Approximate — actual capacity depends on how debris is loaded.

The go-to for heavy material: dense debris like concrete and dirt reaches the weight limit long before it fills the box, so a small container keeps you under the cap.

Placement & clearance

The delivery truck needs a clear, firm, level spot with room to set and retrieve the container:

Length
~19'Container plus truck clearance
Width
~10'Container plus side clearance
Overhead
~14'For the truck’s lift arm

Driveways can be protected with boards. Street placement may need a municipal permit — we confirm this on your quote.

Weight & heavy debris

This size includes a typical allowance of 1–1.5 tons (2,000–3,000 lbs). Weight, not volume, is usually the real limit:

  • Dense material — concrete, brick, dirt, asphalt — hits the weight cap while the box still looks half full.
  • Overage beyond the included tonnage is billed per ton; we flag this when heavy debris is involved.
  • Tell us your debris type so the right container and tonnage are matched on your quote.

10-Yard questions

What projects need a 10-yard dumpster?

Small, focused jobs — a single bathroom remodel, a garage cleanout, carpet from a couple of rooms, or a small deck — plus any heavy debris like concrete or dirt where weight, not volume, is the limit.

Can I put concrete in a 10-yard dumpster?

Yes — heavy debris is exactly what this size is for. A 10-yard holds roughly 2–3 cubic yards of concrete before hitting the weight limit. Flag heavy material on your request so the provider can plan for it.

How many roofing shingles fit?

About 1,500 sq ft of single-layer tear-off (roughly 25–35 bundles). Double-layer or larger roofs step up to a 15- or 20-yard.
