The Story Behind Colorado Springs Dumpster Rental

Mark Ellison grew up in Colorado Springs and started the company to fill a gap he saw while working construction jobs across El Paso County. He noticed crews hauling materials out of older neighborhoods like Old Colorado City and Broadmoor often struggled with tight alleys and steep driveways, so he built a fleet sized for those exact conditions rather than generic trucks.

The semi-arid high-plains climate here means hot, dry summers that bake the ground around Pikes Peak and Cheyenne Mountain, followed by cold winters that bring snow and ice to streets in Briargate and Rockrimmon. Mark's crews know how to stage dumpsters on frozen or sloped lots without damaging pavement or getting stuck, and they adjust drop schedules when afternoon storms roll through Manitou Springs or Fountain.

Today the operation runs from the Corporate Drive location with phones answered Monday through Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday mornings until 2pm. Mark still oversees most commercial Dumpster Rental placements near the United States Air Force Academy and Olympic Training Center, making sure containers fit the site and get swapped on time.

I grew up in Colorado Springs and spent years on construction crews working sites from Old Colorado City to Briargate before starting this company. The older housing stock in places like Manitou Springs and the newer builds near the United States Air Force Academy and Cheyenne Mountain create steady demand for cleanouts and debris removal. Our semi-arid high-plains climate brings hot summers that speed up certain jobs and cold winters that can limit access on hilly terrain around Garden of the Gods or Pikes Peak, so I schedule around those realities. We also serve nearby spots in Security-Widefield, Fountain, and Pueblo when projects cross El Paso County lines.
