Capacity

10 cubic yards — about 3 pickup truck loads

Weight included

1–2 tons in the flat rate

Debris needs to stay below the container's top rail on every size so our driver can haul it safely — that holds whether it lands on your driveway or, with a City of Columbus right-of-way permit, a public street.

Is this the one?

When the 10 yard is the right call

The 10 yard is the size people underestimate most. It has the smallest number on the list, so it gets read as the box for small jobs, when its real job is handling the heaviest material we haul. Georgia regulates construction and demolition debris under DNR/EPD Chapter 391-3-4, and the Columbus/Muscogee County-owned Pine Grove Landfill won't take a mixed load — concrete, dirt, brick and general remodel debris have to be separated by type before they're dropped off. Keeping dense material in its own 10 yard from the start, rather than mixed into a bigger box, is exactly what makes that separation easy.

At 14 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 3.5 ft high, it holds about 3 pickup truck loads and carries a 1–2 ton weight allowance sized for dense debris, not bulk. The low side walls make it the easiest box to hand-load, which matters on a single-room strip-out or a small roofing tear-off — up to about 15 squares fits comfortably. It's also the shortest container we run, which is exactly why it sits square on the tighter driveways common in South Columbus neighborhoods that border Fort Benning, and in older, closer-in streets like Wynnton Village and Rose Hill, without crowding the sidewalk or a neighbor's fence line. Almost every 10 yard we deliver in and around Columbus sits entirely on the customer's own driveway; a City of Columbus right-of-way permit only enters the picture if the box has to sit on the street instead.

Straight advice: If the pile is dense — concrete, dirt, brick, block — this is the container regardless of how small the job feels. Keep debris below the top rail, keep it separated by material type so it clears Pine Grove Landfill without a hitch, and you're set; a bigger container does not help with heavy material, it just costs more to move.

Ideal for

  • Single-room gut jobs and small residential cleanouts
  • Concrete, dirt, brick and block — heavy material stays in a 10 or 15, never bigger
  • Small roofing tear-offs, up to roughly 15 squares
  • Historic-home strip-outs — plaster, lath and old-growth lumber from Wynnton, Rose Hill or High Uptown renovations
  • PCS-season single-room turnovers in neighborhoods bordering Fort Benning
  • Tighter driveways in South Columbus and the older, closer-in city streets
  • Any load where weight, not volume, is the limiting factor

How it sizes up against the others

Same flat pricing model across all five. The real question is which weight allowance matches your material — heavy debris, roofing, or a construction phase.

Answers

10 Yard Dumpster questions

What are the dimensions of a 10 yard dumpster?

About 14 ft long by 7.5 ft wide by 3.5 ft high. It's the shortest container we run, which is exactly why it fits into a tighter driveway — a South Columbus street near Fort Benning, or an older, closer-in lot near Wynnton or Rose Hill — where a longer box would not sit square.

Can I put concrete, dirt, brick or block in a 10 yard dumpster?

Yes — this is one of the two sizes built for it, alongside the 15 yard. Pine Grove Landfill, the Muscogee County-owned facility that serves Columbus, does not accept mixed loads, so keeping dense material separated in its own 10 yard from the start is exactly what makes that easy. Anything bigger runs into its weight allowance long before the box is anywhere near full.

Is a 10 yard big enough for a roofing job?

For a smaller roof, yes — up to roughly 15 squares. Roofing suits the 10 and the 20 specifically; describe the square footage and layer count when you call and we'll confirm which of the two fits, and remember the weight allowance is 1–2 tons on this size.

Do I need a permit for a 10 yard dumpster in my driveway?

In most cases, no. A City of Columbus right-of-way permit is only required if the container has to sit on a public street instead of your own driveway or property. Almost every 10 yard we deliver sits entirely on a driveway, and if yours is the exception, the Department of Engineering can confirm exactly what's needed for your address.
