A 10 yard dumpster measures about 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and just under 4 feet tall, holding roughly 4,000 pounds of debris before you hit weight limits. In South Suffolk, day rentals typically run $51 to $112, with the full week costing more, and if you rent a 10 yard dumpster for a longer stretch, the monthly porta potty rental page shows how sanitation billing works the same way. It's the right size for a single-room cleanout or a small deck tear-off.
South Suffolk Porta Pros delivers this size across town for garage cleanouts, roof tear-offs and small renovation jobs, and customers who rent 10 yard dumpster units often add a unit from our portable toilet rental lineup for crew use during the job. If you're not sure a 10 yarder fits your job, our roll-off dumpster rental page walks through the full lineup, and dumpster sizes and dimensions breaks down how the 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard boxes stack up against each other.
A 10 yard roll off dumpster holds about 10 cubic yards of material, which translates to roughly three pickup truck loads, making it the standard 10 cubic yard dumpster choice for single-room jobs, and if you're also staffing the site, our how many porta potties do I need guide covers crew sizing. The typical footprint is 12 feet by 8 feet, standing under 4 feet tall, so these 10-yard dumpster dimensions fit in a driveway without swallowing the whole yard, and these 10 yard dumpster measurements hold steady across most 10 yard dumpster sizes offered around South Suffolk, similar to how a standard porta potty rental unit keeps a predictable footprint on site. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point to place the container safely, which matters if you're on a tighter South Suffolk lot or a street with parked cars. If your driveway is short or your street is narrow, check our porta potty placement guide for the same clearance logic applied to sanitation units, or call ahead so we can look at your specific access before delivery day.
For jobs bigger than a single cleanout, our 20 yard dumpster rental and 30 yard dumpster rental pages cover the next sizes up, our 40 yard dumpster rental page covers the largest option, and construction dumpster rental is built for active job sites with daily debris, often paired with a temporary fence rental to keep the site secured overnight.
Pricing depends on how long you keep the box and how full it gets. Here's what the market looks like right now:
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
A weekend rental runs a bit above the day rate since it covers Friday drop to Monday pickup. Delivery fees are usually separate; expect a service fee on top depending on distance from South Suffolk and how quickly you need it there, whether you rent 10 yard dumpster service alone or bundle it with a handwashing station rental for the crew. For a full cost breakdown across every size, see dumpster rental cost, and if you're weighing a dumpster against portable toilets for the same job budget, our porta potty rental cost page runs the same math for sanitation.
Placement in the public right of way, meaning on the street rather than your driveway, needs confirming with the city before delivery. We haven't verified a specific South Suffolk ordinance number for dumpster permits, so don't assume none is needed. Our dumpster permit requirements page covers what to ask the city and what documentation to have ready, and the same right-of-way question comes up on our porta potty permit requirements page. If you're renovating a home and adding a dumpster alongside a home renovation porta potty, it's worth checking both permit questions in the same call to the city.
Paints, solvents, tires, batteries and most electronics are typically excluded from standard roll-off loads. Our what cannot go in a dumpster page lists the common exclusions in detail. Ask before loading anything you're unsure about; contamination fees add up fast, the same way our septic pumping service crew will flag anything that shouldn't go down a drain.
Weight limits vary by hauler and material type, generally landing around 2 to 4 tons for this size. Heavy debris like concrete or shingles fills the weight limit long before the box looks full. See dumpster weight limits for specifics by material, and if you're storing materials rather than disposing of them, our storage container rental page may fit better.
Most rentals run by the day, weekend, week or month, based on the pricing table above. Extending is usually possible if you call before the pickup date. Longer jobs near Carrsville or Franklin sometimes need extra lead time for scheduling.
Driveway placement is generally simpler than street placement, but confirm with South Suffolk directly since rules vary by property and neighborhood.
Yes, plenty of renovation and construction customers order both together, sometimes adding a restroom trailer rental instead of a standard unit for larger crews. Ask about bundled delivery to save on separate service fees; see construction site services for combined job-site packages.
