How big is a 10 yard dumpster?
The 10 yard dumpster sizes and dimensions run close to 12 by 8 by 3.5 feet, though the exact 10-yard dumpster dimensions shift slightly by manufacturer. That footprint fits a single-car driveway in most Redmond neighborhoods without blocking the sidewalk. Redmond Porta Pros positions the box so the low wall side faces your work area, which makes loading a lot easier than reaching over a tall door. If you're not sure this size covers your job, compare it against the dumpster sizes and dimensions guide before you commit. A 20 yard dumpster rental or 30 yard dumpster rental makes more sense for a full kitchen tear-out or a roofing job with heavy tonnage. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the unit to set it down safely, so a short or curved driveway can limit placement. We'll walk that with you over the phone before the truck ever leaves the yard. For anyone weighing a 10 cubic yard dumpster against renting two smaller units back to back, one 10 yard box delivered once is almost always cheaper than two trips of a smaller container across a long project.
What can and cannot go in a 10 yard dumpster?
Most household debris is fine: drywall, old furniture, yard waste, flooring, and general construction scrap. What's not allowed follows the same rules across every size we offer, so check the what cannot go in a dumpster page before loading paint cans, tires, batteries or anything flammable. Weight matters as much as volume with a 10 yard trash dumpster. Overloading past the rated limit brings extra charges, and the dumpster weight limits page breaks down what triggers those fees. If your load includes shingles or concrete, mention it when you book. Dense material fills the weight limit long before it fills the box, and a heavier-duty size like a 40 yard storage container alternative or a bigger roll-off may actually cost less per ton. Renters doing a home project should also look at home renovation porta potty options if the crew is on-site more than a day, since a dumpster alone doesn't cover sanitation. Contractors working near Union Hill-Novelty Hill, 6.4 miles east of Redmond, or Woodinville, 7.1 miles north, get the same delivery window and pricing as in-city drops.

A separate delivery fee usually applies on top of the rental rate, and that runs from $100 to $150 for a standard day delivery based on measured pricing. For a full cost breakdown across all sizes, see dumpster rental cost or check roll-off dumpster rental for the pillar overview. Construction crews juggling multiple site needs often bundle a dumpster with temporary fence rental or a construction dumpster rental plan that covers the whole job. Homeowners near Issaquah, 13.1 miles south of Redmond, pay the same rate structure, since pricing here is set by unit size and duration, not by neighborhood.
Do I need a permit for a 10 yard dumpster in Redmond?
Permit rules depend on where the dumpster sits. Placing it in the street or right of way needs confirming with the City of Redmond directly. If it stays on your driveway or private property, permits usually aren't required. Check the dumpster permit requirements page and confirm placement rules with the city before delivery day.
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Day, week and month terms are all available, and the table above shows the pricing tiers. Most 10 yard rentals for a garage cleanout wrap up in a day or two, while remodels often need the week or month rate.
Will the delivery truck fit my driveway?
The truck needs roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point. Narrow, curved, or sloped driveways in some Redmond lots can complicate this, so tell us your driveway layout when you book and we'll confirm placement works.
What's the difference between a 10 yard and 20 yard dumpster?
A 10 yard box handles small cleanouts and light remodel debris. A 20 yard dumpster rental roughly doubles the volume, which suits bigger flooring or demolition jobs without doubling the footprint on your property.
Can I rent a dumpster and a portable toilet together?
Yes. Many Redmond job sites order both at once. Check construction site services or portable toilet rental to bundle delivery and cut down on separate trip charges.
