How big is a 10 yard dumpster?
The 10 cubic yard dumpster is the smallest roll off Burbank Porta Pros delivers, and its footprint is the reason homeowners pick it over anything larger. Among the 10 yard dumpster sizes we quote, this 10 yard roll off dumpster is the tightest fit for a driveway job. At 12 feet by 8 feet, these 10 yard dumpster measurements let it tuck along a fence line or across two driveway spots without blocking a garage door, and these 10-yard dumpster dimensions are worth writing down before delivery day. The low 3.5 foot wall height matters too: it's easy to toss shingles, drywall or yard debris over the side without a ladder. If you're not sure this size covers your project, the guide on how many porta potties do I need covers a similar sizing logic, and our roll-off dumpster rental page walks through yardage by project type. Compare it side by side with a 20 yard dumpster rental or the bigger 30 yard dumpster rental before you book, since swapping sizes mid-job costs more than getting it right the first time. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point, so a narrow Burbank alley or a tight cul-de-sac may need a different placement plan.
What can I put in a 10 yard dumpster?
Most household debris goes in fine: drywall, flooring, old furniture, yard waste, roofing shingles from a small job. What doesn't belong is on our what cannot go in a dumpster list, and it's worth a read before you fill the box, because pulling banned material back out costs you time and sometimes a fee. Weight matters as much as volume on a 10 yarder. Concrete, dirt and shingles are dense, and our dumpster weight limits page explains how tonnage caps work so you don't get hit with an overage charge. If your project is a construction tear-out rather than a cleanout, look at construction dumpster rental instead, since job site debris volume and mix often calls for the next size up. Burbank households doing a single-room renovation are the most common fit for this size, and pairing it with a home renovation porta potty covers both ends of a multi-week remodel when the crew is on site daily.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Burbank?
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or curb rather than your own driveway, needs confirming with the City of Burbank before delivery. If the box sits entirely on private property, that's usually a simpler call, but street placement is a separate question. Our dumpster permit requirements page walks through what to ask the city and when to ask it, and we'd rather you check before delivery day than find out the box has to move. This is a smaller concern with a 10 yard unit than a 30 or 40 yard box, since the compact footprint usually clears sidewalks and driveways without touching the curb.
| unit | duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| dumpster | day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| dumpster | weekend | $390 | $440 | $497 |
| dumpster | week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| dumpster | month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Full pricing detail, including delivery fees, lives on dumpster rental cost. If you're weighing a dumpster against onsite portable restrooms for the same job, construction site services covers both together, and porta potty rental cost breaks out toilet pricing the same way.
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Most Burbank rentals run a weekend, a week or a full month, priced separately in the table above. Weekly rates suit renovation jobs; monthly rates suit slower cleanouts or ongoing construction. Ask about swap-outs if your debris volume runs past what one box can hold.
What's the difference between a 10 yard and 20 yard dumpster?
The 10 yard box is roughly half the volume of a 20 yard dumpster rental, with a shorter footprint that suits tighter driveways. Choose 10 yard for single-room work; choose 20 yard for whole-house cleanouts or bigger renovation debris loads.
Can I place a dumpster on the street in Burbank?
Street placement needs confirming with the city first. Driveway or private-lot placement is typically simpler. See dumpster permit requirements for what to ask before your delivery date is set.
How much clearance does delivery need?
The delivery truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop spot to place a roll off safely. Narrow alleys or tight turns in older Burbank neighborhoods sometimes call for an alternate placement on site.
