How big is a 10-yard dumpster?
A 10-yard dumpster measures about 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet tall on the outside. The 10-yard dumpster holds 10 cubic yards, about 4 pickup-truck loads. Every rental includes 2 tons of debris, 7 days, delivery and pickup.
| Spec | 10-yard dumpster |

What fits in a 10-yard dumpster?
A 10-yard dumpster fits about 4 pickup loads of debris, which is one small room torn out or a load of heavy material. Typical 10-yard jobs are a bathroom gut, a broken-up patio slab, dirt from regrading a flowerbed, or carpet and pad from two or three bedrooms.
These are typical examples. Your load depends on how well it is broken down and packed.
- A 5 × 8 ft bathroom gut: tub or shower, toilet, vanity, tile and drywall.
- A small patio or walkway: broken concrete, kept to the halfway line.
- Dirt or rock from landscaping: soil, sod or gravel, clean and unmixed.
- Flooring tear-out: carpet and pad from 2 to 3 bedrooms.
Light, bulky loads such as furniture usually need more room. A garage cleanout fits the 15-yard dumpster better.

A 10-yard dumpster includes 2 tons, or 4,000 pounds. Weight over 2 tons costs $75 per ton, charged by the exact pound from the landfill scale ticket. Heavy debris reaches 2 tons fast, which is why concrete, dirt and brick only fill the 10-yard dumpster halfway.
Here is a worked example for a broken-concrete load. The truck is weighed full (gross), then empty (tare). The difference is your debris.
- Net debris: 4,500 lb = 2.25 tons.
- Included in the 10-yard: 2 tons.
- Over: 0.25 tons × $75 = $18.75.
Materials that most often push a 10-yard over: concrete, wet dirt, brick, tile and plaster. Rain soaks into dirt and adds weight, so cover an open load if storms are coming.

Will a 10-yard dumpster fit in your driveway?
A 10-yard dumpster fits most single-car driveways. The 10-yard dumpster needs a flat spot about 12 feet long and 8 feet wide. The truck needs about 60 feet of straight approach and about 23 feet of clear space overhead to tip the dumpster off.
Our drivers set wood boards under the steel rails so the dumpster doesn't crack or scrape concrete. Keep the spot clear of cars, low wires and locked gates. A blocked drop costs a $125 dry-run fee.
See tips for tight spots in the driveway placement guide.
Is a 10-yard too small for your job?
A 10-yard dumpster is too small when the debris is light and bulky, like furniture, cabinets or a whole room of drywall. The 15-yard dumpster holds about 2 more pickup loads and 2.5 tons. A second 10-yard haul is a new rental, so size up when the debris is light.
| 10-yard | 15-yard | |
|---|---|---|
| Outside size | 12 × 8 × 3.5 ft | 16 × 7.5 × 4.5 ft |
| Pickup loads | About 4 | About 6 |
| Weight included | 2 tons | 2.5 tons |
| Heavy debris | Allowed, halfway up | Allowed, halfway up |
| Pick it when | Debris is heavy or the job is one room | Debris is bulky or the job is a garage |
Guessing too small means a swap, billed as a second rental. Guessing too big costs you only the size difference on one rental. For heavy debris, stay with the 10-yard, because the fill line limits what any size can take.
What can't go in a 10-yard dumpster?
Hazardous chemicals, wet paint and batteries can't go in a 10-yard dumpster. Tires, mattresses and appliances with Freon go in for $50 each. Concrete and dirt can go in, but only as a clean, unmixed load filled halfway, so the truck stays within highway weight limits.
A clean load of only concrete or only dirt can qualify for special clean-fill pricing. Ask for it when you call. See the full item list or the concrete and dirt dumpster rules.
10-yard dumpster questions
How much concrete fits in a 10-yard dumpster?
Concrete fills a 10-yard dumpster only halfway up the walls, because a full box of concrete would be too heavy for the road. A small patio or walkway usually fits one load. Anything over the 2 included tons is $75 per ton, by the pound.
Is a 10-yard big enough for a bathroom remodel?
One bathroom gut usually fits a 10-yard dumpster: tub, toilet, vanity, tile and drywall. Two bathrooms, or a bathroom plus flooring from other rooms, fits better in the 15-yard dumpster.
Can I mix dirt and trash in a 10-yard?
You can mix them, but the load then loses clean-fill pricing and is billed as regular mixed debris. Keep dirt or concrete separate if you want the clean-load rate.
How tall is a 10-yard dumpster to throw debris over?
The 10-yard dumpster walls are about 3.5 feet tall, about waist high on most adults. That low height makes it the easiest size to load by hand with heavy pieces.
Can I keep a 10-yard longer than a week?
The 10-yard rental includes 7 days. Each extra day is $25, and you can add days with a phone call before your pickup date.
