How Much Can a 10 Yard Dumpster Hold? and Is It Right for my Project?

A 10 yard dumpster holds quite a bit more than a dump trailer or pickup truck for waste removal and is the more economical choice for a variety of projects. Depending on the manufacturer, dimensions can vary but our 10 YD dumpster is 8 feet wide, 12 feet in length and 5 feet tall. The perfect size to fit in your driveway or parking spot at your business and hold all the waste and debris you need hauled off.

Ross Waste Dumpster Size

The smaller 10 Yard open top is a great choice for disposing of heavy material to avoid overfilling and causing the container to become too heavy to haul.

For example a 10 Yard dumpster can hold around:

  • 50-70 contractor sized trash bags (33 gallon)

  • 100 Standard trash bags

  • 2,000 square feet of flooring removal

  • Around 2 cubic yards of debris from concrete removal (4 tons of weight)

  • 250 square feet of deck or fencing

  • 1500-2000 square feet of shingle tear off from roofing jobs

  • One sofa, one loveseat and a few additional small items of furniture removal

Renting a 10 YD dumpster makes sense for many smaller projects and remodels around your home or business for any of the projects listed below:

For example, 10 yard dumpsters are great for:

  • Cleaning out a garage, shed, or attic

  • Shed or gazebo demolition

  • Yard waste clean up

  • Fence or deck removal

  • Removal of roofing shingles

  • Kitchen or bathroom remodels

  • Carpeting and flooring removal andso much more!
