tires, used oil, lead-acid batteries and electronics out of landfills, so none of those belong in a box.
| Topic | Rule |
|---|---|
| Items Colorado keeps out of landfills | Colorado's health department bars lead-acid batteries, liquids or wastes with free liquids, used oil, waste tires and electronic devices from residential disposal in a solid waste facility. Source |
| Household chemicals and electronics | Littleton partners with a curbside household hazardous waste pickup for paint, garden chemicals, motor oil, batteries, pool chemicals and electronics. The city's page says 2026 funds have been used up and scheduling returns in spring 2027, and it points residents to PaintCare drop-off sites for leftover paint in the meantime. Source |
What can’t go in
Colorado keeps tires, used oil, lead-acid batteries, electronics and free liquids out of landfills, so leave them out of your Littleton box.
Permits and rules
Permits and city rules
Littleton's Permit Center handles Right of Way applications for anything on a street, alley or sidewalk, and a 2024 council packet lists dumpsters among them.
| When | What you need | Lead time | Who to call |
|---|---|---|---|
| A dumpster, roll-off or moving pod placed on a public street, alley or sidewalk | A Right of Way permit, applied for online through the city's eTRAKiT portal. The city says a ROW permit is required for any work or equipment occupying the public right-of-way, including sidewalks and alleys, and a 2024 council packet names temporary storage of moving pods or dumpsters among the activities it covers. The city may ask for a traffic control plan with the application. Source 1 Source 2 | City of Littleton Permit Center, 303-795-3751, permits@littletonco.gov | |
| A dumpster kept on private property, such as a driveway | The city's right-of-way permit page does not address a container kept on private property, so it states no permit rule for a driveway placement. Source | City of Littleton Permit Center, 303-795-3751 |
Littleton's right-of-way permit page does not name dumpsters. The 2024 council packet that proposed updating Title 8 of the city code does. Neither source states a permit fee for a container or says who must apply, the resident or the hauler.
Weather and season
Weather and the busy season
19.0°F
Centennial Airport, the NOAA station we use for Littleton, shows a January low near 19.0°F and about 155 freezing nights a year. The last freeze usually comes around May 5, so early spring cleanouts often start on cold, firm ground.
87.3°F
July highs average 87.3°F and about 32 days a year reach 90°F or hotter, so loading shingles and drywall in the morning keeps a summer job easier on the crew.
2.25 in
August is the wettest month at 2.25 inches, with May close behind. Soaked debris weighs more and soft lawns rut under a loaded truck, so lay boards or use a hard surface under the box.
May
May was our busiest Littleton month, with March and June right behind it.
August
August slowed to the low point of the year in Littleton, with July, September and October only slightly busier.

Driveway or lot
In Littleton a driveway or private lot is the easy spot, since the city's permit page speaks only to streets, alleys and sidewalks.

FAQs
Common questions
Our recent Littleton-area orders, plus the city's permit and hazardous waste pages linked above, shaped these answers.
How fast can you deliver a dumpster?
Littleton delivery takes about two days after you order, and fewer than half of the boxes arrive within a day. Slower orders take up to four days.
Can I put a dumpster on my driveway or the street?
The city's permit page does not address private property, so a driveway is the simplest place to plan for. A box on a street, alley or sidewalk needs a city Right of Way permit.
Do I need a permit?
Littleton requires a Right of Way permit for equipment on a street, alley or sidewalk, applied for in the eTRAKiT portal. The Permit Center at 303-795-3751 can confirm what your spot needs.
How long can I keep it?
Littleton rentals include 14 days, and most jobs finish in about a week. Longer projects can run close to two weeks.
How much weight is included?
Weight depends on the box: about 2 tons on a 10 yard or 15 yard, about 3 on a 20 yard or 30 yard, and about 4 on a 40 yard.
What can't go in a dumpster?
Colorado bars electronics, tires, used oil, lead-acid batteries and free liquids from landfills. Littleton's city page lists paint, pesticides and household chemicals for its hazardous waste pickup, which returns in spring 2027.
How does billing work?
A ton over the allowance runs about $95 on a 30 yard, and each extra day adds about $25 on a 30 yard. Net 30 and extended terms are available for qualified contractor and business accounts.
How do I schedule a pickup?
Call us when your Littleton box is full and we will book the haul-off. Most jobs sit for about a week, well inside the 14 days included.
