A 10 yard dumpster, sometimes called a 10 cubic yard dumpster, measures about 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet tall, and it holds roughly three pickup truck loads of debris. Southfield Porta Pros lets you rent a 10 yard dumpster by the day, week or month, and daily rates for this 10 yard trash dumpster run between $51 and $112. It fits driveways where bigger boxes won't.
These 10 yard dumpster measurements run about 12 feet by 8 feet by 3.5 feet, and that 10-yard dumpster dimensions footprint is small enough for a Southfield driveway or a tight urban lot. That footprint makes it the right call for a bathroom gut, a garage cleanout, or a small home renovation porta potty job where the dumpster sits next to the unit for the whole project. Compare it against the 20 yard dumpster rental if your pile looks bigger than a truckload or two. Southfield Porta Pros still needs the standard clearance behind the truck for drop-off, so measure your access before you book. Full specs and side-by-side sizing live on the dumpster sizes and dimensions page, and general roll-off dumpster rental info covers what happens between delivery and pickup.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Day rates suit a weekend cleanout; week rates suit a remodel that drags on. Delivery is usually billed separately, and that fee runs $100 to $500 depending on distance and access, so ask when you book. For a full cost breakdown across sizes, see dumpster rental cost. If your project is bigger than a bathroom or garage, price out the 30 yard dumpster rental or 40 yard dumpster rental before committing, since a longer job in a small box often costs more in swaps than one right-sized dumpster from the start.
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or curb strip rather than your own driveway, needs confirming with the city before delivery. Southfield Porta Pros can drop the box entirely on private property when that's an option, which sidesteps the question. If the driveway won't fit a 10 yard box and the street is the only spot, check requirements on our dumpster permit requirements page before we schedule. Roll-off trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the vehicle to place the box safely, so measure your driveway length and note any low branches or wires. Renters also ask what's allowed inside the box. Tires, paint cans and certain electronics are common rejects; the full list is on what cannot go in a dumpster, and weight caps by size are covered on dumpster weight limits.
Southfield sits close enough to several nearby communities that we deliver there too. Oak Park is about 4.9 miles east, Birmingham sits 7.2 miles northeast, and Redford is 7.6 miles south, so a same-day swap between job sites isn't a stretch. If your project also needs a construction dumpster rental alongside sanitation, pair it with our construction site services page, and OSHA 1926.25 requires debris to be cleared from work areas regularly, which is exactly what a 10 yard box parked on-site handles.
Most people who rent 10 yard dumpster units keep them for a weekend or a week, matching the day and week rates above. Longer jobs move to the monthly rate instead of stacking daily charges, which usually costs less once you pass roughly two weeks. Ask Southfield Porta Pros to adjust the term if your timeline shifts mid-project.
A single bathroom gut, a small deck teardown, or a garage cleanout typically fills a 10 yard roll off dumpster. It holds about three pickup truck loads. If you're clearing a whole house, size up rather than ordering two 10 yard boxes back to back.
Most residential driveways handle the 12 by 8 foot footprint easily. The truck delivering it needs roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind the vehicle, so check for fences, parked cars or low trees before scheduling.
Usually yes, but some materials are barred outright regardless of category. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before loading paint, tires or hazardous chemicals, since those get rejected at the landfill and can trigger extra fees.
