A 10 yard dumpster measures roughly 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet tall, and it holds about 3-4 pickup truck loads of debris. In West Jordan, if you rent a 10 yard dumpster on a daily basis, pricing runs from 51 to 112 dollars, with weekly rentals for this 10 cubic yard dumpster priced separately and higher. It's the right call for small cleanouts, not full remodels.
How Big Is a 10 Yard Dumpster?
Ten cubic yards translates to those 12 by 8 by 3.5 foot dimensions, low enough that most homeowners can toss bags and boards over the side without a ladder, and if you compare it against a 20 yard dumpster rental or a 30 yard dumpster rental the wall height difference is the real story, not just the yardage. That low wall height is also why it's the pick for garage cleanouts, small yard debris jobs and single-room tear-outs, not big renovation piles. West Jordan customers comparing sizes should look at the full dumpster sizes and dimensions breakdown before booking, since a 20 yard unit isn't much bigger to deliver but holds twice the material, and crews running bigger jobs sometimes step up to a 40 yard dumpster rental instead. If you're not sure this size fits the job, check how many porta potties do i need style logic applied to debris volume, or just call and describe the pile. Every roll-off dumpster rental we place in West Jordan needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for the drop, so measure your driveway or street frontage first, and if the job is jobsite-based rather than residential, our construction site services page covers pairing the dumpster with toilets and fencing.
What Does a 10 Yard Dumpster Cost in West Jordan?
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Day rate covers a quick same-day pull for small jobs; week rate fits a weekend garage clear-out that stretches into the following week. Delivery is billed separately, typically 100 to 150 dollars for a day rental, and a service fee may apply depending on how far the driver has to travel; if you're also budgeting a porta potty for the same job, the porta potty rental cost and porta potty rental per day pages break down that side. Full cost breakdowns, including how weight affects your final bill, live on our dumpster rental cost page and the dumpster weight limits guide, worth a read before you load anything heavy like concrete or dirt.
Do I Need a Permit for a 10 Yard Dumpster in West Jordan?
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or sidewalk in front of your house, needs confirming with the City of West Jordan before delivery. We haven't verified a specific fee or ordinance number for this size, so don't take a guess from us as gospel. Driveway placement usually sidesteps the permit question entirely, which is why we push most residential customers that direction, the same logic we use when we place a porta potty rental or set up temporary power pole equipment on a site. For the full rundown on what triggers a permit and what doesn't, see dumpster permit requirements and porta potty permit requirements if you're renting sanitation alongside the dumpster. Construction crews juggling both a dumpster and jobsite toilets should also check OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), which sets toilet counts at one facility for 20 workers or fewer.
If your project also needs debris housekeeping under OSHA 1926.25, pairing a 10 yard unit with a fenced staging area keeps the site compliant and tidy; see temporary fence rental for options. Homeowners in South Jordan, 5.9 miles south of West Jordan, and Taylorsville, 7.1 miles northeast, use the same size for similar small-scale cleanouts, and we deliver to both, along with Herriman 10.4 miles south.
Frequently asked questions
How much debris fits in a 10 yard dumpster?
Enough for a single-room gut job, a garage cleanout or a small deck teardown, roughly 3 to 4 pickup truck loads. Heavier material like shingles or concrete fills the weight limit before it fills the box, so check dumpster weight limits first.
Can I put a 10 yard dumpster in my driveway?
Yes, and it's usually the easiest placement since it avoids right-of-way permit questions entirely. You still need the 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for delivery and pickup.
What can't go in a 10 yard dumpster?
Certain items are banned regardless of size, covered in detail on what cannot go in a dumpster. Paints, solvents and similar chemicals usually need separate disposal, and if your crew is spraying coatings on site, washing facilities also fall under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) for paints, coatings, herbicides and insecticides.
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Day and week rentals both exist; pick based on job pace. A slow weekend cleanout often fits better in a week-long rental than paying for multiple day rates back to back, and renters juggling a longer remodel sometimes check storage container rental for extra space alongside the dumpster.
