About the 10 Yard Dumpster
The 10-yard dumpster is the most compact roll-off container we offer, and the one most homeowners need. At just 3.5 feet tall and 12 feet long, it sits low to the ground and slides into a standard driveway without blocking your garage or your cars.
It holds about 10 cubic yards of debris: roughly three full-size pickup truck loads, or the contents of one to two average rooms. That makes it the go-to size for a focused weekend project: a garage cleanout, a single-bathroom remodel, a flooring tear-out, or a seasonal yard cleanup.
Because it's low-walled, it's also the easiest size to load. You can toss items over the side or roll a wheelbarrow up to it without a ramp. One flat, all-inclusive price covers delivery, your rental period, pickup, and disposal.
How much fits?
- ~3 pickup truck loads of debris
- ≈ 50-70 trash bags of household trash

Step up to a 15 or 20-yard if you're clearing a whole house, doing a multi-room remodel, or tearing off a roof. Debris adds up faster than people expect.
Placement & Driveway Fit
- Fits a standard residential driveway, about the footprint of a parking space.
- Sits low (3.5 ft), so it's easy to load and unobtrusive.
- We can place it on the driveway or street (a permit may be needed for street placement, ask us).
- Lay down plywood if you want extra protection for delicate driveway surfaces.
- Keep ~60 feet of clearance for the delivery truck to drop and retrieve it.

Everything you need to know before renting a 10 yard dumpster.
A 10-yard dumpster typically costs $390 to $595, all-inclusive of delivery, a 7-day rental, pickup, and disposal of your 1-ton weight allowance, with no hidden fees. Your exact price depends on your location and debris type. Enter your ZIP code or call us for an exact quote in minutes.
Every 10-yard rental includes a 1-ton (2,000 lb) weight allowance, which is plenty for household debris, furniture, and most cleanouts. If you're disposing of heavier material like concrete, dirt, or shingles, just let us know when you book and we'll be happy to help set you up with more weight.
Yes, in almost all cases. It's about 12 ft long, 8 ft wide, and just 3.5 ft tall, roughly the footprint of a parking space. It fits standard driveways and usually leaves room for a vehicle in a two-car driveway.
About 10 cubic yards: roughly 3 pickup truck loads, 50-70 trash bags, or the contents of 1-2 average rooms. Bulky furniture fills it faster, so size up if you're clearing a whole home.
Most household junk, furniture, mattresses, carpet and flooring, drywall and remodeling debris, yard waste, wood, and non-refrigerant appliances. Hazardous materials, tires, batteries, refrigerants, and wet paint are not allowed. Just ask us if you're unsure about a specific item.
The standard rental period is 7 days, which is plenty for most small projects. Need it longer? Extensions are available. Just ask when you book or give us a call.
Same-day delivery is available in most areas when you order before noon local time; otherwise next-day is standard. Tell us your ZIP and we'll confirm the soonest drop-off.
No. As long as we know exactly where to place it and the spot is clear and accessible, you don't need to be home. We'll send confirmation when it's delivered.
Yes, but heavy materials reach the 1-ton weight allowance before the container is physically full. If your load is mostly concrete, brick, dirt, or shingles, let us know and we'll help you with the right weight allowance so there are no surprises.
If the dumpster sits on your private driveway, usually no. If it needs to go on a public street, your city may require a permit. We can walk you through it. Just ask when you order.
