How big is a 10 yard dumpster?
The 10 cubic yard dumpster is the smallest roll off Clovis Porta Pros delivers, and among the 10 yard dumpster sizes and dimensions we offer, this one matters more for driveway planning than the yardage number alone. At roughly 12 feet by 8 feet on the ground and about 3.5 feet tall, these 10 yard dumpster measurements clear most garage doors and side yards where a bigger box won't fit, and this is the 10 yard dumpster size most homeowners land on for a single-room job. Compare that against the dumpster sizes and dimensions chart if you're deciding between this and a 20 yard dumpster rental. Every roll off truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set the container down, so measure your driveway or street frontage before booking. That clearance rule applies the same way whether you're in Clovis proper or out toward Tarpey Village, 3.3 miles south. If you're not sure this size covers your project, the how many porta potties do I need guide has a sanitation-side version of the same math, and our construction dumpster rental page breaks down volume by job type.
What can I put in a 10 yard dumpster?
Most household cleanouts, small remodel debris and yard waste fit fine, but certain materials never belong in any roll off. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before you load anything questionable, because paint cans, tires and electronics usually get rejected at the landfill and can trigger a redelivery fee. Weight matters as much as volume with this size. A 10 yard box fills up fast with concrete or shingles, so read dumpster weight limits if you're tackling anything dense. Renovation debris is the most common load we see in Clovis, and homeowners doing a bathroom or kitchen tear-out usually pair a 10 yard dumpster with a home renovation porta potty when the crew is on site more than a day. For active construction with a larger crew, general site sanitation still applies under OSHA 1926.51(c), which sets toilet counts by worker headcount even on small residential jobs. If your city permit needs sorting first, the dumpster permit requirements page walks through when placement in the right of way needs confirming with the city.

| duration | low | typical | high |

Delivery is billed separately in most cases, and that fee runs 100 to 500 dollars for a single day depending on distance from our yard. Weekly rentals make sense for remodels that stretch past a weekend, and full pricing logic lives on the dumpster rental cost page. If you're comparing sizes before committing, the 10 yard dumpster rental page you're on now is the smallest step up from bagged trash service, with 20 yard, 30 yard and 40 yard dumpster rental options above it for bigger tear-outs. Clovis Porta Pros also services jobs out toward Mayfair, 7.2 miles southwest, and Fort Washington, 8.0 miles northwest, at the same rates. For full site setups that need more than just a dumpster, our construction site services page bundles fencing, power and sanitation together.
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Most rentals run a weekend or a full week, though month-long terms are available for slower renovation timelines. Daily rates apply if you only need it overnight for a quick cleanout. Ask about swap-outs if your project runs long; we can pull a full container and drop an empty one without a new delivery charge in most cases.
Will a 10 yard dumpster fit in my driveway?
Usually, yes. At about 12 feet by 8 feet, it fits most residential driveways in Clovis, but the truck needs 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point to place it safely. Measure your approach first, especially on a sloped or curved driveway.
What's the difference between a 10 and 20 yard dumpster?
The 10 yard box is roughly half the length of a 20 yard container and suits smaller cleanouts, garage purges or single-room remodels. If you're generating debris from a whole-house project, the 20 yard dumpster rental page has the sizing details.
Do I need a permit for a 10 yard dumpster in Clovis?
Only if it sits in the street or public right of way. Driveway placement typically doesn't require one, but confirm with the city before delivery. See dumpster permit requirements for what to check.
Can I mix construction debris and household trash?
Generally yes in a single 10 yard dumpster, but hazardous items are never allowed regardless of category. Review what cannot go in a dumpster before loading, since violations can mean extra fees at disposal.
