How big is a 10 yard dumpster?
A 10 yard trash dumpster is the smallest roll off box Pembroke Pines Porta Pros stocks, and it works for garage cleanouts, small bathroom tear-outs, and yard debris after storm cleanup. The dimensions run close to 12 feet by 8 feet on the ground, with side walls about 3.5 feet high, so most homeowners can toss bags and boards over the rail without a ladder. If you are unsure whether 10 cubic yards covers your job, compare it against the dumpster sizes and dimensions page before you book, since a 10 yard dumpster size is roughly half the footprint of a 20 yard dumpster rental, and much smaller than a 40 yard dumpster rental built for full teardowns. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point, a spec worth checking if your driveway backs onto a narrow alley or tight HOA street. Pembroke Pines homes with short driveways sometimes need the box placed at the curb instead, which raises the question of local placement rules covered below, similar to siting questions covered in the porta potty rental checklist.
How much does a 10 yard dumpster rental cost in Pembroke Pines?
Rent a 10 yard dumpster and expect day rates between 51 and 112 dollars, with weekly rentals running 426 to 778 dollars and monthly terms from 91 to as high as 500 dollars depending on tonnage and length of use. A delivery fee typically applies on top of the rental, and those fees range from 100 to 500 dollars for a single-day drop, or 50 to 150 dollars if you are folding delivery into a weekly term. Weekend rates for a 10 yard box run close to 390 to 497 dollars, useful if you need it Friday through Sunday for a quick renovation push, the same kind of short-term window covered on the porta potty rental per day page.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
For a side by side against other box sizes, the dumpster rental cost page breaks down 20, 30 and 40 yard pricing too. If your project runs long, ask about swapping into a 30 yard dumpster rental mid-job rather than paying overage fees on a smaller box, or check the monthly porta potty rental page if the crew also needs restrooms for an extended term.
Do I need a permit for a 10 yard dumpster in Pembroke Pines?
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or curb strip rather than your own driveway, needs confirming with the City of Pembroke Pines before delivery. Keeping the dumpster fully on private property, like a driveway or side yard, usually avoids the question altogether. If your job sits close to Cooper City, roughly 6.7 miles northeast, or Southwest Ranches, about 8.0 miles northwest, permit rules can shift by jurisdiction, so confirm locally rather than assuming Pembroke Pines terms apply across city lines; the service areas page lists which towns we cover. Our dumpster permit requirements page walks through what to ask the city clerk. Construction crews juggling dumpsters alongside portable toilets should also check OSHA 1926.51(c) for jobsite sanitation minimums, since inspectors sometimes review both at once. Homeowners doing renovation work often pair a dumpster with a home renovation porta potty for crews working multi-day jobs, and some add a handwashing station rental to keep the crew compliant.
Before loading, check the what cannot go in a dumpster list and the dumpster weight limits guide, since overloading a 10 yard box triggers extra charges fast. Contractors running a larger jobsite in Pembroke Pines may want the full construction site services lineup, including a temporary fence rental and handwash stations, bundled with the dumpster delivery.
How long can I keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Most rentals run a set day, week or month term, matching the pricing table above. Extending past your term usually costs a daily or weekly add-on rather than a flat fee. Ask Pembroke Pines Porta Pros to lock in a monthly rate upfront if your cleanup might stretch past a week, since it is often cheaper than repeated short extensions, much like the savings described on the monthly porta potty rental page.
What fits in a 10 yard dumpster?
A 10 yard box handles small remodels, single-room demolition, roofing tear-offs under 20 squares, and general yard waste. It is not sized for whole-house gut jobs. If you are clearing a garage plus a bathroom, compare against a 20 yard dumpster rental before committing.
Can I place the dumpster on the street?
Only with confirmation from the City of Pembroke Pines, since right of way placement is not guaranteed by default. Driveway placement avoids this question entirely. See the porta potty placement guide for similar logic that applies to dumpster siting on tight lots.
Does the delivery fee change by distance?
Delivery fees run 100 to 500 dollars for single-day jobs and depend partly on how far the site sits from base. Jobs near Country Club, about 7.0 miles south, typically fall within standard delivery range. Confirm with request a quote for an exact figure, or visit contact with your address on hand.
What is the difference between a 10 yard and 20 yard dumpster?
A 10 yard dumpster roughly halves the volume and footprint of a 20 yard box, and it costs less per day. Small cleanouts favor the 10 yard size; renovation debris and roofing jobs often need the larger unit described on the 20 yard dumpster rental page.
