A 10 yard dumpster measures about 12 feet long by 8 feet wide by 3.5 feet tall and holds roughly three pickup truck loads of debris. In Chesapeake, day rentals for this size fall in the 51 to 112 dollar band, making it the right call for a bathroom tear-out, garage cleanout or small roofing job, and it is the size most people mean when they search to rent 10 yard dumpster options in Chesapeake. Chesapeake Porta Pros delivers them across the city.
A 10 cubic yard dumpster is the smallest roll-off most companies stock, and it is built for jobs that do not need a full-size container, whether you call it a 10 yard trash dumpster or a 10 yard roll off dumpster. These 10 yard dumpster measurements, or 10-yard dumpster dimensions if you prefer that phrasing, run close to 12 by 8 by 3.5 feet, low enough to hand-load without a ladder. Compare that against the dumpster sizes and dimensions page before you commit, because a 20 yard box costs more but saves a second haul if your pile is bigger than it looks. Chesapeake Porta Pros sets these on driveways, curbs and job sites, and a roll-off dumpster rental of this size needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the delivery truck. If your space is tighter, say so when you book so the driver can plan the approach. Homeowners doing a home renovation porta potty project often add a small dumpster to the same order, since debris and sanitation needs usually show up together on the same job, and many pair it with a standard porta potty rental or a portable toilet rental for the crew.
Household junk, yard waste, drywall, flooring and small furniture all fit fine, but tires, paint, batteries and anything soaked in chemicals do not belong in a general roll-off. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before loading, since a load with banned material can hold up pickup or add a fee, and see porta potty rental cost if you are budgeting sanitation alongside debris hauling. Weight matters too. A 10 yard container is easy to overload with heavy debris like concrete or shingles, and dumpster weight limits explain how that gets measured at the scale. Contractors running a bigger job in Chesapeake sometimes step up to a 20 yard dumpster rental, a 30 yard dumpster rental or a 40 yard dumpster rental once they know the volume. Anyone doing site cleanup under OSHA 1926.25 housekeeping rules should keep the container close enough to the work area that scrap does not pile up between hauls, and 1926.252 covers how waste chutes and enclosures should be handled on active sites.
Placement on your own driveway usually needs no paperwork, but setting a dumpster in the street or right-of-way is a different matter and needs confirming with the city before delivery. Chesapeake Porta Pros can tell you what the site looks like from experience, but the permit call itself belongs to the city, not to us, and the same right-of-way question applies to porta potty placement guide decisions and temporary fence rental setups. Read dumpster permit requirements for the general picture, and if you are unsure where your property line ends, ask before the truck shows up rather than after.

Pricing depends on how long you keep the container and how far the truck has to travel, similar to how a porta potty rental per day or a monthly porta potty rental scales with duration. See dumpster rental cost for the fuller breakdown, or request a quote with your address and we will confirm the number. Jobs in Suffolk, 28.3 miles west of Chesapeake, or Virginia Beach, 24.2 miles northeast, run the same size options with a delivery fee tied to distance, and the same trucks often carry a storage container rental or two on the route.
Most rentals run by the day, week or month, and the table above shows all three. A weekend rate exists too for short jobs that start Friday and wrap Sunday. Longer rentals never cost less per day than short ones, so pick the window that actually matches your project.
Usually, yes. A single-car garage cleared to bare walls tends to fill a 10 yard box without much room to spare. If you are also pulling old carpet or drywall, a 10 yard dumpster rental may run tight, and stepping up a size avoids paying for a second pickup; the dumpster sizes and dimensions page walks through every option side by side.
Sometimes, but street placement in Chesapeake needs confirming with the city first. Driveway placement avoids the question entirely. Ask about your specific street when you book, since some blocks have different rules than others.
Roughly double the volume and a larger footprint. The 20 yard costs more per rental but holds close to twice the debris, so cost per cubic yard often comes out lower. Check construction dumpster rental if the job is a full remodel rather than a cleanout, and add temporary power pole or light tower rental service if the site runs after dark.
Often, depending on the schedule and where the site sits in Chesapeake. Call early in the day for the best shot at same-day delivery, and pair the order with a construction site services package if you also need toilets or fencing on site, or check service areas to confirm we cover your address.
