The Perfect Size for the Job
10 Yard Dumpster Rental — Compact, Affordable, Perfect for Small Jobs
A 10 yard dumpster is the perfect choice for homeowners tackling smaller cleanup and remodeling projects. It’s compact enough to fit in most driveways while providing plenty of room for approximately 4 to 5 pickup truck loads of debris.
Whether you’re cleaning out a garage, remodeling a bathroom, decluttering before a move, or removing old furniture, our 10 yard dumpster gives you an affordable, convenient way to keep your project moving. At Dumpster Brothers, every rental includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and a full 14 day rental period with transparent flat rate pricing.

Projects Perfect for a 10 Yard Dumpster
Small to Medium Bathroom Renovation
A full bathroom remodel produces a surprising amount of waste: old tile, drywall, flooring, fixtures, trim, and plumbing materials. A 10 yard handles this comfortably without overflow.
Single Room Cleanout (Garage, Office, Bedroom)
Clearing out a full room of furniture, shelving, boxes, and misc items — a 10 yard gives you room to work without multiple trips to the dump.
Estate Cleanout (Single Home, 1 to 2 Rooms)
Note: Large estate cleanouts typically need a 20 yard or larger. But if you're clearing one room or one section of a home (like a cluttered garage or finished basement), a 10 yard works.
Hot Tub or Spa Removal
Removing an old hot tub (fiberglass shell, insulation, pipes, frame) fits comfortably in a 10 yard.
Deck or Patio Demolition (Small)
A small deck or patio removal (8x10 ft or smaller) fits in a 10 yard. Larger structures need a 15 or 20 yard, and a large deck will likely need a 30 or 40 yard.
Yard Debris and Landscaping Cleanup
Branches, brush, leaves, and grass clippings from a major cleanup or tree service. Yard waste is accepted freely.
Roofing Material (Residential)
A standard residential roof tearoff produces lightweight debris (shingles, felt, nails, fascia trim). A 10 yard handles residential roofing easily. Note: We never recommend the 10 yard for roofing over 1,000 sq ft or commercial roofing — use a 20 yard instead.
Small Kitchen Remodel
Cabinet removal, old counters, flooring, and appliance hauling — a 10 yard manages this without the extra space you'd waste with a 15 yard.

Overage Risk | Higher (if you underestimate)
| Lower |
Choose 10 if: Your project is a single room, or you’ve estimated light debris. Choose 15 if: You’re doing a kitchen or full bathroom remodel, or a whole-house cleanout — the extra $36 and capacity is worth peace of mind.
10 Yard vs. 20 Yard

Choose 10 if: You have a very small project. Choose 20 if: You’re doing a full kitchen, bathroom, or whole-house project — the extra $86 buys you 5 additional pickup truck loads of capacity and double the weight allowance.
10 Yard vs. 30 Yard

Why North Atlanta Chooses Dumpster Brothers for 10 Yard Rentals
14 Day Rental vs. 7 Days Everywhere Else
Competitors like Dump Daddy charge $455 for 7 days. That's $65/day. Our 10 yard at $399 for 14 days is $28.50/day. You get twice the time for less money.
Transparent, Flat Rate Pricing
$399. No hidden fees, no phone quote games, no surprise overage charges (unless you actually go over weight, which we warn you about upfront). You know the price before you book.
Same Day Delivery (Call by 10 AM)
Call us by 10 AM and we deliver the same day, 7 days a week, including Sunday. Most competitors say "3 to 5 days." We say "this afternoon."
Driveway Safe Placement
We offer fiberglass pads ($25 upgrade if you want them) to protect your driveway. Roll off dumpsters are heavy — protection is optional but smart.
Locally Owned and Operated
We're based in Alpharetta. Our owner drives personally (CDL A certified, former firefighter/EMT). We're not a franchise or a call center in another state. You're dealing with someone who knows North Atlanta.
Family Owned, Built for Reliability
Adam and Madeline run this company. We care about showing up on time, treating your property right, and solving problems. Family reputation is everything.
How 10 Yard Dumpster Rental Works
Step 1: Call or Book Online
Call us now: (678) 787-2733 or visit dumpsterbrothers.com to book online. Let us know:
- Your project type (remodel, cleanout, etc.)
- Estimated weight and debris type
- Preferred delivery date and time
Step 2: We Confirm Same Day Availability
If you call by 10 AM, we’ll deliver the same day. If you call after 10 AM or book for a future date, we’ll confirm timing and address.
Step 3: We Deliver and Place It
Our driver arrives at your location, places the dumpster on your driveway or designated area, and positions it safely. We can back it in, use pads, or position it per your request. Fiberglass pads are available for $25 if you want extra driveway protection.
Step 4: You Load It
Load your debris over the next 14 days. Keep everything at or below the rim — nothing sticking above. Weight limit is 1 ton included. If you think you’ll go over, call us before you load the last few items.
Step 5: We Pick It Up
On or before day 14, we haul the dumpster away. Pickup is included. If you need an extension (going into day 15, 16, 17, etc.), call us and we’ll arrange it — no specific pricing, we handle it case by case.
Step 6: Done
You’re done. Your debris is disposed of properly, and you can move on with your project.
Junk Removal For Your 10 Yard Rental
Beyond standard construction debris, we also accept:
- Furniture from estate cleanouts, downsizing, or home clearing
- Appliances (stoves, washers, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, AC units)
- Electronics — TVs, computers, monitors, printers, stereos
- Yard waste branches, brush, leaves, grass clippings, tree debris
- Mixed household items from cleanouts and junk removal projects
All of these fit comfortably in a 10 yard for $399.
Important Reminders
No Waste Above the Rim
Your dumpster must be loaded level — nothing sticking above the top edge. If the dumpster is overfilled, we cannot haul it. Load smart, keep it inside the dumpster.
Weight Limits Are Real
1 ton is your limit. If you exceed 1 ton, you’ll be charged a pro rated overage amount. Avoid the surprise — call us if you’re unsure.

