Landscape Waste Dumpster Guide – EZ Roll-Off Colorado Springs

Turning your backyard into a clean, functional outdoor space starts with removing the mess. But when your project includes heavy debris like dirt, sod, and tree branches, you can’t just toss it in the regular trash. Colorado Springs and surrounding areas like Black Forest, Peyton, and Monument have specific disposal rules—and ignoring them can mean fines or rejected loads.

If you're planning a landscaping overhaul, here’s how to dispose of yard waste legally and efficiently using a roll-off dumpster.

Know What Yard Waste You Can Dump

Landscaping projects often create multiple waste types at once—soil, grass, shrubbery, tree limbs, old timber, and more. But not all of it can go in a dumpster the same way.

Here’s what you can usually load in a dumpster from EZ Roll-Off Services:

• Clean yard waste: branches, leaves, hedge trimmings

• Sod and grass: separated from plastic, netting, or other synthetic material

• Dirt and soil: allowed, but limits apply depending on weight

• Small stumps or logs: call for size/weight limitations

• Bagged debris: avoid using plastic bags, which aren’t compostable

Heavy materials like soil and sod can exceed dumpster weight limits quickly. If you're filling up with dense items, it’s smart to ask about weight guidelines upfront.

Tip: If you’re not sure whether something can go in your dumpster, call EZ Roll-Off Services at (719) 492-2292. or email ez.roll.off53@gmail.com

Avoiding Fines: Local Rules for Yard Waste Disposal

Many people don’t realize that yard waste can’t just be dumped like regular trash. Colorado Springs and El Paso County have landfill rules that limit what can be accepted—and how.

Here’s how to stay compliant:

• Keep yard waste clean – no trash, plastic, or treated lumber

• Separate heavy materials like dirt and rocks from general debris

• No hazardous waste – pesticides, fertilizers, or treated wood are not allowed

• Avoid mixing loads – blended materials can result in landfill rejection

When in doubt, call EZ Roll-Off. Their team is familiar with local dumping guidelines and can help you load your dumpster the right way.

Pro Tips for Efficient Yard Waste Disposal

1. Don’t Overload the Dumpster
Overfilling past the rim is not allowed. Especially with sod or dirt, you can hit the weight cap fast.

2. Load Evenly
Distribute weight throughout the dumpster to avoid tipping issues during pickup.

3. Skip the Plastic Bags
Loose yard waste is easier and cheaper to dump than bagged trash.

4. Check Pickup Access
Make sure the dumpster has space for drop-off and pickup. Keep driveways and gates clear.

5. Book in Advance
Busy seasons like spring and fall can book up fast. Reserve your dumpster early.
