Dumpsters, Temporary Storage, and Port-a-lets:
The Columbine Valley Municipal Code prohibits temporary dumpsters, storage units, and portable toilets anywhere within the Town right-of-way. Any use or application of these for private use must be kept on an individuals private property.
Portable Toilets: Prior to the commencement of construction of any residential or commercial building on any building site, an enclosed portable toilet shall be utilized until indoor facilities are available for use.
Dumpsters: Prior to the commencement of construction of any residential or commercial building on any building site, and after the issuance of a demolition/building permit, a dumpster of sufficient size shall be placed on the site in a location approved by the Town’s building department.
All temporary toilets and dumpsters shall be removed from the site prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or upon the expiration of a building permit, whichever occurs first.
In instances where a building permit is not required, a property owner may utilize dumpsters, storage units or portable toilets as follows:
- The property owner must obtain a cost-free permit from the town.
- The unit must remain on private property. Units may not be placed on the street or in the Town’s right-of-way.
- The unit is only permitted to be on site for 30 days or less.
There are no variances or exceptions to these rules available. For more information, please review TB #1 2022.
