The 10 yard dumpster is the one most Plymouth homeowners reach for first — it's compact enough to tuck onto a driveway without blocking the whole yard, but it holds more than most people expect. If you're clearing out a garage, tearing off a small roof, or hauling out a room's worth of old flooring and drywall, this is usually the right size before you pay for anything bigger.

Dimensions and Capacity
The 10 yard container measures roughly 14 ft long by 7.5 ft wide by 3.5 ft tall, holding about as much debris as 3 full pickup-truck loads. Most 10 yard rentals top out around 1–2 tons of material, which covers the great majority of small residential jobs.
What It's Good For
This size is a good match for small cleanouts, a single layer of roofing shingles off a modest roof, concrete and dirt from a small patio or walkway job, or clearing years of accumulated stuff out of a garage. It's also popular for single-room renovations where the debris volume is limited — think one bathroom, one bedroom, or a basement declutter.
Driveway Placement
Because of its compact footprint, the 10 yard dumpster is the easiest size to fit on a typical Plymouth driveway without crowding a garage door or a parked car. Much of the South Shore sits on sandy, well-drained glacial outwash soil, which generally holds up fine under a loaded roll-off, but we'll still set boards or plywood under the wheels on request to protect asphalt or a soft edge.

The 10 yard in Plymouth driveways
A 10 yard dumpster placed entirely on your own private driveway in Plymouth typically does not require a town permit. If it needs to sit in the street or public right-of-way even briefly, Plymouth's Department of Public Works handles that through a separate process — see the Street Opening Permits page or call the Plymouth DPW for current requirements. Full solid-waste rules for the town are in Plymouth Code Chapter 260.

10 Yard dumpster questions
Will a 10 yard dumpster fit on my driveway?
In most cases, yes. At about 14 ft by 7.5 ft, it's the smallest roll-off we offer and generally the easiest to fit without blocking a garage door or a second vehicle. Let us know your driveway width when you book and we'll confirm placement.
How much does a 10 yard dumpster hold?
Roughly 3 pickup-truck loads of debris, with a typical weight allowance of 1-2 tons. That's usually enough for a garage cleanout, a small roof tear-off, or one room's worth of renovation debris.
Is a 10 yard dumpster big enough for a roof tear-off?
For a single layer of shingles on a small to mid-size roof, usually yes. If your roof has multiple layers or a larger square footage, ask us about stepping up to a 15 yard container instead.
Do I need a permit for a 10 yard dumpster in Plymouth?
If it stays entirely on your private driveway, typically no town permit is required. If it needs to sit in the street, Plymouth's DPW requires a permit through their Street Opening Permits process.
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
We work with typical rental windows that suit most residential projects. Tell us your timeline when you call and we'll build a schedule around it.
What can't go in a 10 yard dumpster?
Hazardous materials and certain banned items under Massachusetts law, including CRT glass from old TVs and monitors, can't go in any of our dumpsters. Ask our team if you're unsure about a specific item.
