Is a 10-Yard the Right Size?

A 10-yard is right for

  • A single-room cleanout or a small remodel
  • A garage or shed clear-out
  • Concrete, dirt, or brick, where weight runs out before the space does

A 10-yard is wrong for

  • A whole-house cleanout
  • A full roof tear-off
  • Anything with a lot of bulky furniture, you'll fill it on volume first

What a 10-Yard Dumpster Is Really For

The 10-yard is the dumpster we send when weight is the problem, not space. Concrete, dirt, brick, and block hit the weight limit long before they fill a bigger dumpster, so heavy material almost always goes in a 10 at its own rate. It's also the right size for a single-room cleanout or a small remodel.

At 12 feet long it's the shortest dumpster in the fleet, so it fits driveways the bigger sizes can't. The walls are 4 feet, low enough to load over the side without a ramp.

Will a 10-Yard Fit in My Driveway?

The 10 is the easy one. At 12 feet it's shorter than most parked cars, so it sits on a standard driveway with room to spare. The 4-foot walls are low enough to load over the side instead of walking everything through the back.

What Fills a 10-Yard Before the Weight Does

Normal cleanout junk usually fills the 10 before it gets near a ton. Shingles, plaster, and tile are the loads that hit the limit early, so mention those up front. Concrete and dirt don't go in this dumpster at all, they get their own at a weight rate.

10-Yard Dumpster Questions

What people ask us before they book. The full FAQ has the rest.

What are the dimensions of a 10-yard dumpster?

The 10-yard is 12 ft long, 8 ft wide, 4 ft tall. It holds about 4 pickup truck loads and includes 1 ton of weight.

What fits in a 10-yard dumpster?

The 10-yard is right for a single-room cleanout or a small remodel. If you're between sizes, go up one, it beats filling this one and renting twice.

How much does a 10-yard dumpster cost in Columbia?

The 10-yard isn't priced as one posted number, it's quoted exactly: open the booking page and yours is there, or call (803) 408-9990.

How long do I get the 10-yard for?

14 days, same as every size. A garage cleanout rarely uses half of that, so the 10-yard almost never runs into the deadline. If it does, tell us and we'll work out the extra days.

Where do you deliver 10-yard dumpsters?

Everywhere we run: Columbia, the Midlands, and out to Sumter, Florence, Aiken, and Greenville. No size is limited to certain towns. See the service areas.

Will a 10-yard dumpster fit in my driveway?

Almost always. At 12 ft long it's one of the easiest sizes to place, and the low walls make it easy to load over the side too.

Can I put concrete or dirt in a 10-yard?

Yes. Heavy material like concrete and dirt goes in a smaller dumpster at its own rate, and the 10-yard is in that range, so mention it on the phone and we'll set it up as a weight-rate rental.
