Capacity

10 cubic yards — about 3 pickup truck loads

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 Appleton 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. Wisconsin regulates construction and demolition debris under DNR chapters NR 500–538, and clean, source-separated concrete, brick, untreated wood, soil and building stone can often bypass solid-waste licensing requirements entirely as long as they stay clear of floodplains, wetlands and surface waters — which is exactly the kind of load a 10 yard is built to carry.

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, so it's the one most likely to sit square on a tighter driveway — the kind of compact subdivision lot common around Grand Chute, near Fox River Mall — without crowding the sidewalk or a neighbor's fence line. Almost every 10 yard we deliver in and around Appleton sits entirely on the customer's own driveway; a right-of-way permit only enters the picture if the box has to sit on the street or sidewalk instead.

Straight advice: If the pile is dense — concrete, dirt, brick, tile — this is the container regardless of how small the job feels. Keep debris below the top rail, separate out metals and untreated wood for recycling rather than the landfill, 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 tile — heavy material stays in a 10 or 15, never bigger
  • Small roofing tear-offs, up to roughly 15 squares
  • Bathroom strip-outs and small remodels
  • Small deck, fence or shed teardown
  • Tighter driveways and compact subdivision lots around Appleton and Grand Chute
  • Any load where weight, not volume, is the limiting factor

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 compact subdivision lot around Grand Chute or in-town Appleton in particular — where a longer box would not sit square.

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

Yes — this is one of the two sizes built for it, alongside the 15 yard. Wisconsin DNR rules let clean, source-separated concrete, brick and untreated wood often bypass solid-waste licensing when they're kept clear of floodplains and wetlands, and this is the box sized for exactly that kind of dense material. 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 Appleton right-of-way permit is only required if the container has to sit on a public street or sidewalk instead of your own driveway or property. Almost every 10 yard we deliver sits entirely on a driveway, and if yours is the exception, we'll help you sort out the permit before delivery.
