The 10 Yard Dumpster: Small Footprint, Heavy Lifting
The 10 yard roll-off is the smallest dumpster Waste Falcon carries, and for a lot of Brazos Valley projects it is exactly the right call. It holds about three pickup truck loads of debris and sits in a footprint roughly the size of two parking spaces — small enough for a tight driveway in a College Station neighborhood, big enough to clear out a renovation without a second trip to the landfill.
If your project produces heavy debris — concrete, brick, dirt, tile, or roofing shingles — the 10 yard is often the better choice over a larger container. Dense material reaches the weight limit well before it fills the box, so renting a bigger dumpster just means paying to move empty space.
What the 10 Yard Dumpster Is Best For
- Bathroom or small kitchen remodel — cabinets, fixtures, tile, and drywall from a single room
- Single-room or closet cleanout — furniture, flooring, and household junk
- Small concrete, dirt, or brick removal — patios, walkways, and landscaping
- Garage or shed declutter — years of accumulated stuff, gone in a weekend
- Small deck tear-off — lumber and railing from a modest structure
Dimensions and Capacity
The 10 yard measures roughly 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 3.5 feet tall. The low wall height matters: you can walk debris in over the side or load it from a wheelbarrow without hoisting everything overhead. It holds about three pickup truck loads and includes 1–2 tons of disposal in your flat rate.
What You Can and Can’t Put In
Most household and construction debris is fair game: lumber, drywall, flooring, furniture, cabinetry, roofing, concrete, and yard waste. What we can’t take includes hazardous materials, wet paint, tires, batteries, appliances with refrigerant, and electronics. If you are unsure about a specific item, ask when you book — we would rather answer the question than charge you a contamination fee later.
What a 10 Yard Dumpster Costs
Waste Falcon prices the 10 yard as a flat rate that includes delivery, pickup, your rental period, and the disposal of the tonnage included with the container. There is no separate trip charge and no fuel surcharge buried in the fine print. The only variable is weight: if you go over the included tonnage, the overage is billed at the landfill’s posted rate, prorated and itemized — never marked up. Call (877) 779-2783 and describe the job; we’ll quote a firm number in about a minute.
Not the Right Size?
If you’re clearing a whole house or tearing off a roof, the 15 yard dumpster gives you more room for bulky debris. For larger renovations and construction, see the 20 yard dumpster. You can also compare every option on our dumpster sizes guide.
