10 Yard Roll Off Dumpster Rentals

Black dumpster with blue trim, and dimensions of the unit (10' L x 8' W x 3.5' H)

Our 10-yard dumpster is ideal for small home or landscape clean-up and projects, as well as for the disposal of heavy materials such as roofing shingles. With a generous capacity of 10 cubic yards, this versatile dumpster provides ample space for a wide range of materials. From household debris, furniture, and appliances to construction and demolition waste, it’s designed to handle it all. The typical tonnage included is 2-3 tons, so if you are going to be using this unit to dispose of heavy materials, pay attention to the tonnage included and overage costs of each option. 

The 10-yard dumpster, which is the smallest size we provide, is perfect for disposing of heavy materials such as concrete, asphalt, or dirt. It is also suitable for projects that involve disposing of an amount of material roughly equivalent to four pickup truck loads. Some typical uses include, but aren’t limited to:

    • Remodeling and construction
      • Floor removal from a room
      • Half bathroom remodel
      • Remodeling kitchen countertops
    • Cleanouts
      • Decluttering a basement or one-car garage
      • Cleaning out an attic or 1-2 smaller bedrooms
    • Outdoor projects
      • Removing a patio or deck
      • Landscaping with tree/shrub removal

Please be sure to specify what materials you plan on putting in the unit so we can plan accordingly. For example, drywall and insulation material sometimes require proof it is asbestos-free, and some appliances/pieces of furniture require an extra fee paid to the landfill. 

Because of their smaller size, 10-yard dumpsters are popular for the disposal of heavy materials such as:

  • Concrete
  • Bricks
  • Clay, dirty, and rocks
  • Granite and tile
  • Gravel and sand
  • Logs and stumps 
  • Shingles and roofing materials

When placing an order, please be sure to specify what materials you will be disposing of so our team can plan appropriately and help avoid any delays or unforeseen additional costs. 

Additionally, if you plan to include concrete, sand, or dirt, please ensure that is the only material present, as it is often taken to a special waste recycling center. Please contact one of our expert advisors with any questions. 

Some examples of unacceptable materials include:

  • All liquids
  • Biomedical waste
  • Chemicals
  • Oils
  • Railroad ties
  • Tires

What are the dimensions of the 10-yard roll-off?

plus minus
The typical dimensions of a 10-yard roll-off are: 3.5’ H x 10’ L x 8’ W. While these exact dimensions may vary by company, the volume of the dumpster is always 10 cubic yards.

How do I know what size roll off dumpster I need?

plus minus
It depends on the size of your project and how much space you have to store the dumpster. Roll-off dumpster rental sizes are typically measured in cubic yards. The exterior dimensions of the dumpster are usually measured in feet. To find the volume of a dumpster you simply multiply the exterior dimensions of width, height and length in feet and then divide the final figure by 27 to determine total volume in cubic yards.

What happens if I overfill the dumpster?

plus minus
If debris is filled above the wall height or items are included in the container making the container overweight, you would be responsible for off-loading the container into another dumpster. This would force having to pay for another container and the labor involved with making the container safe to haul.

What can’t be placed in the roll off dumpster?

plus minus
We can not accept any type of hazardous waste such as pesticides, motor oil, freon, tires, etc. We ask that when placing the order, you disclose what you’re looking to dispose of so that we can advise of any potential issues. Including these items could result in additional fees and having to unload these items prior to removal.
