What Dimensions is a 10 Yard Dumpster

Our 10 yard dumpsters are usually 10 feet long, 7 feet wide and 4 feet tall. These dimensions can vary from one dumpster model to another. However, the capacity of the dumpster delivered will always be 10 cubic yards minimum.

How Much Can I Dispose Of in a 10 Cubic Yard Dumpster?

A 10 cubic yard dumpster is a great option for small to medium-sized projects. With a weight limit of 1 ton (2,000 pounds), it can typically hold about 50-70 standard 33-gallon trash bags (4 pickup truck loads). This size is perfect for handling debris from projects like attic cleanouts, minor home renovations, or yard waste removal.
It’s important not to overfill the dumpster. Exceeding the 1-ton limit can result in additional fees and may prevent us from safely transporting the dumpster. If you’re unsure about the weight of your materials, feel free to contact our team for guidance.

What Should I Do To Prepare For The Dumpster Deliver?

Some guidance on what do to prepare for your dumpster delivery is listed below.

  • Leave Enough Room: Ensure there is ample space on your property for the dumpster. This includes a flat, solid surface like a driveway or parking area. Make sure there’s enough room for the delivery truck to maneuver when dropping off the dumpster. Our driver will require 60 Feet of Straight Clearance and 10 feet of width in order to drop off your dumpster at your required spot.
  • Check Head Clearance: Look out for any overhanging obstacles, such as tree branches or power lines, that could interfere with the placement of the dumpster. Adequate head clearance of 24 feet is essential to avoid damage and ensure the dumpster can be safely positioned.
  • Don’t Wait Around: Be ready on the scheduled delivery day, but there’s no need to be on-site. Simply make sure the area is clear and accessible for the driver. We’ll handle the rest.
  • Check Your Waste Material: Review the types of waste you’ll be disposing of and ensure they comply with our guidelines and those of your local authority. Some materials, like hazardous waste, may require special handling or are not allowed in the dumpster. If you have questions, contact our team for clarification.
