10 Yard Dumpster Rental
The smallest common roll-off size, ideal for contained projects where debris volume is limited but you still need more capacity than a few trash cans.
Is a 10 Yard Dumpster Right for Your Project?
A 10 yard dumpster holds roughly the equivalent of 3–4 pickup truck loads of debris. It's a popular choice for:
- Single-room cleanouts or decluttering
- Small bathroom remodels
- Garage or shed cleanouts
- Yard debris from a moderate landscaping project
- Deck removal (small to mid-size decks)
Because of its compact footprint, a 10 yard container is also a good fit for driveways or job sites with limited space.
What Fits in a 10 Yard Dumpster?
As a rough guide, a 10 yard container can typically handle debris from a single room remodel, a garage cleanout, or a small deck (roughly 500 square feet) tear-off. Actual capacity depends on how dense the material is — a truckload of drywall weighs far more than the same volume of bulky, lightweight furniture.
Weight Considerations
Most 10 yard rentals include an allowance in the range of 1–2 tons, though this varies by provider and local disposal rates. Heavier materials like concrete, dirt, or roofing shingles can fill the weight limit well before the container looks full — see our pricing guide for more on how weight-based pricing works.
Typical price range: $300–$450 for a standard rental period, before regional variation. See our pricing guide for what affects your exact quote.
If You Need More Room
If your project involves a full-house cleanout or multiple rooms, consider stepping up to a 15 yard or 20 yard container to avoid needing a second haul.
