10 Yard Dumpster Rental

The 10 yard dumpster rental is our smallest roll-off and one of the most popular for Orlando homeowners. $325 flat includes delivery, pickup, disposal, 10 days, and a 2-ton (4,000 lb) weight allowance. No fuel surcharge, no environmental fee, no hidden delivery charge at checkout.

The 10 yard is sized for a typical residential project — small enough to sit in a standard driveway without blocking cars, large enough for a single-room remodel or a full garage cleanout. For heavy materials like concrete, dirt, tile, or roofing, it is often the right size by weight even when it looks small by volume.

Every 10 yard is delivered driveway-safe with 2x10 boards under the contact rails to prevent point-load damage — at no extra charge. Same-day delivery available across the Orlando metro when booked by mid-morning.

A 10 yard dumpster measures approximately 14' L x 7.5' W x 3.5' H. That is roughly 3 pickup truck loads of debris. Here is what fits for typical Orlando projects:

• Full kitchen demo — cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring, and drywall from a single kitchen.
• Single-room remodel — bathroom or bedroom gut including tile, flooring, fixtures, and drywall.
• Garage cleanout up to 1 car — accumulated boxes, broken furniture, lawn equipment, household items.
• Small landscape job — bush removal, garden bed clearing, soil, sod.
• Deck demolition — boards, framing, and rails from a small back-yard deck.
• Attic cleanout — insulation, boxes, broken furniture, miscellaneous storage.

A single 10 yard replaces about three round trips to the transfer station. Between fuel, your time, and dump fees of $30-$50 per trip, the rental usually wins on cost before it wins on convenience. The low 3.5-foot wall also makes loading easier — you walk debris up to the rim instead of lifting it overhead.

The 10 yard hits the sweet spot for residential jobs where a larger size is overkill.

Small bathroom remodel

A full bathroom gut — vanity, toilet, tub surround, tile, flooring, drywall — generates roughly 6-9 cubic yards. The 10 yard absorbs it with margin.

Single-room flooring tear-out

Tile, hardwood, laminate, or carpet from one room fills a fraction of a 10 yard by volume. Size is right because tile and hardwood are dense — a single bathroom of tile can weigh 500-800 pounds.

Deck removal

A small back-yard deck fits a 10 yard. For decks over about 200 sq ft, size up to a 15 yard.

Attic cleanout

Insulation, broken furniture, and miscellaneous storage tend to look like more than they are. A 10 yard usually handles a full attic cleanout in one pass.

Garage cleanout

For a one-car garage or moderately full two-car, the 10 yard is the standard pick. If the garage has 20+ years of accumulation with a workbench, riding mower, or extensive shelving, the 15 yard gives a margin of safety.

If your project spans multiple rooms of demo or a whole-house cleanout, see our medium and large dumpster guides.

Every 10 yard includes a 2-ton (4,000 lb) allowance in the $325 flat rate. That is generous for typical residential debris and, more importantly, right-sized for heavy materials that fill larger dumpsters with weight long before volume.

For dense materials, the 10 yard is often the only size that makes sense. Larger roll-offs cannot legally be loaded full of concrete or dirt — the loaded weight would exceed truck axle limits on Florida roads — so many haulers refuse heavy loads in larger sizes or charge overage fees.

Heavy materials we accept at the flat rate

• Concrete — sidewalk slabs, patio sections, driveway patches
• Dirt and clean fill — landscape excavation, garden bed soil
• Tile — ceramic and porcelain from bathroom or kitchen demos
• Roofing tear-off — shingles, underlayment, flashing from small roof sections
• Brick, block, and stone — fireplaces, walkways, retaining walls

A 10 yard filled with concrete reaches the 2-ton limit at roughly one-third to one-half full by volume. A 4-inch concrete sidewalk slab (4x4 ft) weighs about 800 lbs — five slabs gets close to the limit. For roofing, figure 2-3 lbs per sq ft, so 700-1,000 sq ft fits. Overage is $50/ton.

