Yard Waste & Wildfire-Mitigation Dumpsters
Contain approved branches, brush, landscaping debris, and property-cleanup material with a roll-off dumpster sized for Colorado Springs and Teller County projects.
A Clearer Way to Handle the Debris.
Mountain and Front Range properties can generate large volumes of awkward, lightweight material during brush clearing, landscaping, storm cleanup, and wildfire-mitigation work. A container keeps the project consolidated and reduces repeated hauling trips.
Acceptance depends on the material and disposal destination. Describe branches, brush, stumps, sod, dirt, rock, fencing, and mixed debris separately before booking. Keeping loads clean and separated can prevent disposal problems and added costs.
When This Rental Makes Sense
Brush & Branch Removal
Contain approved cut branches, brush, and vegetation from property cleanup.
Wildfire-Mitigation Cleanup
Support defensible-space and fuel-reduction work with a planned debris container.

Manage approved plant material, fencing, and project debris during yard improvements.

15 Yard or 20 Yard?
Both containers are approximately 12 feet long by 8 feet wide. The 15-yard has walls about 4.2 feet high; the 20-yard about 5.6 feet, providing more volume.
15 Yard
A lower-wall option for smaller brush, landscape, fence, and seasonal cleanup projects where hand-loading convenience matters.
20 Yard
The better volume choice for acreage cleanup, extensive brush removal, bulky branches, and larger wildfire-mitigation projects.
Material matters: Dirt, rock, sod, stumps, logs, hot ash, and mixed loads require advance approval and may not be accepted in a standard yard-waste rental. Review the rental and debris rules or call before loading anything unusually dense or regulated.
A Better Drop Starts With a Better Plan.
Describe the Debris
Branches and brush are different from dirt, sod, rock, stumps, or mixed household waste.
Cut Long Material Down
Shorter branches stack more efficiently and are less likely to extend above the top rail.
Keep Prohibited Material Out
Do not include chemicals, fuel, batteries, hot ash, or other hazardous material.
Plan for Mountain Access
Confirm road width, grade, overhead clearance, gate access, and a firm placement surface.
Yard Waste and Wildfire Mitigation Dumpster FAQ
Need a quick answer? Call or text (719) 203-2529.
Can branches and brush go in the dumpster?
Approved branches, brush, and yard-cleanup debris may be accepted. Describe the material before booking and cut long pieces so the load remains below the top rail.
Can I put dirt, rock, sod, or stumps in the same container?
Not without advance approval. Dense material and large stumps can create weight or disposal problems and may require separate handling.
Do you serve wildfire-mitigation projects in Teller County?
Merit serves Woodland Park and communities across Teller County, subject to address, road access, scheduling, and mileage. The customer or contractor remains responsible for the mitigation work itself.
Which size holds more branches?
