What's Included for $299
What Is a 10 Yard Dumpster?
A 10 yard dumpster is a roll-off container that holds 10 cubic yards of debris, equivalent to approximately 3 pickup truck loads or 40 to 50 large contractor trash bags. It is the smallest standard dumpster size offered for residential rental and the most affordable option for homeowners tackling small to medium projects.
To visualize 10 cubic yards, imagine a space roughly 12 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 3.6 feet high,about the footprint of a compact SUV. The container sits low to the ground, making it easy to toss items over the sides or walk debris in through the rear swing door. Its compact profile means it fits in most standard driveways without blocking sidewalks or streets.
At 904 Dumpster, we rent 10 yard dumpsters across Jacksonville and Northeast Florida for a flat rate of $299, which includes delivery, pickup, a 3-day rental period, and disposal of up to 1 ton. As a locally owned company serving the 904 area since 2016, we deliver with driveway protection boards on every drop-off and offer same-day delivery when you book before noon.
10 Yard Dumpster Dimensions & Size
A 10 yard dumpster measures 12 feet long by 7.5 feet wide by 3.6 feet high. The container occupies approximately the same space as a single parking spot, making it the most driveway-friendly dumpster size available. At only 3.6 feet tall,roughly waist-height on most adults,it is easy to load without a ladder or ramp.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Exterior Length | 12 feet |
| Exterior Width | 7.5 feet |
| Exterior Height | 3.6 feet (43 inches) |
| Volume | 10 cubic yards |
| Weight Limit | 3,000 lbs (1.5 tons) |
| Equivalent Capacity | 3 pickup truck loads / 40-50 contractor bags |
| Rear Door | Full-width swing door for walk-in loading |
The rear swing door opens fully, allowing you to walk heavy items like furniture and appliances directly into the container instead of lifting them over the sides. This is especially useful for estate cleanouts and moving projects. When closed, the door latches securely to prevent debris from spilling during transport. For size comparison, the 10 yard is about 2 feet shorter and nearly a foot lower than our 15 yard dumpster, making it a better fit for driveways with limited clearance.
10 Yard Dumpster Cost
A 10 yard dumpster rental costs $299 at 904 Dumpster. The flat rate includes delivery, a 3-day rental, pickup, and disposal of up to 1 ton. National averages for a 10-yard run $425 to $750 according to roll-off industry guides, putting 904 Dumpster roughly 30 to 50 percent below market with no hidden fees.
| Item | 904 Dumpster |
|---|---|
| Base Rental | $299 |
| Disposal Included | 1 Ton |
| Rental Period | 3 Days |
| Overage Fee | $75/Ton |
| Fuel Surcharge | $0 |
| Environmental Fee | $0 |
| Admin / Booking Fee | $0 |
Many national dumpster brokers advertise low base rates of $199-$249 but add fuel surcharges ($25-$50), environmental fees ($15-$30), and per-ton disposal charges that can double the final bill. With 904 Dumpster, the $299 price is the price you pay. Based on a decade of operating, this transparent pricing saves customers an average of $75 to $125 compared to brokers who stack hidden fees.
Dumpster rental vs. hauling it yourself: A single landfill trip costs roughly $50 to $75 in disposal fees plus fuel and 1 to 2 hours of your time. The 10-yard dumpster holds about 3 pickup truck loads, which would total $150 to $225 in dump fees alone, not counting gas, vehicle wear, and 4 to 6 hours of driving and unloading. At $299 all-in with delivery to your driveway, renting a dumpster is the cheaper option once you have more than two truckloads of debris.

Best Uses for a 10 Yard Dumpster
Based on 10 years and over 2,000 dumpster deliveries across Jacksonville, here are the most common projects our customers use the 10 yard dumpster for.
Garage & Attic Cleanouts
The 10 yard dumpster is the most popular choice for homeowners cleaning out a single-car or two-car garage. A typical garage cleanout produces enough debris to fill 60 to 70 percent of the container, leaving room for unexpected items you find along the way. Old bicycles, broken lawn equipment, holiday decorations, and stacks of boxes all fit with space to spare. The low 3.6-foot walls make it easy to toss items over the side without a ramp. For large 3-car garages packed floor to ceiling, the 15 yard dumpster is a better fit.
Small Bathroom or Kitchen Remodel
Renovating a single bathroom or a small galley kitchen generates more debris than most homeowners expect,old tile, drywall, vanities, countertops, and fixtures add up quickly. The 10 yard dumpster handles a single-room remodel comfortably. Use the rear swing door to walk in heavy items like cast-iron tubs or granite countertop sections. If your remodel spans multiple rooms or includes heavy materials like full-slab granite, step up to a 15 yard for additional capacity.
Yard Debris & Landscaping
Florida's growing season produces a significant amount of yard waste. The 10 yard dumpster works well for trimming projects, bush removal, small tree limbs, sod removal, and general landscaping cleanup. It holds approximately 3 pickup truck loads of yard debris, replacing multiple trips to a yard-waste drop-off. Yard waste is lighter than construction debris, so most projects hit the volume limit before the 2,000-pound weight limit.
Estate Cleanouts & Moving
When cleaning out 1-2 rooms of an estate or preparing a home for sale, the 10 yard dumpster provides enough capacity without overwhelming the driveway. It is particularly popular with residential customers in Mandarin and San Marco who need to clear furniture, clothing, and household items from a few rooms. For whole-house estate cleanouts, our 20 yard dumpster is a better value.
How Our 10 Yard Dumpster Rental Works

