The 10 yard is the smallest roll-off we deliver in Scottsdale, and it's also the one we get asked about most from homeowners who have never rented a dumpster before. It sits low, fits on almost any residential driveway without hanging into the street, and it's the right call for a surprising amount of work -- a single-car garage that's become storage, a bathroom gut, a small paver patio tear-off, or a weekend of yard cleanup after a monsoon storm rolls through Maricopa County.

Don't judge this size by its footprint. At 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 3.5 feet tall, a 10 yard holds roughly 3-4 pickup truck loads of debris -- enough for most single-room projects without paying for volume you'll never fill. Our driver delivers it flat on our own truck, sets it exactly where you point, and picks it up on your schedule for one flat rate covering delivery, hauling and disposal.

Right job, right box

What this size is built for

Ideal projects

  • Single-car garage cleanout or decluttering ahead of a move
  • Full bathroom remodel or gut renovation
  • A small paver patio or planting bed tear-off (roughly 150-250 sq ft)
  • Flooring removal from two or three rooms
  • Post-monsoon yard cleanup or basement/storage decluttering
  • Small driveway apron or patio concrete/paver removal

Pick a different size if…

  • A full new-construction home build -- go with a 30 or 40 yard instead
  • Whole-house flooring tear-out across a 3+ bedroom home
  • A kitchen remodel with cabinets, countertops and flooring together -- size up to a 15
  • Any job generating more than a couple tons of heavy debris
  • Estate cleanouts or whole-house decluttering before a listing

Not sure? Call (480) 319-6826 and describe what you are looking at. We would rather sell you a smaller container than have you pay for space you do not use.

Capacity in real terms

How much actually fits

What you're loadingHow it fits in a 10 yard dumpster
Single-car garage, floor to ceilingFits comfortably with room to spare
200 sq ft paver patio tear-offOne full load, pavers and base material included
Small bathroom remodel (tub, vanity, tile, drywall)Fits with capacity left over
3-4 pickup truck loads of household junkThis is the volume a 10 yard is built for
Concrete or paver patio up to roughly 130 sq ft at 4 inches thickFits by weight -- this is the size we recommend for small concrete or paver jobs

Where the 10 yard earns its keep in Scottsdale

This size gets delivered often to older, tighter lots around Old Town Scottsdale, where a smaller container is sometimes the only thing that fits between the house and the curb without blocking a neighbor's driveway. It works just as well in Paradise Valley or Cave Creek for a single-room remodel rather than a full house.

The most common jobs we hear for this size: a garage that needs emptying before a move, a bathroom remodel down to the studs, a small paver patio or planting bed tear-off, old flooring pulled from two or three rooms, and general cleanup after a monsoon storm. If you're describing a project as "one room" or "one weekend," a 10 yard is usually right.

Weight limits matter more than volume for heavy loads

This is the size we point people toward for dense material even when a bigger box would technically hold more volume. Concrete, decomposed granite, pavers and roofing shingles are heavy -- a 10 yard fills its weight allowance long before it fills its box on those jobs. If you're tearing out a small driveway apron, a backyard patio slab, or clearing a pile of pavers common in a Scottsdale xeriscape renovation, this size keeps you under the included tonnage without paying for a 30 or 40 yard you'd never fill by volume.

As a rule of thumb: mixed household junk and remodel debris is a volume problem, while concrete, decomposed granite and shingles are a weight problem. Tell us which one you're dealing with when you call and we'll bring the right container the first time.

Delivery around Scottsdale's HOA communities and streets

Because several of Scottsdale's neighborhoods sit inside HOA-governed master-planned communities, the 10 yard's small footprint is often the practical choice even when a bigger container would technically fit the job. It's easy to place on almost any surface: driveway, street apron (a City of Scottsdale permit may apply if it needs to sit on the street or public right-of-way -- see our permit guide), or a flat spot on the lot if the driveway is already occupied. Our driver will lay down protective boards under the container on request so the driveway surface stays clean.

If this is your first time renting a roll-off, don't overthink it. Describe the project when you call (480) 319-6826 and we'll tell you plainly whether a 10 yard is enough or whether you'd be better served by a 15 yard.

Answers

10 Yard Dumpster — frequently asked questions

Will a 10 yard dumpster fit on a standard Scottsdale driveway?

Yes. At 14 feet long and 7.5 feet wide, it's the smallest container in our fleet and fits on nearly every residential driveway, including tighter older lots near Old Town Scottsdale. Our driver just needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to back it in.

Is a 10 yard big enough for a bathroom remodel?

For a single full bathroom -- vanity, tub or shower surround, tile, drywall and flooring -- yes, a 10 yard is usually the right fit and the most economical choice. If you're gutting two bathrooms at once or combining it with kitchen work, we'd recommend a 15 or 20 yard instead.

Can I put decomposed granite or concrete in a 10 yard dumpster?

You can, and for smaller loads it's actually the size we recommend, since those materials hit the weight allowance long before they fill the box. Let us know it's a granite or concrete load when you book so we bring the right weight allowance.

How much does a 10 yard dumpster hold compared to a pickup truck?

Roughly three to four full pickup truck loads. If you're picturing the job as "a few truck runs to the transfer station," a 10 yard usually replaces all of those trips in a single container.

What if I fill the 10 yard and need more room?

Call us at (480) 319-6826 and we'll bring a larger size or schedule an early pickup and a second container -- whichever gets your project moving faster.