Frequently Asked Questions About 10 Yard Dumpsters
What is the exact size of a 10 yard dumpster?
A 10 yard dumpster measures 10ft L x 7.5ft W x 4.17ft H. The “10 yard” refers to the internal volume (10 cubic yards), not the exterior dimensions. All Dumpster Brothers 10 yard dumpsters are roll off style with easy top-loading access and back door.
Can I use a 10 yard dumpster for concrete?
Yes — a 10 yard works great for small concrete jobs. Concrete requires its own dedicated dumpster — it cannot be mixed with other debris. A 20 yard dumpster is the maximum for concrete projects.
What is the weight limit for a 10 yard dumpster?
Your 10 yard rental includes 1 ton of weight. If you exceed 1 ton, a pro rated amount will be charged for each additional ton.
Can I put drywall in a 10 yard dumpster?
Yes. Drywall is lightweight and is one of the most common items in 10 yard dumpsters. A full room of drywall (say, 1,000 sq ft of wall area) weighs roughly 500 pounds — well under your 1 ton limit. Drywall mixes fine with other construction debris like lumber, trim, and fasteners.
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Your rental period is 14 days flat rate at $399. That means you have two full weeks to load and use the dumpster. If you need to keep it longer (day 15, 16, 17, etc.), call us and we’ll arrange an extension.
Can I return a 10 yard dumpster early?
Yes, but there’s no refund. If you fill it in 3 days and want it picked up, call us and we’ll haul it away. The 14 day rate of $399 applies regardless of when you actually finish — whether 3 days or 14 days.
What's included in the $399 price?
Delivery (including same day if you call by 10 AM), placement, the 14 day rental, pickup, disposal, and 1 ton of weight are all included in the flat $399 rate. No hidden fees, no fuel surcharge, no small print surprises.
Do you deliver the same day for a 10 yard?
Yes, if you call by 10 AM, we deliver the same day, 7 days a week including Sunday. Call (678) 787-2733 to book same day delivery. If you call after 10 AM or want a future date, we’ll confirm timing based on availability.
Can I get a 10 yard dumpster on weekends?
Yes. We deliver 7 days a week, including Saturday, Sunday, and holidays. Call by 10 AM for same day weekend delivery.
What happens if my dumpster overflows?
Overflow (waste sticking above the rim) means we cannot haul the dumpster. Load everything at or below the dumpster edge. If you’re close to full, stop loading and call us — we can either pick it up or help you plan an additional dumpster.
Are there any items I can't put in a 10 yard dumpster?
Yes. Never put these in:
- Paint (liquid or cans)
- Tires (car or truck)
- Dirt or soil
- Hazardous materials (batteries, oil, antifreeze, solvents, pesticides)
Everything else commonly produced by home renovation, cleanouts, and small demolition is accepted.
How do I protect my driveway under the dumpster?
We offer fiberglass pads for $25 to protect asphalt or concrete from weight marks. This is optional — not standard, not included in the base rental. If you want protection, add pads at booking or call us before delivery.
Can I move the dumpster once it's placed?
No. Once we place it, it stays there. If you need it in a different location, call us and we can reposition it, though this may incur an additional fee depending on distance and complexity. Plan your placement before delivery.
