10 Yard Dumpster Rental in Salem, OR
The 10 yard is the container people underestimate. It fits a single-car driveway without blocking the garage, and for anything genuinely heavy - concrete, masonry or wet valley clay - it is not a compromise but the only container that can legally be moved once full.
Specifications
- Dimensions12 ft long x 8 ft wide x 3.5 ft high
- Holds roughlyabout 3 pickup truck loads
- Weight included1 to 2 tons included
- Space neededroughly 45 to 55 ft of straight approach
What this size suits
- Single-room clearances and small garage clear-outs
- Bathroom remodels including tile and fixtures
- Concrete, brick, block and stone as clean inert material
- Wet Willamette Valley clay, dirt and grading spoil
- Small patio, walkway and slab tear-outs
- Tight, downtown and sloped hill-lot driveways
Not the right choice for: Whole-house clearances, framing debris or anything bulky. Household contents fill a 10 yard far faster than people expect.
Why heavy material has to go in the small box
Concrete runs to roughly two tons per cubic yard. A legally loaded container is filled to about a third of its height. Keeping that material clean and separate also routes it as clean inert material rather than mixed waste - which earns a better rate at the transfer station and local haulers.
Ideal for tight spots
At twelve by eight feet the 10 yard fits where nothing larger will - short driveways, tight downtown Salem lots, and the sloped approaches in the West Salem and South Salem hills. Where space rather than volume is the constraint, a 10 yard swapped twice beats a 30 that cannot be placed.
What it will not do
Do not order a 10 yard for a house clearance. Furniture, mattresses and general household contents are bulky and you will fill it three times over, which costs more than a single 30 yard would have.

(971) 273-182410 Yard Dumpster: common questions
Will a 10 yard fit on my driveway?
Almost certainly. At twelve by eight feet it takes up less room than a mid-sized car and suits even short, downtown or sloped hill-lot driveways. We plank to protect the surface on every delivery.
Why do I need a 10 yard for concrete rather than something bigger?
Because a larger container filled with it could not legally be transported. Concrete runs to about two tons per cubic yard, so a 10 yard filled level is already at the truck's legal road weight.
Is a 10 yard enough for a bathroom remodel?
Usually yes, including tile, tub, vanity and fixtures. Bathroom debris is dense rather than bulky, which is exactly what this container suits.
