Security-Widefield Dumpster Company delivers open-top roll-off containers to properties across Security-Widefield and the surrounding El Paso County area. The service is straightforward: a container arrives at the address, holds material for the duration of the rental period, and gets hauled away when the job is done. That is the whole transaction.
We handle residential and commercial work. Home cleanouts, garage and basement cleanouts, roofing tear-offs, renovation and demolition debris, estate cleanouts, foreclosure and rental property turnovers, landscaping debris, and storm cleanup all fit within what a roll-off dumpster rental covers. Rentals run from a compact 10-yard up to a 40-yard, with the lowboy available as a separate option for heavy material like concrete and dirt. Whatever the pile looks like, there is a container sized for it. Give us a call and we keep it simple.
Booking a container should be the easy part of clearing a site. The fastest way to land an early delivery window is to come to the call with a few things ready: the address, the type of material going in, the approximate size needed, and whether the container will sit on private property or in the public right of way.
That last point matters for permitting. Placement in the right of way may require a permit, and requirements vary depending on whether the address falls inside Security-Widefield or elsewhere in El Paso County. We confirm what applies at the specific address before delivery, so the caller does not have to guess.
Short-notice requests are welcome. Ask about current availability and we will tell you exactly what the schedule can accommodate. We confirm what is open when you reach us. We're easy to work with.
When the job determines the container, the decision gets easier. There are three things to think through: how much material there is, how heavy it is, and where the container has to land.
For residential cleanouts, garage and attic hauls, estate work, and general household junk removal, the material tends to be bulky rather than heavy. A 10-yard holds about 4 pickup truck loads worth, which suits a focused single-room cleanout. A 15-yard holds about 6 pickup truck loads worth and handles a full basement or garage with room to spare. A 20-yard holds about 7 pickup truck loads worth and covers most whole-house cleanouts and moving-day purges.
Roofing and renovation work shifts the calculus. Shingles and drywall fill a container by weight before they fill it by cubic yard, so a 12-yard that holds about 5 pickup truck loads worth of light debris may reach its weight limit well before it looks full. When demolition debris is in the mix, sizing up is usually the right call. A 30-yard holds about 11 pickup truck loads worth and covers most mid-scale renovation projects. Contractor and construction site rentals frequently land in the 20-yard to 40-yard range. A 40-yard holds about 14 pickup truck loads worth and suits large commercial cleanouts, full gut renovations, and multi-phase construction sites.
Concrete, dirt, and other dense material belong in the lowboy. It is built around weight capacity rather than volume, and it is the right call whenever the load is going to be dense rather than bulky. Call us and we'll walk you through it.
Some projects take a day, others take a week. Either way, placement is a decision worth thinking through before the container arrives.
Driveway placement is the most common setup. Surface type matters: gravel, pavers, and older concrete each respond differently under load. Driveway protection boards are an option worth raising on the call if the surface is a concern.
Clearance is the other variable that catches people off guard. Overhead lines, tree canopy, and tight gate entries can all affect where a roll-off lands. Walking the intended spot before calling helps flag anything that could complicate delivery.
Street placement is possible in some situations and subject to local requirements. We confirm what applies at the address before anything is scheduled.
Soft ground and landscaping present their own considerations. Containers placed on soft soil or over irrigation lines need a conversation before delivery, not after. Placement decisions get made by people who know sites like yours. Reach out and we'll get you squared away.
A clean worksite is a productive worksite. Most material from a typical job loads without issue: general construction and demolition debris, household junk and furniture, roofing shingles, drywall, yard waste and landscaping debris, storm debris, mixed renovation waste, wood, and metal. Concrete goes in with a weight check.
Some materials cannot go in a roll-off container regardless of the job type. Paint and solvents, motor oil, batteries, propane tanks, asbestos-containing material, tires, refrigerants, appliances containing refrigerants, medical waste, and chemical or cleaning products all fall outside what a standard dumpster rental accepts.
