What Is a 10 Yard Dumpster?
A Small Dumpster with Big Impact
A 10 yard dumpster is a roll-off container designed to hold up to 10 cubic yards of material—equivalent to roughly 3 full pickup truck loads. It’s the smallest standard size we offer, making it an ideal fit for residential driveways and tight job sites.
Typical Dimensions:
Length: 12 feet
Width: 8 feet
Height: 3.5 feet
(Note: Dimensions may vary slightly depending on availability.)
Though compact in footprint, this container is durable enough to handle a wide range of waste types, especially for short-term or low-volume jobs.
When to Choose a 10 Yard Dumpster
Ideal for Homeowners, DIYers, and Small Contractors
This size is perfect for quick jobs that still generate a fair amount of debris. Don’t underestimate how quickly trash can accumulate during what seems like a “simple” cleanup—our 10 yard containers are perfect for handling just that without taking up excess space or exceeding your budget.
Common Projects for a 10 Yard Dumpster:
Garage, attic, or basement cleanouts
Light demolition (like a bathroom or small kitchen)
Removing old carpet or flooring
Small deck or fence removal
Yard cleanup (leaves, branches, trimmings)
Roofing (1 layer up to 1,500 sq. ft. of shingles)
Dumpster for downsizing or pre-move purging
If you’re unsure whether your project is a good fit for this size, we’ll be happy to assess your needs and provide a professional recommendation—no guesswork required.
What Can You Put in a 10 Yard Dumpster?
Versatility You Can Count On

Furniture and household junk
Construction debris (drywall, wood, tile)
Yard waste (grass, branches, dirt in small amounts)
Roofing shingles
Small appliance disposal (ask about limitations)

Electronics (TVs, monitors, etc., depending on location)
Tires, batteries, or medical waste
Refrigerators or air conditioners with Freon (without proper prep)
We’re always happy to provide a full do-and-don’t list before drop-off so you can plan ahead and avoid any fees.
Easy Delivery and Pickup—Even in Tight Spaces
Built for Residential Access and Urban Job Sites
One of the biggest advantages of our 10 yard dumpster is its ability to fit into narrow driveways, alleyways, and tight spaces, especially in urban areas like San Francisco, Oakland, or Berkeley. It’s perfect for properties with limited access or no street parking.
Our delivery team is trained to place the container safely, securely, and with minimal impact to your property. And when you’re done? We’ll haul it away quickly—no mess, no stress.
Eco-Friendly Waste Disposal with Every Rental
Because Responsible Cleanup Matters
Just because you’re tossing things out doesn’t mean they should go to waste. At UPCycle Dumpsters, we’re proud to partner with Bay Area recycling and composting facilities to ensure that reusable materials from your 10 yard dumpster are processed responsibly.
We help divert:
Clean wood
Cardboard and paper
Yard debris
Recyclable metals
Certain construction materials (depending on contamination)
Our commitment to sustainability goes hand in hand with our mission to support cleaner neighborhoods and a greener Bay Area.
