A 10 yard dumpster measures about 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet high, and it holds roughly 4 pickup truck loads of debris. Des Plaines Porta Pros rents them by the day, week or month, with day rates starting at 51 dollars. It works for garage cleanouts, small roofing jobs and yard debris, and pairs well with a construction site services package if you are also renting a toilet for the crew.
If you are picturing a 10 yard roll off dumpster next to your driveway, think small trailer, not shipping container. The 10-yard dumpster dimensions run about 12 feet by 8 feet on the ground, with walls around 3.5 feet tall, low enough to toss debris over the side by hand. That makes it the right pick for a bathroom demo, a basement cleanout, or clearing a shed before a move, similar in scale to prep work for a home renovation porta potty job. Compare it against the dumpster sizes and dimensions guide before you commit, because a 20 yard unit costs more but might save a second haul. Every roll off, including the 10 cubic yard dumpster, needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the delivery truck, so measure your driveway or street frontage in Des Plaines before scheduling. If you are not sure which size fits your project, the roll-off dumpster rental page walks through all four common sizes side by side, from the 10 yard dumpster rental up through the 40 yard dumpster rental.
Renting the smallest roll off in the lineup is usually the cheapest way to clear a pile of debris without renting a truck. Pricing depends on how long you keep it and what delivery involves, and it sits in the same range you will see on the dumpster rental cost page for the 30 yard dumpster rental once you scale up.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Delivery is billed separately in most cases, and a delivery fee for a single day typically runs 100 to 150 dollars depending on distance and access. For a full cost breakdown across sizes, see dumpster rental cost, and if you are weighing a longer job, construction dumpster rental covers multi-week rates, the same way our monthly porta potty rental page covers extended restroom needs. Weight limits vary by hauler and material, so check dumpster weight limits before loading concrete or shingles, since overage fees can erase any savings from picking the smaller can.
Maybe, depending on where the dumpster sits. Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or parking lane rather than your driveway, needs confirming with the City of Des Plaines before delivery. We cannot state a specific ordinance number here, since permit rules and fees differ by placement and were not verified for this page. Keep the container on private property if you want to skip that step entirely, much like keeping a portable restroom rental off the sidewalk avoids the same review. If you are unsure how to plan for it, the dumpster permit requirements page has more on what to ask the city, and porta potty permit requirements covers a parallel process if you are renting both a dumpster and a restroom for the same job, with the porta potty placement guide covering where units can legally sit. Keep in mind that what cannot go in a dumpster matters just as much as placement, since paints, tires and certain electronics get rejected at the landfill regardless of where the container sat.
About 4 pickup truck loads, roughly matching a single-room cleanout, a small deck teardown, or yard waste from trimming a few trees. It is the smallest size we stock, sitting below the 20 yard unit on our dumpster sizes and dimensions chart, and pricing for the bigger 40ft storage container is a different category entirely if you need to store items instead of tossing them.
Rental periods run by the day, week or month, and pricing scales with duration as shown in the table above. Most Des Plaines cleanout projects wrap within a week, but monthly rates apply if a renovation runs longer, the same pattern you will see on the porta potty rental per day page for restrooms.
Only with confirmation from the City of Des Plaines, since right of way placement is not something we can approve on our own. Driveway or private lot placement avoids that question. Ask about your specific address before delivery day, and if you are stacking rentals, our storage container rental page notes similar placement questions.
A 10 yard dumpster covers most single-room jobs. If you are gutting more than one room or handling roofing debris, step up to the 20 yard dumpster rental instead, since overfilling a 10 yard unit risks weight limit charges.