El Paso County household hazardous waste programs handle most of the restricted items. If there is uncertainty about where something goes, ask on the call and we will point you in the right direction. Yard waste is accepted in most cases, though there are disposal-path questions worth raising before loading begins.
Before you start loading, it helps to understand what the quote covers. A price is built around three things: the container size, the rental period, and a weight allowance. All three are stated on the call before anything is scheduled.
Larger containers, heavier material, longer rental periods, and extended haul distances all move the number upward. The one variable that is not fully settled at booking is the weight overage. If the load comes in heavier than the allowance stated in the quote, that difference is reflected in the final bill. We explain this plainly on the call so there is no confusion when the container comes back.
Rental period extensions are available. Confirm before the scheduled pickup date and we adjust accordingly. We offer free, no-obligation dumpster quotes. Call, get a number, decide. No commitment required to ask.
The fill line is the maximum level to which a container can be loaded, and material must sit at or below it before the container is transported. An overloaded container is a safety issue during haul, and loads above the line will not be accepted for pickup until the excess is removed.
A 10-yard, which holds about 4 pickup truck loads worth, handles a focused single-car garage with light to moderate junk. A 15-yard, which holds about 6 pickup truck loads worth, is the better call for a two-car garage or one that has accumulated years of storage.
If the container is loaded above the fill line, pickup will not proceed until the excess material is removed and the load is level. We explain the fill-level requirement when the container is delivered so there is no confusion when pickup day arrives.
A 15-yard holds about 6 pickup truck loads worth and covers most full basement cleanouts where the material is bulky rather than heavy. If the basement includes heavy items like concrete, old appliances, or dense construction debris, sizing up to a 20-yard, which holds about 7 pickup truck loads worth, gives you more room for the weight.
A permit may be required when the container sits in the public right of way rather than on private property. Requirements depend on the specific address and jurisdiction, and we confirm what applies before delivery.
Driveway protection boards can be placed under the container to distribute the load and reduce the risk of cracking or surface damage. This is worth raising on the call if the driveway surface is a concern, particularly with older concrete or pavers.
The rental period is confirmed on the call when the quote is given. If the project runs longer than expected, extensions are available. Call before the scheduled pickup date and we adjust the timeline accordingly.
A container loaded unevenly or above the fill line shifts during transport, which creates a safety risk on the road. Keeping the load level and within the fill line ensures the haul goes smoothly and that pickup is not delayed.
Appliances that contain refrigerants, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and freezers, are not accepted in a standard roll-off container. Appliances without refrigerants may be accepted. Ask on the call if you have a specific item and we will confirm whether it can go in.
Permit costs vary by jurisdiction and are separate from the dumpster rental quote. We confirm what is required at your address before delivery, and the process for obtaining the permit depends on the issuing authority for that location.
Each container comes with a weight allowance that is stated as part of the quote before delivery is scheduled. The allowance varies by container size and material type, and heavier debris like concrete or roofing shingles reaches the limit faster than light household junk.
Yes, gravel and packed-dirt surfaces are common in parts of El Paso County and are workable in most cases. Soft or unstable ground is a different situation and worth discussing before delivery, since the container needs a stable base to sit safely.
Boards or pads can be placed under the container to spread the weight and reduce lawn damage. If the only available placement is on grass or landscaping, raise it on the call so the delivery is set up with that in mind.
The container is weighed at the transfer station after pickup. If the total comes in over the weight allowance stated in the quote, the overage is calculated from the facility's weight ticket and reflected in the final bill.
When the dumpster arrives, the real work can begin. Before that happens, a short call gets everything in place.
Have the delivery address and the intended placement spot in mind. Know the material type and a rough sense of volume. Know the dates that work, or ask what the schedule has open. The call covers size, rental period, weight allowance, and price. Everything is confirmed before delivery is scheduled.

How do I estimate the right container size based on the type of debris I am hauling?
Material type is the first thing to think through, not just volume. Bulky household junk and furniture fill a container by cubic yard, so a 15-yard or 20-yard handles most whole-house cleanouts. Roofing shingles, concrete, and drywall are heavier than they look and can hit the weight allowance before the container looks full. For dense material, the lowboy is the better fit. When you call, describe what is going in and we will help you land on the right size.
