We’ve been serving Durango and La Plata County for nearly two decades, and in that time, we’ve learned that when you need a dumpster, you need it fast, affordable, and hassle-free. At Knuckles Waste Disposal, we deliver exactly that; same-day roll-off dumpster rental, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and every size from 10 to 40 yards ready to go when you are.
Whether you’re tackling a home renovation, managing a construction site, or cleaning out an estate, we’re here to make waste removal the easiest part of your project. We’re locally owned, fully licensed, and committed to eco-friendly disposal practices that keep La Plata County clean. When you call us, you’re not reaching a call center; you’re talking directly to people who live and work right here in Durango.
Knuckles Waste Disposal started in 2006 with a simple mission: to give Durango a better option for roll-off dumpster rentals. Back then, it was just our founder, a single truck, and a determination to serve the community with honesty and hard work. We saw too many people frustrated by unreliable companies, surprise fees, and trucks that showed up late; or didn’t show up at all.
So we built something different. Nearly 20 years later, we’ve grown into La Plata County’s go-to waste management provider, but we’ve never lost sight of what matters most: treating every customer like a neighbor, showing up on time, and doing the job right. We’ve helped thousands of homeowners, contractors, and businesses across Durango and beyond, and we’re just as committed today as we were on day one.
Our growth has been fueled by word-of-mouth, repeat customers, and a reputation we’re proud to stand behind. As Durango has evolved, so have we; adding more dumpster sizes, offering same-day delivery, expanding our service area, and constantly improving our processes based on what our customers tell us they need. But through it all, we’ve stayed true to our roots: family-owned, locally operated, and deeply invested in this community.
We know that no two projects are the same, which is why we offer comprehensive dumpster rental services designed to handle whatever you throw our way; literally.
Homeowners across Durango trust us for projects big and small. Whether you’re finally tackling that garage cleanout you’ve been putting off, renovating your kitchen, clearing out the basement, or preparing for a big move, we’ve got the right-sized dumpster to make your life easier. We also handle estate cleanouts with care and professionalism, spring cleaning projects, attic decluttering, downsizing moves, and landscaping jobs that generate piles of yard waste. And when Colorado’s unpredictable weather leaves storm debris in your yard, we’re ready to help you clean up fast.
Contractors and builders know they can count on Knuckles Waste Disposal to keep their job sites clean and compliant. We specialize in construction debris removal for projects of all sizes; from small bathroom remodels to multi-story new builds. Our dumpsters handle demolition waste, roofing tear-offs, drywall, lumber, concrete, and everything in between. Whether you’re adding a home addition, gutting a kitchen, or managing a major commercial build, we deliver on time and pick up on schedule so your crew can keep working without interruption.
We also offer contractor partnership programs with volume discounts and priority scheduling, because we know that when your project timeline depends on reliable waste removal, you need a partner you can trust.
Property managers, real estate professionals, and business owners rely on us for cleanouts, turnovers, and maintenance projects. We’ve handled everything from foreclosure cleanups and multi-family unit renovations to office relocations and retail space updates. If you manage properties in Durango or La Plata County, we make tenant turnover faster and simpler with flexible scheduling and competitive rates designed for commercial volume.
Choosing the right dumpster size can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. We’ll walk you through it and help you pick the perfect fit based on your project scope, timeline, and budget. Here’s a breakdown of what we offer:
Perfect for small cleanouts, garage decluttering, minor bathroom renovations, or yard cleanup projects. This compact size fits easily in tight driveways and holds roughly 3-4 pickup truck loads of debris. Dimensions are approximately 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 3.5 feet high.
Our lowboy option is ideal when you need easy loading access for heavy materials like dirt, concrete, or roofing shingles. The lower sidewalls make it perfect for projects where you’re shoveling or tossing heavy debris by hand.
Great for medium residential projects like deck removal, basement cleanouts, flooring replacements, or moderate landscaping jobs. This size holds about 4-6 pickup truck loads and measures roughly 14 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4 feet high.
