How Big Is a 10 Yard Dumpster?
The 10 yard dumpster size fits tight driveways and small lots better than the bigger boxes on our lot. At about 12 feet by 8 feet by 3.5 feet, a 10 cubic yard dumpster is the smallest roll off Greenville Porta Pros stacks, and it still swallows a bathroom gut job or a couple rooms of flooring tear-out. If you are clearing a garage in Mauldin, 6.9 miles southeast of Greenville, or gutting a rental near City View, 5.5 miles northwest, this is usually the right call before you jump to a 20 yard dumpster rental. Compare it against the full lineup on our dumpster sizes and dimensions page, or check 30 yard dumpster rental and 40 yard dumpster rental if your pile is bigger than you think. Delivery in Greenville needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so measure your driveway or curb space before you book. We size jobs every day through roll-off dumpster rental and construction site services, and a 10 yard box is almost always the starting question, not the end of it.
What Does a 10 Yard Dumpster Cost in Greenville?
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Day rentals run cheapest for a one-day cleanout, and weekly rates make sense for a remodel that drags on. Delivery is billed separately, and a day delivery fee typically lands around 150 dollars, so ask for the full number before the truck rolls. Full breakdown, including how weight factors in, lives on our dumpster rental cost page. If you are still deciding on size versus price, our dumpster weight limits guide covers what pushes a load over and costs you extra. Homeowners doing a single-room job in Greenville usually land in the day or weekend range, while contractors running a multi-week project book the month rate and swap boxes as needed.
Can I Put Anything in a 10 Yard Dumpster?
No. Paint, tires, batteries, refrigerants and most chemicals are off limits, and mixing them in can void the load and trigger extra fees. Check our what cannot go in a dumpster list before you start tossing. Construction debris, drywall, old furniture and yard waste are all fine in standard loads. If your project involves paint or coatings, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for workers applying those materials, which matters if you are running a crew and not just doing a weekend cleanout yourself. Pair the dumpster with a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental if the crew is on site more than a day. For sites needing permits, Greenville's placement rules in the public right of way need confirming with the city before drop-off; see our dumpster permit requirements page for what to ask.
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Most Greenville customers keep it for a weekend or a week, but month-long rentals are common on remodel jobs. Pricing scales with duration, so a week costs more than a day and a month costs more than a week. Talk to us about swap-outs if the job runs long.
Do I need a permit for a roll off dumpster in Greenville?
Maybe, depending on where it sits. If the dumpster goes on the street or sidewalk instead of your driveway, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Check our dumpster permit requirements page before delivery day.
What is the difference between a 10 yard and 20 yard dumpster?
A 10 yard box is about half the volume of a 20 yard, and it fits smaller driveways. Garage cleanouts and single-room remodels usually fit a 10 yard. Whole-house gut jobs or roofing tear-offs often need the 20 yard dumpster rental instead.
Can I load a 10 yard dumpster myself?
Yes. Most homeowners load it themselves over a weekend. Keep debris level with the top rail rather than mounded, since overloaded bins get flagged and can cost extra at pickup.
