How big is a 10 yard dumpster?
Picture a space about the size of a small bedroom. That's the 10 yard dumpster measurements in real terms: roughly 12 feet by 8 feet on the ground, standing about 3.5 feet tall on the sides. It's the smallest box Framingham Porta Pros rolls out, sized for jobs that don't need a full 20 yard dumpster rental. Compare it side by side on the dumpster sizes and dimensions page before you commit. Homeowners clearing a garage, replacing a small deck, or gutting one bathroom usually land here. Contractors doing punch-list work on a Framingham renovation often keep one on site too, alongside a standard porta potty rental for the crew. If you're not sure this size fits your pile, the 10 yard dumpster rental sizing conversation is worth having before delivery, not after the truck shows up and the driveway's too tight.
What does a 10 yard dumpster cost in Framingham?
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Day rates and week rates in the table above are measured across real bookings, so treat "typical" as your planning number and confirm the exact quote through request a quote. A delivery fee applies on top, and that alone can run from $100 to as much as $500 depending on distance and access, per the porta potty rental cost breakdown that covers delivery logic across our equipment. Framingham driveways vary a lot: some subdivisions near Ashland, 4.9 miles southwest, have wide aprons; older neighborhoods closer to downtown Framingham can be tighter. Either way, a roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set the box down safely. If your lot can't give that, tell us before scheduling and we'll walk the alternatives. For monthly project math, see monthly porta potty rental for how we bundle multi-week jobs.
Do I need a permit for a 10 yard dumpster in Framingham?
Placement in the public right of way, meaning on the street or over a sidewalk, needs confirming with the City of Framingham before delivery. We haven't verified a specific ordinance number for this size, so don't take a guess from a contractor forum as gospel. If the dumpster sits entirely on your own driveway or yard, permitting is usually a non-issue, but check anyway. Full detail on the process lives at dumpster permit requirements, and general placement logic overlaps with our porta potty permit requirements page since both come down to right-of-way rules. Also worth reading before you fill the box: what cannot go in a dumpster and dumpster weight limits, since overloading a 10 yard box is the most common reason a pickup gets delayed. For active job sites running heavier debris, the construction dumpster rental page covers bigger sizes and OSHA housekeeping expectations under 1926.25.
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Most Framingham rentals run a weekend, a week, or a full month, matching the table above. Day rentals work for a single cleanout; weekly suits a bathroom demo; monthly fits a slow-moving renovation. Ask about swap-outs if you'll fill it faster than expected.
What fits in a 10 yard trash dumpster?
Think single-room debris: old carpet, drywall, a few pieces of furniture, yard waste from a modest cleanup. It's not built for a whole-house gut job. If you're clearing more than a couple rooms, step up to the 30 yard dumpster rental instead.
Can I rent a 10 yard roll off dumpster for one day?
Yes. Day rates start at the low end of the table above, and that's common for quick driveway or garage cleanouts. Just confirm drop-off and pickup timing in advance since same-day swaps aren't always guaranteed.