Our most popular size; and for good reason. The 20-yard dumpster is the go-to choice for whole-room renovations, roof replacements, large garage cleanouts, and carpet removal projects. It holds 6-8 pickup truck loads, with dimensions around 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4 feet high. If you’re not sure which size you need, this is often the safest bet.
Designed for large-scale renovations, new home construction, major estate cleanouts, or commercial demolition projects. This workhorse can handle 10-12 pickup truck loads of debris and measures approximately 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet high.
Our largest option, built for the biggest jobs; major commercial construction, complete home demolitions, large multi-story builds, or industrial cleanouts. It holds 12-16 pickup truck loads and measures about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet high.
Not sure which size you need? Give us a call. We’ll ask a few quick questions about your project and recommend the best fit. We’d rather help you get it right the first time than have you pay for a second delivery.
When you need a dumpster, you usually need it now; not next week. That’s why we offer same-day dumpster delivery throughout Durango and La Plata County. Call us before noon, and in most cases, we’ll have a roll-off container on your property the same day.
For planned projects, our standard next-day delivery gives you plenty of time to schedule around your crew or your personal timeline. We also offer weekend deliveries, because we know renovations and cleanouts don’t always happen Monday through Friday.
Emergency situations? We’ve got you covered. Whether it’s unexpected storm debris, a last-minute construction deadline, or a sudden property cleanout, we respond fast. Our process is simple: call or book online, we confirm your delivery window, our driver drops off your dumpster exactly where you need it, and when you’re done, we pick it up on your schedule.
Need a dumpster today? Give us a call; we’ll make it happen.
We believe in transparent, upfront pricing with zero surprises. When we give you a quote, that’s what you pay; no sneaky fees tacked on at the end, no vague “additional charges,” and no fine print games.
Every rental includes delivery, pickup, your rental period (typically 7-14 days depending on the size), and disposal up to the included weight limit. If you need the dumpster longer, extensions are easy and affordable. We’ll always explain exactly what’s included and what might cost extra; like exceeding weight limits or disposing of prohibited materials; before you book.
We’re also proud to offer some of the most competitive dumpster rental rates in Durango and La Plata County. We know you’re comparing prices, and we’re confident our combination of fair pricing, reliable service, and quality equipment gives you the best value around. We also offer discounts for multi-week rentals, repeat customers, and contractor accounts.

Every project moves at its own pace, and we’re flexible enough to match yours. Our standard rental periods range from 7 to 14 days depending on the dumpster size, which gives most customers plenty of time to complete their work without feeling rushed.
Need it for just a weekend cleanout? No problem; we offer short-term rentals. Working on a long-term construction project or a phased renovation? Our weekly and monthly dumpster rental options keep waste management simple and affordable over extended timelines. You’ll never feel pressured to hurry up and fill the dumpster just because the clock is ticking. If you need an extension, just let us know and we’ll work it out.
We also provide temporary dumpster solutions for ongoing commercial projects, property management needs, or seasonal work like landscaping and outdoor construction.
At Knuckles Waste Disposal, we take our environmental responsibility seriously. We don’t just haul away your debris and forget about it; we’re committed to eco-friendly disposal practices that reduce landfill waste and support recycling efforts across La Plata County.
We partner with local waste management facilities to recycle construction debris, scrap metal, wood, cardboard, and other materials whenever possible. Concrete, asphalt, clean wood, and metals are sorted and sent to recycling centers instead of landfills. We also ensure proper disposal of materials that can’t be recycled, following all Colorado environmental regulations to protect our community and our state.
We’ll always let you know upfront what materials we can and can’t accept. Hazardous waste, chemicals, certain electronics, and other prohibited items require special handling, and we’re happy to point you in the right direction if you need to dispose of those separately.
By choosing Knuckles Waste Disposal, you’re not just getting reliable dumpster rental; you’re working with a company that cares about keeping Durango clean and sustainable for future generations.
