Quick Answer: Griffin Waste and Bin There Dump That charge almost identical fees — same overage rate, same extra-day rate. The real difference is size range: Griffin runs 10 yard bins only, and pairs two of them for larger jobs.
• Griffin: 10 yard only, 7-day rental, 2 tons included
• Their 20 yard option is two 10-yard bins at $600 for 7 days
• Our single 20 yard is $419 for 7 days with 2 tons
• Overage and extra-day fees are the same at both companies
Griffin Waste has been running dumpsters in Colorado Springs since 2002 and they are a genuinely good operator. Their fee structure is close enough to ours that price alone will not decide this. What will decide it is how big your project is.

The Real Difference: One Bin or Two
Griffin does not run a 20 yard container. For a bigger project they deliver two 10 yard bins, which they advertise at $600 for a 7-day rental. Our single 20 yard is $419 for the same 7 days.
That is a $181 difference, but the money is not the whole story. Two bins means two footprints in your driveway, splitting your load as you go, and remembering which one still has room. One 20 yard means you throw everything in one place.
The flip side is genuine: two bins can be placed separately. On a property where you are working two areas at once, or where one driveway will not hold a 20, that flexibility is worth something.
Where Griffin Is the Better Choice
Your project genuinely fits a 10 yard. Their bin is well-regarded, their pricing is flat and transparent, and they include 7 days as standard where our 7-day option costs more than the 3-day. On a small job with a long timeline, that can come out ahead.
You want two bins in two places. They are set up for it. We would deliver two bins too, but if the two-bin approach is what you want, it is their default rather than an exception.
Twenty-plus years in this market. They have been doing this a long time and it shows in how they operate.
Where We Are the Better Choice
Your project is bigger than a 10 yard. One 20 yard at $419 versus two 10s at $600, in one footprint instead of two.
You want a 15. It is the size most renovations actually need, and it does not exist in Griffin's lineup. Our 15 yard covers the middle ground.
You need a shorter rental. Our 3-day option starts at $339. If your project is a weekend, you are not paying for a week.
Driveway protection. Boards under every bin, every delivery, standard.
What Is the Same
Worth saying plainly, because it means you can stop comparing on it: overage is $100 per ton at both companies, and extra days are $25 at both. Both of us are local and family-run. Neither of us is going to surprise you with a fuel surcharge on a normal Colorado Springs address.