Picking the right size is the single biggest decision in a dumpster rental. Get it right and you'll fit everything in one bin with no overage fees. Get it wrong and you're either paying for a second rental or paying overage on the first. Here's how our four flat-rate sizes compare side by side, plus a project-to-size lookup and the one sizing rule almost every other rental company gets wrong.

Size Comparison Table

All prices include delivery, pickup, disposal, 10 days of rental, and the listed weight allowance. Overages: $50/ton and $25/day past day 10. No fuel surcharges, environmental fees, or hidden charges.

Pick by Project Type

If your project matches one of these examples, you have your size:

• Single bathroom remodel → 10 yard
• Roofing tear-off (single layer, average home) → 10 yard
• Single-car garage cleanout → 10 yard
• Concrete pad, driveway, or sidewalk removal → 10 yard (weight, not volume, will fill it)
• Kitchen remodel (cabinets + countertops + flooring) → 15 yard
• Two-bathroom remodel → 15 yard
• Two-car garage cleanout → 15 yard
• Mid-size landscaping or yard project → 15 yard
• Multi-room flooring tear-out → 20 yard
• Kitchen + bathroom combo remodel → 20 yard
• Partial home renovation (~1,500 sq ft) → 20 yard
• Whole-house cleanout or estate cleanout → 30 yard
• Hoarder cleanout → 30 yard
• Large construction project or major addition → 30 yard

Heavy Materials Rule — Different From Everything Else

For concrete, dirt, asphalt, tile, brick, or heavy roofing: always pick a 10 or 15 yard, regardless of how big your project is. Roll-off trucks have strict legal axle weight limits — typically about 22,000 lbs per axle group. A 30-yard dumpster filled with concrete would exceed legal road weight by 8,000+ pounds. The driver physically couldn't pick it up. You'd end up paying for a second container to transfer half the load.

The 10 and 15 yard sizes are matched to the truck's weight capacity, so a full one still gets hauled in a single trip. Most rental companies don't explain this and let customers over-rent. We tell you up front: heavy debris goes in 10 or 15 yard, full stop.

When to Size Up — and When Not To

Size up when you have bulky but lightweight debris (furniture, drywall, cardboard, yard waste, household goods), when you're not sure what's hiding in the attic or garage, or when your project scope is uncertain. One 20 yard at $425 is cheaper than two 10 yards at $650 — and avoids the second delivery wait.

Don't size up when you're working with heavy materials (see the rule above), or when your driveway has tight clearance. A 30 yard needs roughly 22 feet of length to set down, plus about 10 feet of vertical clearance for the truck arm to operate.

Still Not Sure Which Size?

If your project doesn't line up with anything above, send us a quick description of what you're tossing and we'll recommend a size and quote it on the spot. Same-day delivery is available across Orlando and Central Florida. If we deliver and the size turns out wrong, we'll swap it — most rental companies won't.

The 10 yard is built around one principle: the price you see is what you pay.

$325 flat rate — what is included

• Delivery to your driveway or job site
• Pickup at the end of the rental period
• Disposal at the transfer station
• 10 days of rental time
• 2 tons (4,000 lbs) of included weight
• Driveway-safe placement with 2x10 board protection
• Real-person phone support during your rental

No fuel surcharge, no environmental fee, no weekend premium.

Same-day delivery

Available across the Orlando metro when booked by mid-morning. After 1 PM, same-day is possible depending on route capacity; after 2-3 PM the realistic option is next-day.

The 10-day window

Your 10 days start the day of delivery. Most residential projects finish well inside, but the buffer matters when weather delays a roof, a contractor reschedules, or you find more in the garage than expected. Extensions are $25 per day past day 10 — no minimum, no automatic billing.

Driveway protection

A loaded 10 yard can weigh 6,000-8,000 pounds, more with heavy material. Set down hard on concrete or asphalt, that weight can leave divots or stress cracks at the contact rails. We place 2x10 hardwood boards under the rails on every delivery, at no extra charge.

Overage: $50/ton over 2 tons, $25/day past day 10. Hazardous materials, tires, refrigerant appliances, and electronics require separate disposal.
