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

A 10 yard dumpster is able to hold quite a bit more than a dump trailer or bed of a 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 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 square feet of shingle tear off from roofing jobs

  • One sofa, one loveseat and a few additional small items from 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

  • Small kitchen or bathroom remodels

  • Carpeting and flooring removal andso much more!
