10-Yard Dumpster Rental

The 10-yard is the right pick when your pile is real but not huge. Think a bathroom gut in a Hayes Barton bungalow, a garage or attic cleanout in Mordecai, a small deck tear-off in Boylan Heights, or the heavy stuff, broken concrete, tile, brick, where a bigger box would blow past the weight limit before it ever fills up. Because dense debris hits the weight cap fast, a 10-yard often makes more sense than a 20-yard for demolition-only loads.

Size-wise, a 10-yard measures roughly 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and about 3.5 feet tall. That low profile is why it slides onto tight driveways in Five Points and Cameron Village where a taller container would crowd the curb. On most private driveways in Raleigh you will not need a permit; if the dumpster has to sit on a public street, common on the narrower lanes around Oakwood, the city may require a right-of-way permit, and we will tell you that up front instead of after the fact.

Step up to a 20-yard if you are clearing a whole house, doing a full kitchen with cabinets, or hauling a mix of bulky furniture and construction debris, the 10-yard fills faster than people expect on volume jobs. Keep the 10-yard when space is tight, the load is heavy, or the project is one room, one weekend. Newer builds in Wakefield and Bedford at Falls River usually have driveway room for either, so there the choice comes down to how much you are actually throwing out.

Every quote is flat and all-in, delivery, pickup, disposal, and your rental window in one number. Our posted prohibited-items list covers paint, oils, tires, batteries, and appliances with refrigerant, so you can sort the pile before we arrive and avoid surprise fees. If you are near the weight cap or unsure whether concrete counts as heavy debris, say so on the phone and we will size it right the first time.
