10 Yard Dumpster Rental in Cottonwood Heights, UT
The 10 yard is the container people underestimate. It fits a single-car driveway or a tight bench lot without blocking the garage, and for anything genuinely heavy it is not a compromise but the only container that can legally be moved once full.
Specifications
- Dimensions12 ft long x 8 ft wide x 3.5 ft high
- Holds roughlyabout 3 pickup truck loads
- Weight included1 to 2 tons included
- Space neededroughly 45 to 55 ft of straight approach
What this size suits
- Single-room clearances and small garage clear-outs
- Bathroom remodels including tile and fixtures
- Concrete, brick, block and stone as clean fill
- Clean, dry soil and landscaping spoil
- Tight bench and hillside driveways
- Small patio and sidewalk tear-outs
Not the right choice for: Whole-house clearances, framing debris or anything bulky. Household contents fill a 10 yard far faster than people expect.
Why heavy material has to go in the small box
Concrete runs to roughly two tons per cubic yard, so a legally loaded clean-fill container is filled to about a third of its height. Keeping that material clean and dry also keeps it on the low soil rate or routes it as clean fill, rather than the $36-per-ton Mixed Trash rate the county charges for contaminated loads.
Ideal for tight bench lots
At twelve by eight feet the 10 yard fits where nothing larger will - narrow bench driveways, steep hillside lots and any job where the approach climbs or curves. Where grade and space rather than volume are the constraint, a 10 yard swapped twice beats a 30 that cannot physically be placed.
What it will not do
Do not order a 10 yard for a house clearance. Furniture, mattresses and general household contents are bulky and you will fill it three times over, which costs more than a single 30 yard would have.

(801) 346-611110 Yard Dumpster: common questions
Will a 10 yard fit on my bench driveway?
Almost certainly. At twelve by eight feet it takes up less room than a mid-sized car and suits the tighter, steeper lots on the east bench. We plank and chock on grade so it sits level. A street photo helps us confirm the approach.
Why do I need a 10 yard for concrete rather than something bigger?
Because a larger container filled with concrete could not legally be transported. Concrete runs to about two tons per cubic yard, so a 10 yard filled level is already at the truck's legal road weight.
Is a 10 yard enough for a bathroom remodel?
Usually yes, including tile, tub, vanity and fixtures. Bathroom debris is dense rather than bulky, which is exactly what this container suits.
