How big is a 10 yard dumpster?
A 10 cubic yard dumpster fills a box about the size of a one-car garage floor, but only waist high, and the 10-yard dumpster dimensions come out to roughly 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet high. That is the 10 yard dumpster size in plain terms, and it holds the same 10 yard dumpster measurements whether you book it as a 10 yard roll off dumpster for construction debris or a smaller residential box: enough for old carpet, a couple rooms of drywall, or yard debris from a weekend cleanup. If you are gutting a kitchen or tearing off a roof, step up and compare it against the 20 yard dumpster rental before you book, because the 10 yard fills faster than people expect. Homeowners in Davie doing a garage purge or a fence teardown usually land right in this size. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions if you're between two options, and see what cannot go in a dumpster before you load anything questionable, since certain materials get rejected at the dump and billed back to you.
What does a 10 yard dumpster cost in Davie?
Pricing depends on how long you keep it and what delivery looks like. A day rental runs $51 to $112, a week runs $426 to $778, and a month runs $91 to $500, based on our measured pricing data. Delivery fees typically run $50 to $150 for a week-long rental, separate from the box itself. Weight matters too. Check dumpster weight limits before you fill it with anything dense like concrete or shingles, since overage charges apply past the included ton allowance.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |

Do I need a permit for a 10 yard dumpster in Davie?
Maybe, and it depends on where the box sits. If the dumpster goes on your own driveway, most Davie properties won't need anything from the city. If it has to sit in the street or blocks a sidewalk, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery day, since we can't quote a specific ordinance here. Call ahead rather than guess. Full detail lives on dumpster permit requirements, and the same right-of-way question comes up for temporary fence rental placed along a sidewalk or curb.
Delivery itself needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck so the driver can back the roll-off box into place safely. Measure your driveway or street frontage before scheduling, especially on narrower lots closer to central Davie. If your project also needs a fenced perimeter around the dumpster or the work zone, look at chain-link temporary fence options while you're planning delivery logistics.
Homeowners 3.4 miles south in Cooper City and 5.1 miles north in Plantation use the same 10 yard box for comparable cleanouts, so sizing advice carries across city lines even though permit rules do not. For construction-grade jobs with ongoing debris, pair the dumpster with full construction site services and consider a portable toilet rental if crews are on-site more than a day.

Frequently asked questions
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Most rentals run a set number of days built into the base price, with weekly and monthly options available if the job runs long. Extending is usually just a phone call. Ask about the day rate first if you only need it for a quick weekend cleanup.
What can't go in a 10 yard dumpster?
Paint, tires, batteries, and hazardous chemicals typically get rejected at disposal facilities. Full detail is on what cannot go in a dumpster. When in doubt, ask before loading, since a rejected load costs you a second trip.
Will a 10 yard dumpster fit in my driveway?
Most standard driveways handle it fine, but the truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point to back in safely. Narrow or curved driveways sometimes need street placement instead, which raises the permit question above.
How much weight can a 10 yard dumpster hold?
Weight limits vary by what you're loading, since concrete and shingles weigh far more than furniture or yard waste per cubic yard. See dumpster weight limits for the specifics before you commit to a size.
Is a 10 yard dumpster big enough for a bathroom remodel?
Usually yes, for a single small bathroom with tile, a vanity and drywall. Larger remodels with tubs or multiple rooms often need the 20 yard dumpster rental instead. When unsure, call and describe the job.
