10 Cubic Yards
10 Yard Dumpster Rental in Mobile, AL
Our smallest roll-off, right-sized for a single room, a garage, or a driveway that doesn’t have room to spare.
- 10 ydCapacity
- 3 pickup-truck loadsPickup loads
- 1–2 tonsWeight allowance

Not every job needs a full-size roll-off. The 10 yard dumpster is our smallest container, and it’s the right call for a lot of the cleanout and small-remodel work we see around Mobile — a single-room gut, a garage finally getting cleared out, or a small roof over a porch or carport. It’s compact enough to tuck onto a narrow Toulminville or Midtown driveway without blocking the whole yard.
What fits in a 10 yard dumpster
- About 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 3.5 feet tall — the smallest box in our lineup
- Holds roughly 3 pickup-truck loads of debris
- Rated for 1 to 2 tons, enough for most single-room or garage cleanouts
- Low sides make it easy to load furniture, boxes and yard debris by hand
- A common fit for small roofing jobs, single-room demo, and garage or shed purges
- Handles a small driveway or walkway’s worth of concrete, brick or dirt
- Fits tight driveways where a 20 or 30 yard box simply won’t
- Same upfront, flat-rate pricing as every size we deliver out of Toulminville
What a 10 Yard Dumpster Handles Best
Ten yards is plenty of room for smaller, contained jobs:
- Single-room cleanouts or light demo
- Garage, shed or carport purges
- Small roof tear-offs — think a porch roof or a small single-story home
- Yard debris from a modest trim-back or storm cleanup
- A patio or walkway’s worth of concrete, brick or dirt
If you’re clearing an entire house or tackling a multi-room remodel, a 10 yard box fills up fast — take a look at our 15 yard or 20 yard options instead.
Weight Limits on Our Smallest Box
The 10 yard carries a 1 to 2 ton weight allowance, which sounds generous until you load something dense. A driveway’s worth of concrete or a stack of old roofing shingles can hit that limit well before the box looks full. General household junk, furniture and yard waste are a different story — that kind of debris tends to fill the box up long before weight becomes an issue. If you’re not sure which category your project falls into, call us at (251) 318-8799 and we’ll help you pick the right size before we deliver.

The 10 yard in Mobile driveways
Hawthorne Bros Dumpster Rental delivers the 10 yard dumpster throughout Mobile, AL and the rest of Mobile County. Because it’s our narrowest and lowest container, it’s usually the easiest size to fit on a tight residential driveway without a permit — as long as it stays on your own property. If a driveway isn’t an option and the box has to sit on a public street, our Mobile dumpster permit guide walks through who to call, whether that’s Mobile’s Right of Way department or your own town hall.

10 Yard dumpster questions
Is a 10 yard dumpster big enough for a garage cleanout?
For most garages, yes. It holds about 3 pickup-truck loads, which covers a typical single-car or two-car garage’s worth of accumulated stuff. If your garage is packed floor to ceiling, ask us about stepping up to a 15 yard.
What’s the smallest dumpster you rent in Mobile?
The 10 yard is our smallest roll-off, at roughly 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 3.5 feet tall. It’s built for smaller, contained jobs rather than whole-house projects.
Can a 10 yard dumpster handle concrete or dirt?
In small amounts, yes — a patio or short walkway’s worth. Because it’s a 1 to 2 ton weight limit, heavy material fills the allowance quickly. For a larger concrete or dirt job, see our concrete & heavy debris service.
Will a 10 yard dumpster fit on my driveway?
Almost always. It’s our narrowest and lowest container, which makes it the easiest size to fit on a tight Mobile driveway. If you’re not sure your space works, call (251) 318-8799 and describe it — we can usually tell you over the phone.
How much does a 10 yard dumpster cost in Mobile?
Pricing depends on rental length, location and what’s going in the box. Call (251) 318-8799 for a straight quote, or reach out through our contact page.
