A 10 yard dumpster measures about 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet tall, and it holds roughly three pickup truck loads of debris. It fits small cleanouts and bathroom remodels in Bloomington. Rental runs $51 to $112 for a day through Bloomington Porta Pros.
Ten cubic yards fills a box about the size of a small utility trailer stood on its side. That's the 10 yard dumpster sizes most homeowners picture when they think "roll off," and it's the smallest box Bloomington Porta Pros stocks for general debris. If you need exact measurements before you clear a driveway or garage bay, check dumpster sizes and dimensions for a side-by-side against the 20, 30 and 40 yard boxes. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set the container down without dragging it across landscaping, so measure your driveway or alley before booking. This size works well for a single room gut, a deck tear-off, or a garage cleanout. Anything bigger, like a whole-house renovation, usually calls for a 20 yard dumpster rental or a 30 yard dumpster rental instead. Homeowners doing a kitchen remodel often pair the dumpster with a portable toilet rental if the water is shut off during the job.
Shingles from a small roof, yard waste from a lot clearing, or drywall and trim from one bathroom all fit comfortably in a 10 cubic yard dumpster. It's not built for a full house demo. Weight matters as much as volume here, and heavier loads like concrete or shingles can hit the container's limit before it looks full. Review dumpster weight limits before you load anything dense. Certain materials never belong in a roll-off regardless of size: check what cannot go in a dumpster for the list, since paints, tires and batteries usually need separate disposal. Under OSHA 1926.25, work sites are required to keep scrap and debris cleared from active work areas, and a 10 yard box parked close to the work makes that easier on a small job site. For contractors running a crew on-site, pair the dumpster with construction site services or a temporary fence rental to keep the lot secured overnight.

Pricing depends on how long you keep the box and how far Bloomington Porta Pros has to haul it. A weekend cleanout project usually books the day rate and returns the container Monday. For full cost breakdowns across every size, see dumpster rental cost or compare day rates directly on porta potty rental cost if you're bundling a toilet with the dumpster. Delivery is billed separately and depends on distance from the yard; homes out toward Ellettsville, 8.7 miles northwest of Bloomington, or Smithville-Sanders, 8.1 miles south, may see a different delivery charge than a job inside city limits. Placement in the public right of way, like blocking part of a street or curb lane, needs confirming with the City of Bloomington before drop-off. Ask about dumpster permit requirements when you book so there's no delay on delivery day.
Most rentals run by the day, week or month, and Bloomington Porta Pros prices all three. A weekend project typically books the day rate and swaps to a longer term if the job runs over. Renovations that stretch past a week usually save money on the weekly rate instead of extending daily.
Driveway placement usually doesn't require a permit, but placing a dumpster on the street or curb does need confirming with the city first. Bloomington Porta Pros can tell you whether your delivery spot needs one before the truck arrives. See porta potty permit requirements for the same logic applied to restroom placement.
A 10 yard box suits single-room jobs and small cleanouts. A 20 yard dumpster rental roughly doubles the capacity and fits multi-room remodels or larger yard debris hauls. If you're unsure which to book, Bloomington Porta Pros can walk through your project scope over the phone.
Generally yes, as long as nothing on the prohibited list goes in. Mixed loads of drywall, wood scraps and old furniture are common. Check what cannot go in a dumpster first, since hazardous materials and certain appliances need separate handling regardless of load size.
