How much is the smallest dumpster to rent?

Published
April 15, 2025

If you’re wondering how much the smallest dumpster costs to rent, you’re probably working on a smaller cleanup project and want the most affordable option.

The smallest roll-off dumpster size is typically the 10-yard dumpster, and in most areas, it costs around $375 to $500 to rent — flat rate, including delivery, pickup, and disposal.

🎯 Pro tip: Many people assume they’ll save a lot of money by renting the smallest dumpster size. But the truth is, it costs roughly the same for a hauler to deliver a 30-yard as it does a 10-yard. That means the price difference to “size up” is usually minimal — and choosing a larger size gives you more space and a higher weight limit.


What Is a 10-Yard Dumpster?

10 yard dumpster dimensions

A 10-yard dumpster holds about 10 cubic yards of material, which is roughly the same as 4 pickup truck loads. It's the best size for:

  • Garage or attic cleanouts
  • Yard waste or landscaping debris
  • Small remodeling projects
  • Furniture disposal
  • Bathroom or kitchen demo (limited scope)
  • Heavy material like dirt, rock, brick or concrete

Most Common Dimensions:
📏 Approx. 11 ft long × 8 ft wide × 3.5 ft tall

Keep in mind that dimensions vary by area. Some 10-yarders are longer and not as tall and some are shorter and taller. Visit our service areas page to see sizes and dimensions for your area.

When a 10-Yard Dumpster Makes the Most Sense

If you have limited space (like a short driveway), a small amount of debris, or heavy material like dirt or concrete, the 10-yard is a smart choice.

✅ You have a single room to renovate or clean out
✅ You're getting rid of small household junk or yard debris
✅ You want the lowest-priced option available
✅ You’re tossing heavy material that reaches weight limits quickly
