A 10 yard dumpster measures about 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet high, and it holds roughly 3 pickup truck loads of debris. If you plan to rent 10 yard dumpster equipment for a small cleanout, single-room remodel or yard debris job in South Fulton, GA, this 10-yard dumpster dimensions profile usually beats a bigger box that sits half empty. See the full porta potty rental lineup if you need sanitation on the same site.
A 10 cubic yard dumpster, sometimes called a 10 yard trash dumpster or 10 yard roll off dumpster, works out to those 10 yard dumpster measurements above, low sides and a short footprint, which is why it tucks into driveways where a 20 yard dumpster or 30 yard dumpster would not fit. If you are staring at a garage full of junk or tearing out one bathroom, this size usually does it without paying for volume you will not use. Compare it against the dumpster sizes and dimensions page if you are between two options. Delivery still needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so a short cul-de-sac in South Fulton can be tighter than it looks. South Fulton Porta Pros walks that clearance with you over the phone before the truck ever leaves the yard, because a blocked driveway means a wasted trip and a redelivery fee nobody wants. If your project is a full remodel rather than a one-time haul, look at construction dumpster rental or the 40 yard storage container option for longer-term material staging.
Household junk, yard waste, wood, drywall and most renovation debris load fine into a 10 yard box, but certain materials are barred everywhere in the industry, not just here. Tires, batteries, paint cans, refrigerants and anything flammable belong on the what cannot go in a dumpster list, and mixing them in can stall your pickup. Weight matters too, since a full load of shingles or concrete can hit the truck's limit before the box looks full. Check the dumpster weight limits guide before you load anything dense. If you are running a job site rather than a home cleanout, pair the dumpster with the rest of your construction site services, since crews on multi-day jobs usually need a standard porta potty rental or portable toilet rental on-site too under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), which sets toilet counts at one facility for 20 workers or fewer. Home renovation crews doing a single-room gut job often add a home renovation porta potty alongside the box rather than a full trailer.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |

| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Pricing depends on how long you keep the box and what's going into it. A weekend rental runs in the $390 to $497 range, which covers most Friday-drop, Monday-pickup cleanout jobs without committing to a full week. For a broader breakdown across all sizes, see dumpster rental cost in South Fulton, or compare against porta potty rental cost if you're budgeting a whole job site. Delivery is typically billed separately, and you can check current delivery ranges before you book, the same way you would when working out a porta potty rental per day rate. If your project runs longer than expected, ask about switching to the monthly rate rather than paying repeated weekly charges.
Before you set the drop spot, confirm placement with the city. Permit rules for dumpsters placed on a street or right-of-way vary by municipality, and South Fulton's specific requirements are not something we'll guess at here. Check the dumpster permit requirements page and confirm with the city directly if the box is going anywhere other than your own driveway, and review the porta potty permit requirements page too if you're adding a toilet to the same site.
South Fulton Porta Pros also handles the rest of a job site or event footprint: temporary fence rental to secure the perimeter, storage container rental for tools and materials, and septic pumping service for properties without city sewer. If you're 11 miles east toward East Point or 12 miles northwest near Douglasville, the same size and pricing structure applies, so ask when you request a quote. For jobs closer to home base, see the main porta potty rental in South Fulton page or the broader service areas list.
Most rentals run by the day, week or month, and the table above covers all three. Weekend rates work well for quick weekend cleanout projects. If your timeline is unclear, book by the week. Extending is easier than shortening a locked-in month.
If the dumpster sits on your own driveway or property, you likely won't need one. Street or right-of-way placement is different, and South Fulton's rule on that is not something to guess at. Confirm directly with the city before delivery.
Weight limits depend on the material, not just the volume. Heavy debris like concrete or shingles can max out the truck's limit before the box looks full. Check dumpster weight limits before loading anything dense, since overages add cost.
Usually yes, within the same 10 yard box, as long as banned items stay out. Paint, tires, batteries and flammables are excluded industry-wide. Review what cannot go in a dumpster so your load doesn't get flagged at pickup.
The 10 yard box is roughly half the length and holds about a third less debris than the 20 yard dumpster. Choose 10 yard for single-room jobs, garage cleanouts or small yard debris projects where space is tight, and see the dumpster sizes and dimensions page for a side-by-side look before you request a quote.
