10 Yard Dimensions
Note the length. At 12 ft this is the SHORTEST container in the fleet, two feet shorter than the other three, which is what makes it the one to ask for when the driveway is tight or there is a turn to get round.
What Fits In A 10 Yard
A 10 yard holds about 4 pickup truck loads, based on a standard 2.5 cubic yard bed. That is the honest way to picture it, because a raw cubic yard figure means very little until you have stood next to one.
- A single room stripped back to the studs
- A packed two car garage
- Shed and yard clearing
- Small bathroom strip out
- Furniture and general household waste

10 Yard Pricing
A typical 10 yard job comes to about $302.
That is the number most people want first, so here is where it comes from rather than an assertion you have to take on trust:
Delivery is $200 and covers 1 day. Weight is then $140 per ton, charged from a certified scale ticket that is attached to your invoice. no tonnage included and none wasted, so a light load genuinely costs less than a heavy one. Extra days are $5.
Our own average 10 yard load is 0.73 tons, about 1,460 pounds, which is where the figure above comes from. Full breakdown on the cost page.

10 Yard Questions
How big is a 10 yard dumpster?
A 10 yard holds 10 cubic yards, which is about 4 pickup truck loads, based on a standard 2.5 cubic yard bed. Exact outside dimensions vary between cans in the fleet, so we confirm the footprint for the container you are actually getting before it is delivered rather than publishing a figure that might not match.
If driveway space is tight, say so when you book. It is a two minute conversation and it is the difference between a clean drop and a wasted trip.
How many tons is a 10 yard dumpster?
no tonnage included and none wasted. That is deliberate rather than an oversight: you are charged $140 for each ton actually in the container when it crosses the scale. Our own average 10 yard load runs 0.73 tons, about 1,460 pounds.
Because no tonnage is bundled in, a light load genuinely costs less. That is the whole reason the model works this way.
