How big is a 10 yard dumpster?
The 10 yard dumpster sizes we run in Beaverton stay close to 12 by 8 by 3.5 feet, which is small enough for a driveway but roomy enough for a garage cleanout or a bathroom tear-out. If you're weighing this against something bigger, our dumpster sizes and dimensions page lines up the 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard boxes side by side. A 10 cubic yard dumpster suits small remodels, yard debris and single-room demo. For a full kitchen gut or a roof tear-off, step up to the 20 yard dumpster rental instead. Delivery in Beaverton needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck so the driver can set the box down flat, so clear the driveway or curb lane before the truck arrives. Homeowners in Cedar Hills, 2.3 miles north of Beaverton, and folks out toward West Slope call us for the same size box for similar jobs. Not sure this is the right size? Our how many porta potties do I need guide covers restroom counts, but for dumpster sizing, just tell us the project and we'll size it over the phone.
What can't go in a 10 yard trash dumpster?
Paint, tires, batteries, refrigerants and most liquids are off-limits in a standard roll-off, and our what cannot go in a dumpster page spells out the full list. Weight matters too. Every 10 yard roll off dumpster we place has a rated load limit, and going over it adds a per-ton overage charge, which our dumpster weight limits page explains in plain terms. Construction debris, drywall, old flooring and yard waste are all fine. If your project is a larger build in Beaverton, pair the dumpster with our construction dumpster rental service, or ask about a temporary fence rental to keep the site secured between hauls. Placement on a public street in Beaverton may need sign-off from the city, so check with the city before you set the box at the curb; our dumpster permit requirements page walks through when that step applies.
Do I need a permit to rent a 10 yard dumpster in Beaverton?
Whether you need one comes down to where the box sits. Keep it on your own driveway and you likely won't need anything from the city. Put it in the street or right of way and Beaverton will want to sign off first, so that placement needs confirming with the city before delivery. We cover the specifics on our porta potty permit requirements page, and the same logic applies to roll-off placement. Our crew has dropped boxes for renovation jobs as close as Beaverton proper and as far as Tigard, 6.1 miles southeast, so we know how site access differs block to block. For full cost breakdowns across every size, see our dumpster rental cost guide, which sets these numbers next to the 20, 30 and 40 yard options.

| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Most renters keep it 3 to 7 days for a cleanout, but weekly and monthly terms are both available. A weekend rate also exists if you just need Friday to Monday. Longer jobs, like a full home renovation, usually make more sense on a monthly porta potty rental style flat-rate month term instead of daily.
Can I fill a 10 yard dumpster with construction debris and yard waste together?
Yes, mixed loads are fine in most cases, but check the weight limit before combining heavy debris like concrete with bulky yard waste. Mixing materials rarely causes rejection; overloading the box does. Call ahead if you're unsure what a specific material mix will weigh.
Is a 10 yard dumpster big enough for a bathroom remodel?
Usually, yes. A single bathroom tear-out, including tile, drywall and an old tub, typically fits within a 10 yard box. Larger bathrooms with cast iron tubs or extensive tile can push toward the 20 yard dumpster rental instead.
How much clearance does delivery require?
Plan on roughly 60 feet of straight, unobstructed space behind the truck. That lets the driver angle the box off the truck bed and set it down without hitting a fence, tree or parked car.