What counts as heavy debris that belongs in a lowboy rather than a standard container?
Concrete, dirt, asphalt, brick, and other masonry are the main categories. These materials are dense enough that a standard roll-off can reach its weight limit well before it is visually full, which means you end up paying for unused volume. The lowboy is built around weight capacity rather than cubic yards, so it is the right call whenever the load is going to be heavy rather than bulky. If you are mixing heavy debris with lighter material, we can help you figure out whether one container or two makes more sense.
Rate Confirmed Before the Drop-Off
The size, rental period, weight allowance, and price are all stated on the call before delivery is scheduled. You know what you are paying before the container arrives.
Do I need to be present for delivery or pickup?
You do not need to be on site for either delivery or pickup as long as we have clear instructions for placement before the container arrives. On the call, we confirm the exact spot, any access considerations, and whether there are clearance concerns. If the placement is straightforward and everything is agreed in advance, the drop and the haul can both happen without you there. If anything is uncertain, we will let you know before we schedule.
How does the swap-out process work if I fill the container before the project is done?
If the container fills up before the job is finished, call us and we will schedule a haul-away and a fresh drop. The second container is quoted the same way as the first: size, rental period, and weight allowance are all confirmed before delivery. Some larger projects plan for multiple containers from the start, and we can talk through that on the initial call if you expect the volume to be significant.
What items are prohibited from going into a roll-off container?
Paint, solvents, motor oil, batteries, propane tanks, tires, refrigerants, appliances containing refrigerants, asbestos-containing material, medical waste, and chemical or cleaning products cannot go into a standard roll-off. El Paso County household hazardous waste programs handle most of these. If you are unsure about a specific item, ask on the call and we will tell you whether it is accepted or point you toward the right disposal option.
Honest Advice on the Right Size
We go through the material type and volume with you on the call so the container fits the job. Sizing up or down is easier to do before delivery than after.
How does extending a rental work and what does it cost?
If the project runs longer than the rental period stated in your quote, call us before the scheduled pickup date and we will adjust the timeline. Extension rates are confirmed on that call. The main thing is to reach out before pickup is attempted rather than after, so the schedule can be updated cleanly. We work with project timelines that shift, and extending is a straightforward request.
What happens if the load comes in over the weight allowance?
Each rental includes a weight allowance that is stated as part of the quote. The container is weighed at the transfer station after pickup. If the total comes in above the allowance, the overage is calculated from the facility weight ticket and reflected in the final bill. We explain how the weight allowance works on the call so you know what to expect before the container is delivered. Sizing up when the load is going to be heavy is usually the better call.
How flexible are delivery windows if my project start date shifts?
Short-notice requests are welcome, and schedule changes happen on most projects. Call us as soon as the timeline shifts and we will confirm what is available. Delivery as soon as the following day depends on what the schedule allows at the time of the call. We confirm what is open when you reach us rather than making promises about a specific window in advance.
Flexible Scheduling and Rental Periods
Project timelines shift, and we work with that. Extensions are available, short-notice requests are welcome, and we confirm what the schedule allows when you call.
What does the quoted price cover and what is the weight allowance?
The quote covers the container size, the rental period, and a weight allowance. All three are stated on the call before anything is scheduled. Larger containers, heavier material, longer rental periods, and extended haul distances can all affect the price. The weight allowance is the part of the quote most worth asking about, because loads that come in heavier than the stated allowance result in an overage charge. Ask what the allowance is for your container size and material type, and we will give you a straight answer.
How should I load the container to stay within the fill line and avoid delays at pickup?
Load material evenly and keep it at or below the fill line marked on the container walls. Material that sits above the line cannot be transported safely and pickup will not proceed until the excess is removed. Spreading weight evenly across the floor of the container rather than piling everything to one side also makes for a safer haul. We cover the fill-line requirement when the container is delivered so there is no confusion on pickup day.
