How Big Is a 10 Yard Dumpster?
The 10 yard box is the smallest roll off most companies stock, and it is the right call when you want to rent 10 yard dumpster capacity without gutting a whole house. Picture a two-car garage cleanout, a bathroom tear-out, or a few rooms of old carpet and drywall. Irving Porta Pros drops these 10 yard roll off dumpster units on driveways and job sites where a bigger container would eat too much space. If you are not sure this is the right size, dumpster sizes and dimensions walks through how the 10 compares to the 20 yard, 30 yard and 40 yard boxes side by side. A roll off truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set the container down, so measure your driveway or curb space in Irving before you book. Homeowners doing a kitchen tear-out or garage purge tend to land here, and it pairs well with a home renovation porta potty if crews are on site for more than a day. Contractors juggling several small punch-list jobs across Irving often keep a 10 yard trash dumpster staged for exactly this size of debris load, and it is worth checking what cannot go in a dumpster before you start filling it.
What Does a 10 Yard Dumpster Cost in Irving?
| Duration | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Day | $51 - $112 |
| Week | $426 - $778 |
| Month | $91 - $500 |
Day rates fit a fast, one-day cleanout. Weekly and monthly rates apply once a job runs longer, and a full week or month always costs more than a single day rental since you are holding the container on site. A delivery fee applies on top of the rental, and that alone can run from $100 to $500 depending on distance and access. For a fuller breakdown of what drives the total, see dumpster rental cost, and if you are also renting portable restrooms for the same project, porta potty rental cost covers that side of the budget. Weight matters too. Most 10 yard rentals include a set weight allowance, and going over it adds a per-ton charge, so check dumpster weight limits before loading concrete, dirt or roofing shingles.
Do I Need a Permit for a 10 Yard Dumpster in Irving?
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or curb rather than your own driveway, needs confirming with the City of Irving before delivery. If the container sits entirely on private property, driveway or yard, permitting is generally simpler, but rules vary by job. Dumpster permit requirements covers what to ask the city and what Irving Porta Pros can help confirm before your delivery date. Contractors working active job sites in Irving should also check construction dumpster rental for details on job-site housekeeping, since OSHA 1926.25 requires scrap and debris to be cleared from work areas regularly, and a properly sized roll off is how most crews stay compliant. If your project is out toward Coppell, 8.7 miles north, or Farmers Branch, 11.3 miles northeast, delivery logistics and drive time can shift the delivery fee slightly, so mention your location when you request a quote.
How much debris fits in a 10 yard dumpster?

How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Day, week and month rentals are all available, and the table above shows how pricing scales with duration. Most Irving customers doing a weekend cleanout book the day or weekend rate, while contractors on longer jobs move to the weekly or monthly rate.
Can I put a 10 yard dumpster in my driveway?
Yes, driveway placement is the most common setup and usually avoids right-of-way permitting questions entirely. Just confirm your driveway offers the 60 feet of straight clearance the delivery truck needs to place the container safely.
What is not allowed in a 10 yard dumpster?