Book Online or Call

The entire delivery takes about 10 minutes. We serve all of Jacksonville, plus St. Johns, Clay, and Nassau counties.
Fill Your Dumpster
You have 5 days to load at your own pace. Use the rear swing door for heavy items or toss lighter debris over the 3.6-foot walls. Keep all debris below the top edge for safe transport. If your project takes longer, call us for an extension at $15 per additional day.
We Pick Up & Dispose
When you're finished loading, call, text, or email us. Most pickups happen within 24 hours of your request. We haul your debris to Trail Ridge Landfill or the appropriate disposal facility. Your rental is complete,no additional charges beyond what was quoted.
When to Choose a 10 Yard vs. 15 Yard Dumpster
The 10 yard dumpster is the right choice when your project is limited to a single room, one area of the home, or a moderate amount of debris. It is the most cost-effective option for garage cleanouts, single bathroom remodels, and small landscaping projects. If your project involves more than one room, heavy materials like roofing shingles or concrete, or a significant volume of bulky furniture, our 15 yard dumpster at $349 offers 50% more capacity for only $50 more.
Our rule of thumb after 2,000+ deliveries: If you're unsure between two sizes, it is almost always better to size up. Ordering a second dumpster because you ran out of space costs more than the $50 difference between sizes. When in doubt, call us at (904) 240-5598 and describe your project,our team can recommend the right size based on years of experience with Jacksonville homes.

10 Yard Dumpster FAQs
How big is a 10 yard dumpster?
A 10 yard dumpster measures 12 feet long by 7.5 feet wide by 3.6 feet high. It holds 10 cubic yards of debris, equivalent to roughly 3 full-size pickup truck loads or 40 to 50 large contractor bags. The container has the footprint of a small sedan and fits comfortably in a standard single-car driveway.
How much does a 10 yard dumpster cost?
A 10 yard dumpster rental costs $299 at 904 Dumpster. National averages run $425 to $750 for the same size, so 904 Dumpster is roughly 30 to 50 percent below market. The $299 flat rate includes delivery, a 3-day rental, pickup, and disposal of up to 1 ton, with no fuel surcharges, environmental fees, or admin charges.
What is the weight limit for a 10 yard dumpster?
The weight limit for a 10 yard dumpster at 904 Dumpster is 2,000 pounds, which equals 1 ton and is included in the $299 flat rate. That capacity covers most household cleanouts and light renovation debris. Overage above 1 ton is billed at $75 per additional ton. Heavy materials like concrete, brick, and dirt fill the weight allowance faster than the volume allowance.
Will a couch fit in a 10 yard dumpster?
Yes, a standard couch fits easily in a 10 yard dumpster. The container is 12 feet long and 7.5 feet wide with a 3.6-foot height, leaving plenty of room for a couch plus additional furniture such as chairs, mattresses, dressers, and end tables. Most single-room furniture cleanouts fit in a 10 yard dumpster with space to spare.
How many pickup truck loads fit in a 10 yard dumpster?
A 10 yard dumpster holds approximately 3 full-size pickup truck loads of debris. Each landfill trip typically costs $50 to $75 in disposal fees, plus fuel and 1 to 2 hours of your time. A single 10 yard rental from 904 Dumpster at $299 replaces those 3 trips and removes the lifting, driving, and unloading from your project.
Can I put concrete in a 10 yard dumpster?
Yes, you can put concrete in a 10 yard dumpster, but the 2,000-pound weight limit fills up quickly. A 10-yard bin filled entirely with concrete would far exceed the limit, so the 10-yard works best for small amounts of concrete mixed with other debris. For concrete-only loads like a driveway tear-out, call 904 Dumpster at (904) 240-5598 for heavy-debris pricing.
