Just How Big Is a 10 Yard Dumpster?
When you are working on most smaller-scale home improvement and landscaping projects, a 10 cubic yard dumpster from Dumpster Grades is typically an acceptable choice. Generally, your home’s driveway is a great location to place the dumpster while you are using it. Consider these specifics when choosing a 10-yard dumpster.
- Capacity. 10 cubic yards of waste material is basically the equivalent of four pick-up truck loads.
- Dimensions. Our ten-yard dumpsters are 8’x11’, and the side walls stand at a height of 3 ½ feet.
- Weight Restrictions. Most landfills accept waste based on its weight, so this is important to consider when filling your bin. A 10-yard dumpster will hold 4,000-6,000 lbs. This is the equivalent of 2-3 tons of waste.

What Should I Do to Prepare for my Dumpster?
There are a few simple steps you should take before Dumpster Grades delivers a waste bin to your home. Just follow these tips.
- Make Room. Your dumpster delivery will require around 50 feet of driveway length. Be sure that there are no vehicles or other obstacles blocking the driveway.
- Clearance. Our dumpster delivery trucks need 14’-18’ of vertical clearance when lifting the waste receptacle to assure proper placement at your home. Make sure there are no tree branches, electrical lines, or other obstructions blocking the way.
- Convenience. Many people mistakenly believe that they need to be present for their dumpster delivery, but Dumpster Grades doesn’t require you to be home at the time of delivery.
- Remember Restrictions. As you fill your dumpster, don’t forget that there are weight restrictions to abide by. Do not overfill your waste bin.
