Do I need a permit for a dumpster in CO?

On your own driveway, almost never. On the street or any public right-of-way, usually yes, and the rules are set by the town, not the state. Ask the hauler first; companies that work a town daily know its rules and many pull the permit as part of the job.

What size dumpster should I rent in Colorado?

Companies here publish prices for 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard and 30 yard containers. Size is volume, but weight decides the bill. Every rental includes a fixed tonnage and anything over it is charged by the ton. Concrete or roofing hits the limit long before the container looks full.

How much does a dumpster cost in Colorado?

30 yard	$365 – $530	$450	19 companies

A 20-yard is the size most people rent, and in Colorado it runs a median of $382, with most companies between $350 and $426. That is 9% below the national median of $419. Most of the gap between states is disposal: haulers pay a landfill by the ton and those gate rates are local, so two companies an hour apart can quote very differently for the same container.
