How Big Is a 10 Yard Dumpster?
Ten cubic yards fills a box close to 12 feet by 8 feet by 3.5 feet, though exact 10 yard dumpster measurements shift a little between manufacturers, and 10 yard dumpster sizes from different suppliers can vary by a few inches either way. That footprint fits a driveway without eating the whole yard, which is why it is the size most Lehi homeowners ask for first. If you are clearing out a garage, tearing up old carpet, or handling a small landscaping job, this is probably your unit, and it pairs well with a temporary fence rental if the work site needs to stay closed off from the street. For bigger tear-outs, compare it against a 20 yard dumpster rental or a 30 yard dumpster rental before you commit. Not sure this is even the right category of job? The dumpster sizes and dimensions page lays out every option side by side, and Lehi Porta Pros can walk you through it on the phone in a couple of minutes.
Delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so a short or curved driveway can complicate placement, the same clearance issue we flag on the roll-off dumpster rental page for every size in the lineup. Tell us about gates, low branches or parked cars when you book, and we will plan around them.
What Does a 10 Yard Dumpster Cost in Lehi?
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Day rates suit a weekend cleanout, and if you would rather rent a 10 yard roll off dumpster by the day than commit to a week, that option is right there in the table above. Weekly rates make sense for a contractor working a room-by-room remodel over several days. A separate delivery fee usually applies on top of the rental, and that runs 100 to 150 dollars for a day rental or 50 to 100 dollars if you are renting by the week. For a full breakdown of what drives the number up or down, see dumpster rental cost and, if you are still deciding between sizes, 10 yard dumpster rental versus the 40 yard dumpster rental for a full gut job.
Weight matters too. A 10 yard box has a lower weight ceiling than the bigger roll-offs, so loading it with wet drywall, tile or dirt can trip an overage charge fast, and if the debris is really a mix of household junk and yard trash, a storage container rental is not the right substitute, so stick with the dumpster. Check dumpster weight limits before you fill it with anything heavier than household trash and construction scrap.
Do I Need a Permit for a Dumpster in Lehi?
If the dumpster sits on a public street or right of way, placement needs confirming with the city before drop-off. We have not verified a specific Lehi ordinance number for this, so do not assume a driveway rule applies to the street, and vice versa. Call the city or ask Lehi Porta Pros to confirm before delivery day, especially if your driveway cannot fit the required 60 feet of straight clearance and the truck has to use the curb instead.
Placement on your own property, driveway or lot generally avoids this question entirely, similar to how porta potty placement guide advice treats private lots versus public sidewalks. If you are working a job site rather than a home cleanout, pair the dumpster with construction dumpster rental service and check what actually belongs inside it on what cannot go in a dumpster, since paint, tires and certain chemicals are usually excluded.
Homeowners near American Fork, about 5.9 miles southeast of Lehi, and Saratoga Springs, roughly 8.1 miles southwest, use the same permit logic. So does anyone booking from Draper, 8.4 miles north, or checking the full list on service areas.
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Most Lehi rentals run from a single day up to a full week, with monthly options available for longer projects. Daily rates start at 51 dollars; weekly rentals start at 426 dollars. Tell us your timeline upfront so we can quote the right duration instead of defaulting to a day rate that gets expensive fast, and the porta potty monthly rental page shows how the same logic applies to restrooms if you need both on site.
What fits in a 10 yard dumpster?
Small demo debris, yard waste, old furniture, flooring and roofing shingles from a single-layer tear-off all fit comfortably. It holds about 4 pickup truck loads. Heavier material like concrete or dirt hits the weight limit before it hits the fill line, so check dumpster weight limits first, and pair it with a handwashing station rental if crew are on site all day.
Can I put a 10 yard dumpster on the street in Lehi?
Maybe, but street placement needs confirming with the city first. We have not verified a specific right-of-way rule for Lehi, so ask before delivery rather than assuming. Driveway placement sidesteps the question and is usually the simpler choice for a short-term rental.
How much clearance does delivery need?
Plan on roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for the roll-off to back in safely. Narrow or curved driveways in older Lehi neighborhoods sometimes cannot accommodate that, so mention your driveway shape when you book so we can plan the approach.
Is a 10 yard dumpster big enough for a kitchen remodel?
It depends on scope. A single-room refresh, cabinets and flooring only, usually fits. A full gut with drywall, tile and old appliances often needs a 20 yard dumpster rental instead. Ask Lehi Porta Pros for a quick size recommendation based on your project.
