10 yard dumpster at a glance
Dimensions are typical for this size. Exact container dimensions vary slightly. We'll confirm yours when you call.
What a 10 yard dumpster is good for
- Garage or storage room cleanouts for a one- or two-car garage
- Small bathroom remodels: vanity, toilet, tile and drywall from one room
- Concrete, brick, dirt and rock. Heavy debris hits the weight limit long before the container is full, so a small container is the right tool. See concrete and dirt dumpsters.
- Yard cleanups: palm fronds, shrub removal, a small section of gravel or turf
- Small flooring jobs: carpet and pad from 2 to 3 rooms
When to size up
If you're clearing more than a garage, pulling out a kitchen, or removing furniture from several rooms, a 10 yard will likely be too small. Paying for a second haul costs more than the price difference to the next size. Compare the 15 yard and 20 yard dumpsters.
Loading tips
- Break down furniture and flatten boxes. Empty air is what fills small dumpsters fastest.
- Put heavy, flat items on the bottom and bulky items on top.
- Keep everything level with or below the top rail. Overfilled containers can't be hauled legally.
- No paint, batteries, tires or chemicals. Here's the full list.

How much weight can a 10 yard dumpster hold?
Each rental includes a weight allowance that depends on your debris type. Heavy material like concrete or dirt has its own rules. Call (602) 595-7860 and we'll confirm the allowance for your project.
Will a 10 yard dumpster fit in my driveway?
Almost always. It has the smallest footprint of any roll-off, about 14 by 7.5 feet. The truck also needs room to back in and tilt the container off, so keep the approach clear.
Can I put concrete in a 10 yard dumpster?
Yes. The 10 yard is the usual choice for concrete, brick, dirt and rock because of the weight. Heavy loads may need to be filled only partway. We'll tell you the limit when you book.
