How Big is a 10 Yard Dumpster, Really?
A 10-yard dumpster holds 10 cubic yards of debris — that’s roughly 100–120 large trash bags worth of material!
Typical Dimensions:
- Length: 14 feet (about the length of a midsize SUV)
- Width: 7.5 feet
- Height: 3.5 feet (about waist-high)
This size fits easily in most residential driveways and is low enough to load over the sides without a ramp or extra help.
Ideal Projects for a 10 Yard Dumpster
This size is great for small to mid-sized jobs like:
- ✅ Garage & attic cleanouts
- ✅ Bathroom or small kitchen remodels
- ✅ Landscaping & yard waste removal
- ✅ Roofing jobs (under 1,500 sq ft)
- ✅ Small concrete or brick disposal jobs
💡 Pro Tip: If you’re unsure whether 10 yards is enough, just give us a call! We’ll help you pick the right size for your project.
How Much Weight Can a 10 Yard Dumpster Handle?
Most 10-yard dumpsters can hold up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs) of debris — though this varies depending on the material. Lighter materials like wood and drywall fill the space easily, but heavy materials like concrete or dirt may hit the weight limit before the dumpster is full.
