10 Yard Dumpster
10 Yard Dumpster Rental
A 10 yard dumpster is the smallest standard size we offer, and it's the right call for a surprising number of projects. It holds roughly three pickup truck loads of debris, enough for a single-room cleanout, a small bathroom remodel, or a modest concrete or dirt removal job, without paying for space you won't use.

10 Yard Dumpster Specs
Dimensions & Capacity
What You Get
At approximately 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 3.5 feet high, a 10 yard dumpster fits comfortably on most driveways without taking up excessive space. Its compact footprint also makes it easier to place in tighter spots, like narrow driveways or properties with limited street access, compared to larger sizes.
This size typically includes a weight allowance of around 1 to 2 tons, which is worth keeping in mind if your project involves dense debris like concrete or brick. Even a small amount of heavy material can approach this size's weight limit well before the container looks full, so a 10 yard dumpster is best suited to lighter debris or modest amounts of heavy material rather than a full driveway's worth of concrete.
Why Choose This Size
Built For These Projects
Small Cleanouts
Single-room cleanouts, closets, and light decluttering projects.

Pricing
What It Costs
A 10 yard dumpster typically costs $300 to $400 for a standard 7 to 10 day rental, depending on your location and debris type. See our Dumpster Rental Cost Guide for a full breakdown, or use Advisor for exact pricing at your address.
If your project is larger than a single room, or you're not sure a 10 yard will have enough room, our 12 and 15 yard dumpsters offer a bit more capacity without a major jump in footprint. Advisor can help confirm whether a 10 yard is the right fit for your specific project, or whether sizing up makes more sense.

What projects is a 10 yard dumpster best for?

What's the weight limit for a 10 yard dumpster?
A 10 yard dumpster typically includes a weight allowance of around 1 to 2 tons. Dense materials like concrete or brick can approach this limit quickly, so this size is best for lighter debris or modest amounts of heavy material rather than a large concrete job.
Will a 10 yard dumpster fit on my driveway?
Most standard driveways can accommodate a 10 yard dumpster comfortably, since it's the most compact standard size. Its smaller footprint also makes it a good option for tighter spaces or properties with limited street access.
How do I know if I need a bigger size than 10 yards?
If your project involves more than a single room, a full garage, or a significant amount of debris, a 12 or 15 yard dumpster may be a better fit. Use Advisor for a personalized recommendation based on your specific project.
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Most rentals include seven to ten days of usage, which is typically more than enough time for the small-scale projects this size is built for. If you need more time, local haulers generally offer an affordable daily extension rather than requiring a new rental.
How many pickup truck loads does a 10 yard dumpster hold?
A 10 yard dumpster holds roughly three pickup truck loads of debris. This makes it easy to visualize capacity if you're used to estimating projects by how many truck trips they'd take to a landfill or dump.
Can I put concrete in a 10 yard dumpster?
Yes, in modest amounts. Because concrete is dense, even a small load can approach this size's 1 to 2 ton weight allowance well before the container looks full. A 10 yard dumpster works for small concrete jobs like a walkway, but larger concrete projects may need a different approach to weight.
How fast can I get a 10 yard dumpster delivered?
Many areas offer same-day or next-day delivery for a 10 yard dumpster, since it's our most commonly stocked size. Enter your address into Advisor to see real delivery estimates and availability before you book.
