How big is a 10-yard dumpster?
A 10-yard dumpster is typically about 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 3.5 feet high. It holds about 10 cubic yards, or about 3 pickup loads.
| Spec | Typical 10-yard |
|---|---|
| Dimensions (L × W × H) | 14 × 7.5 × 3.5 ft |
| Volume | About 10 cubic yards |
| Pickup-truck loads | About 3 |

Dimensions and pickup loads come from one national broker’s Yuma page. Tons and rental days are typical for Yuma as of October 2026. Sizes vary by company, so your exact specs are confirmed on the call.
The “yard” means cubic yards of space, not feet of length. The walls are only about 3.5 feet tall. That makes it the easiest of the five sizes to load by hand. Bulky items like a sofa or cabinets leave gaps, so they take more room than you’d guess.

How many tons does a 10-yard hold, and can it take concrete or dirt?
A 10-yard typically includes about 2 tons. It’s the usual pick for concrete, dirt and rock, because heavy debris hits the weight limit before the box fills.
Two tons is 4,000 pounds. Heavy debris reaches that fast. One city’s conversion table gives these rough weights per cubic yard.
| Material | Rough weight per cubic yard | About how much fits in 2 tons |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete | 2,850 lb | About 1.4 cubic yards |
| Gravel or rock, loose | 2,565 lb | About 1.6 cubic yards |
| Soil, dry | 2,025 lb | About 2 cubic yards |
| Yard trimmings | 350 lb | A full 10-yard is about 1.75 tons |
The weights come from the City of Seattle’s Volume and Weight Conversion Factors table, checked October 20, 2026. The city says the table is for general guidance only. Wet soil weighs more than dry soil, so treat these as rough numbers.
So a 10-yard full of concrete would be far over its included weight. On a 14 × 7.5 ft floor, 1.4 cubic yards of concrete sits only about 4 inches deep. Ask the hauler how full a heavy load can be.
Desert landscaping rock counts as heavy debris. So do old patio slabs, pavers and block walls. Tell the hauler it’s heavy debris when you book. Ask whether concrete or dirt must go in its own load, with no trash mixed in.
Overage is billed per ton, typically about $50–$100 in Yuma as of October 2026. Ask for a copy of the landfill scale ticket if you’re billed for overage. See how overage charges work in Yuma and the rules for concrete and dirt.
Pulling out rock or an old slab? Call (928) 296-5462 and say it’s heavy debris. The hauler can tell you how full to load it.
What projects fit in a 10-yard dumpster?
A 10-yard fits a bathroom remodel, a small garage or room cleanout, a yard project, or a small roof tear-off.
| Project | Does a 10-yard fit? | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom remodel | Usually | Tile and plaster are heavy |
| Small garage, shed or one or two rooms | Usually | A packed two-car garage may need a 20-yard |
| Yard work and branches | Usually | Ask before mixing yard waste with other debris |
| Rock, gravel, dirt or concrete removal | Yes, for weight | Load only part of the box |
| Small roof tear-off | Sometimes | Give the hauler your squares and layers |
| Kitchen remodel | Sometimes | Cabinets are bulky, so a 20-yard is often safer |
Project fits come from dumpster company videos on sizing (Ultimate Dumpsters, Bin There Dump That, 2020–2023). They are general guidance, not a promise that your load will fit.
For a whole-house cleanout or estate, a 10-yard is usually too small. See cleanout dumpsters for homes, estates and snowbirds. For roofing, start with construction and roofing dumpsters, since roof tear-offs often need a 20-yard.
The City of Yuma’s free Neighborhood Cleanup excludes construction debris. A small roll-off covers remodel debris the city won’t take.
Before you load, read what can and can’t go in a dumpster. Tires, car batteries, paint and household garbage stay out.
Is a 10-yard or a 20-yard dumpster better?
Pick a 10-yard for heavy debris, tight spaces or a small job. Pick a 20-yard for bulky remodel debris, roofs or a full garage.
| Compare | 10-yard | 20-yard |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions (L × W × H) | 14 × 7.5 × 3.5 ft | 22 × 7.5 × 4.5 ft |
| Pickup loads | About 3 | About 6 |
| Typical tons included | About 2 | About 3 |
| Typical Yuma price (October 2026) | About $260–$815 | About $340–$830 |

The 10-yard has a few real benefits. It’s 8 feet shorter, so it fits where a 20-yard won’t. Its walls are about a foot lower, which makes lifting debris over the side easier. Its typical price range starts lower. A smaller box also limits how much heavy debris you can pile in.
The 20-yard holds about twice the volume. Its typical Yuma range starts about $80 higher. If you’re between the two, the bigger one is often cheaper than a second haul. A second box means a second delivery and pickup. See the 20-yard for remodels and roof tear-offs.
Still stuck between the two? The in-between 15-yard roll-off is only a foot or two longer than a 10-yard and holds about 4.5 to 5 pickup loads.
Will a 10-yard fit on a Foothills lot, RV park or mobile-home space?
Often, yes. The 10-yard has the smallest footprint of the five sizes, so it’s the easiest fit for tight lots. Measure first.
Mobile homes are common here. They make up 28.6% of housing units in Yuma County and 47.4% in Fortuna Foothills (U.S. Census, ACS 2020–2024). Tight lots and park rules often favor a smaller box.
Plan for more than the box itself. One national broker says its truck needs about 60 feet of straight-line space and 23 to 25 feet of overhead clearance to drop a dumpster. Your hauler’s numbers may differ.
Check these before delivery day.
- Overhead wires, carports, branches and roof edges above the spot
- A straight path for the truck to back in
- A hard, level surface
- Gates and park roads wide enough for the truck
RV parks and HOAs may set their own rules. Ask the park office before you book. Ask the driver to set the dumpster on boards to protect your driveway. More placement tips are in placing a dumpster in Yuma, including RV parks and HOAs. For Foothills homes, see dumpster rental in Fortuna Foothills.
Tight lot? Call (928) 296-5462 and describe the space. The hauler can tell you if a 10-yard fits. Or get your all-in price in writing.
