How Big Is a 10 Yard Dumpster? (10 Yard Dumpster Measurements)
Picture a box the size of a small garage floor, about 12 feet by 8 feet, standing roughly waist to chest high at 3.5 feet; those are the 10 yard dumpster measurements you will see quoted everywhere. That footprint makes it the right pick for anyone who wants to rent 10 yard dumpster space for a single-room cleanout, a small deck tear-off, or a garage purge. If you are weighing sizes side by side, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page lays out the 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard boxes next to each other. Not sure the 10 yard box covers your pile? The how many porta potties do i need guide is for restrooms, but our crews size dumpsters the same way, by walking the job first. For a bathroom remodel or a small yard cleanup in Glendale, this size usually wins over the bigger 20 yard dumpster rental or 30 yard dumpster rental options because you are not paying for space you will not fill. Homeowners doing a home renovation porta potty project often add this dumpster to the same order, and contractors managing a bigger teardown lean toward construction dumpster rental instead.
What Does a 10 Yard Roll Off Dumpster Cost in Glendale?
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
A day rate on this 10 yard roll off dumpster covers a quick weekend cleanout; a weekly rate makes more sense for an ongoing renovation, whether you are hauling yard waste or a 10 yard trash dumpster full of demo debris. Delivery is billed separately, and that fee runs from 100 to 500 dollars depending on distance and timing, so ask what is included when you book. For a full cost breakdown across sizes, see dumpster rental cost, and if you are staging this alongside portable toilets for a crew, check porta potty rental cost too. Glendale customers near Sun City, about 9.1 miles northwest, or Tolleson, 9.7 miles southwest, still fall inside our normal delivery range, so distance rarely changes the quote much.
Can I Put Anything I Want in a 10 Yard Dumpster?
No. Certain materials are barred from any roll-off, including paints, tires, batteries and hazardous chemicals, and loading them can delay pickup or add fees. The full rundown lives on what cannot go in a dumpster, and weight caps are covered separately on dumpster weight limits, since overloading a 10 yard box is a common and costly mistake. Construction debris like drywall, wood and shingles is fine in most cases. If your project also involves job site cleanup under OSHA 1926.25, which requires scrap and debris to be cleared from work areas, a dumpster on site keeps that requirement easy to meet. Before you place the container, confirm placement, because sitting a dumpster in the public right of way in Glendale needs confirming with the city, and we can walk you through that when we schedule delivery. See dumpster permit requirements for what to check before drop-off.
Do I need a permit for a 10 yard dumpster in Glendale?
It depends on where the container sits. Placing it entirely on private property, like a driveway, typically avoids the question altogether. If it needs to sit on a street or curb in Glendale, that placement needs confirming with the city before delivery. Ask our team when you book and we will help you sort it out.
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Day, week and month terms are all available, and pricing scales with how long you keep it, as shown in the table above. Most cleanout projects wrap up within a week. Longer renovation jobs often switch to the monthly rate instead of paying repeated weekly charges.
What is the difference between a 10 yard and a 20 yard dumpster?
The 10 yard box is roughly half the volume of a 20, fitting tighter driveways and smaller loads. If you are unsure which to book, our dumpster sizes and dimensions page compares both side by side before you commit to either one.
Can I combine a dumpster with portable restrooms for one job?
Yes, and many Glendale contractors do exactly that for renovation and construction sites. Pair this dumpster with a unit from standard porta potty rental or check construction site services for a combined setup that covers both waste and restroom needs.
Does the price include delivery and pickup?
Not always. The rates above cover the dumpster itself, and delivery is a separate line item, generally 100 to 500 dollars depending on timing and distance. Ask for the full quote through request a quote so nothing surprises you on invoice day.
