The cost of a 10 yard dumpster rental can vary by location because disposal and operating expenses are different in every market. Local landfill fees are one of the biggest factors, as they depend on the type and weight of debris being disposed of. Transportation also plays a role, since dumpsters must be delivered, hauled away, and emptied at approved facilities, making fuel costs, travel distance, and traffic conditions important considerations.

Labor costs, regional regulations, and permit requirements may also affect dumpster rental pricing, particularly in larger cities with stricter waste disposal guidelines. In addition, heavier materials like construction debris or roofing materials require different handling than lighter household junk, which can influence overall service costs. Because these factors change from one area to another, dumpster rental pricing is based on local conditions rather than dumpster size alone.

If you’re planning a cleanup or construction project and aren’t sure what size dumpster you need, call our team today and we’ll walk you through the process step by step. We’ll help you choose the right dumpster, explain how the rental works, and make sure you get a solution that fits your project and service area.

10 yard dumpsters typically measure 11 feet long by 7.5 feet wide by 3.5 feet tall. The exact dimensions may vary, but the overall capacity and volume of each 10 yard dumpster rental is the same.

A 10 yard dumpster can hold 10 cubic yards of material, or 5 pickup truck loads. Most 10 yard dumpster rentals typically include a 1-2 ton weight limit (2,000-4,000 pounds). However, this can vary by location and debris type – give us a call to learn more about dumpster weight limits in your area.

The average rental period ranges from 7-10 days, though the exact length of your rental period may vary. Some locations offer dumpster rentals as short as 3-5 days, and many offer extended rentals for long-term projects.

Delivery Guidelines

Once you’ve ordered your 10 yard dumpster rental, here are a few tips to make sure we’ll be able to complete your delivery:

Make room: We’ll need about 60 feet of space (in length) in your driveway to drop off the dumpster. Move cars or any other obstructions that would prevent the truck from getting access to the driveway.
Look up: The truck will also need 23 feet of vertical clearance to raise the dumpster and place it. Be sure the area is clear of low-hanging wires and branches.
Don’t wait: Dumpster deliveries are based on the most fuel-efficient routes, so your dumpster can arrive at any time throughout the day. Don’t worry, though, you don’t have to be there at the time of delivery.
Be mindful: As you fill your dumpster, keep in mind your approved materials and the bin’s weight limit.
