FAQs About 10 Yard Weight Limits & Permits
How Much Does a 10 Yard Dumpster Hold?
A 10 yard roll off dumpster will always hold 10 cubic yards of debris. This is the equivalent of:
- Three pickup tuck loads
- 50 to 70 large 33-gallon trash bags
- 270 cubic feet
Will My 10 Yard Dumpster Have a Weight Limit?
Yes, all our roll off dumpsters have a weight limit included in your rate. A 10 yard bin has an average weight limit of 2 to 3 tons, or 4,000 to 6,000 pounds. For reference, our small dumpster rental can hold about:
- 48 to 72 bundles of roofing shingles
- 50 to 70 4x8 sheets of drywall
- 2,500 to 3,500 square feet of carpeting
Keep in mind the weight of your debris adds up quickly. The maximum weight a 10 yard container can safely hold is 10 tons.
What if I Go Over the Weight Limit?
If you go over your dumpster’s weight limit, you’ll receive a per-ton overage fee. We measure the extra weight and charge you a pro-rated, per-ton fee so you only pay for the amount of debris you toss.
Where Can I Put a 10 Yard Dumpster Rental?
Keep your roll-off container on a flat, paved surface close to your workspace, such as your driveway, jobsite, or the street. Your designated drop-off spot must be:
- At least 60 feet long
- 23 to 25 feet of unobstructed vertical clearance (no hanging branches or low power lines)
- Clear of obstacles like parked cars and equipment
- Easily accessible. Please unlock any gates or provide entry codes to our driver
Do I Need a Permit for a 10 Yard Dumpster?
Most 10 yard dumpsters can fit in a standard driveway or jobsite. If you keep your bin on private property, you typically don’t need a permit. But if you plan to keep your 10 yard dumpster in the street, you may need a permit from your local municipality ahead of time. Dumpster permits can cost between $10 to $100 a week. There may only be a one-time fee, and sometimes there is no charge for a dumpster permit.

Dropped off & picked up in a timely manner. The drivers were excellent! They somehow managed to back that huge truck up our long driveway (which is also uphill btw) & and they didn't even touch our grass! We were really worried about damage to our lawn or our neighbors. I thought they were reasonable in pricing too. Ryan was who I worked with over the phone and he was very helpful and kind! Great customer service!

How long is the dumpster rental period?
The typical length of our dumpster rental period is seven to 10 days, but this may vary depending on your area. You can request a pickup at any time during this period. If you need to keep your bin longer, we may be able to extend your rental period for a flat daily rate. Our all-inclusive rates include the cost of your dumpster, delivery, pickup and a flexible rental period.
Can I rent more than one container at a time?
Yes, you can rent as many dumpsters as needed for your project. Order multiple bins for delivery to the same location or different jobsites. Need a second dumpster but don’t have the space? Use our empty-and-return service. We regularly partner with contractors and businesses that need several dumpsters for their cleanup. Our team is here to support you with all your jobsite essentials across multiple locations.
What's the smallest roll off dumpster size I can rent?
The smallest roll off dumpster you can rent is a 10 yard dumpster rental. If you need a smaller, permanent container for your business, check out our commercial dumpster sizes. Available front load sizes include 2, 4, 6 and 8 yard containers.
How much does a 10 yard dumpster cost per week?
The weekly cost of your dumpster rental depends on several factors, but when you rent with us, you’ll receive an all-inclusive price that includes a flexible rental period. The bulk of your rental price comes from the size you rent and the weight of the materials you’re tossing, not how long you keep the dumpster.
Is a 10 yard dumpster cheaper than other sizes?
Not necessarily. Though a 10 yard dumpster is the smallest roll off dumpster size, your final price is determined by the type and weight of your debris. For example, if you throw 3 tons of roofing shingles in a 10 yard dumpster, that dumpster may cost more than a 12 yard dumpster that contains only 2 tons of yard waste. If you're worried about finding the best price for your project, our team of experts is here to talk you through the best options for your budget.
Will a couch fit in a 10 yard dumpster?
Yes, a standard three-seat couch measuring seven feet wide, 3.33 feet deep, and about 2.75 feet tall can fit in a 10 yard dumpster if laid flat.
Can I throw away electronics in a 10 yard dumpster?
No, you generally can’t throw electronics in a dumpster because they may contain hazardous materials. Most electronics are considered e-waste and must be disposed of at an electronics recycling facility. Learn how to dispose of your electronics with our e-waste disposal guide.
