How Big Is a 10 Yard Dumpster?
The 10 yard dumpster size fits tight driveways and short jobs better than anything larger in the roll-off dumpster rental lineup. At 12 feet by 8 feet, with 3.5 foot walls, it is the shortest box on the lot, and the 10 cubic yard dumpster capacity works out to around three truckloads of mixed debris. Compare that against the 20 yard dumpster rental or the 30 yard dumpster rental before you book if you are not sure the smaller box will hold everything. Full dumpster sizes and dimensions are listed if you want to compare all four. Every delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so measure your driveway or alley in Spokane before the truck shows up. Placement on a street instead of your own property may need sign-off, so check dumpster permit requirements with the city first.
What Can You Put in a 10 Yard Dumpster?
Household junk, yard waste, wood scraps and drywall from a small remodel all work fine. Certain items never go in, covered on what cannot go in a dumpster, and loading past the fill line or over the rated weight brings a fee, explained on dumpster weight limits. Contractors clearing out a bathroom or kitchen usually pair this box with home renovation porta potty rental so crews are not driving off site for a bathroom break. For a full building project, see construction site services for what pairs well with a smaller roll off.
What Does a 10 Yard Dumpster Cost in Spokane?
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
Day rate covers a quick cleanout; a longer remodel runs by the week or month instead. A delivery fee applies separately, and the full breakdown of what drives price up or down sits on dumpster rental cost. If your job is bigger, check the 40 yard dumpster rental or step up to a construction dumpster rental built for job sites rather than driveway cleanouts.
Spokane Porta Pros delivers to the city and to nearby towns including Town and Country, about 4.6 miles north, and Airway Heights, about 8.7 miles west. Check the full list on service areas or find your own town, including Cheney and Mead. If your dumpster job overlaps with a septic pump-out, see septic pumping service; if you also need a fenced perimeter around the container, look at temporary fence rental.
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Day, week and month terms are all available; most Spokane homeowners doing a weekend cleanout book the day rate, and remodel crews go weekly or monthly. Ask about extending once it is delivered rather than guessing low up front.
Do I need a permit for a 10 yard dumpster in Spokane?
Placement in the street or public right of way needs confirming with the city; driveway placement usually does not. Check dumpster permit requirements before delivery day so there is no delay.
How much weight can a 10 yard dumpster hold?
Weight limits vary by material, with heavier loads like concrete or shingles capped lower than mixed household debris. Full detail is on dumpster weight limits; going over brings an added charge.
What is the difference between a 10 yard and 20 yard dumpster?
The 10 yard box is about half the length and volume of the 20 yard dumpster rental, better suited to single-room cleanouts than whole-house jobs. Compare both on dumpster sizes and dimensions.
Can I rent a 10 yard dumpster for a construction site?
Yes, though most contractors size up. For active job sites, pair it with construction site services and consider handwashing coverage under OSHA 1926.51(c) toilet-count rules for crews on site.
