Ready to rent a 10 yard dumpster in Joliet? This 10 yard trash dumpster holds about 3 pickup truck loads of debris and fits driveways where space is tight. It runs roughly 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet high. Joliet Porta Pros delivers it for small cleanouts, single-room remodels and yard debris jobs across the city.
The 10 cubic yard dumpster measurements run close to 12 feet by 8 feet on the ground and it stands about 3.5 feet tall on the low wall, which makes loading furniture and bagged debris easy without a ladder. These 10-yard dumpster dimensions hold steady no matter which yard in Joliet you're working in. That size works for garage cleanouts, small roof tear-offs under 2,000 square feet, and yard debris after a storm. If you're not sure this is the right size, dumpster sizes and dimensions breaks down how this size compares to the 20, 30 and 40 yard dumpster sizes we also run in Joliet. Placement matters as much as size: our crews need clear ground and overhead room to set the box down safely, similar to the roll-off dumpster rental clearance we plan for larger bins. If your load is closer to a full kitchen gut or a multi-room renovation, look at the 20 yard dumpster rental or the 30 yard dumpster rental instead, since overfilling a 10 yard box just means a second trip.
Most household debris, wood, drywall, flooring and yard waste load fine, but paint cans, tires, batteries and certain chemicals usually cannot go in with the rest. The full breakdown lives on what cannot go in a dumpster, and it's worth a look before you fill the box, because contaminated loads can trigger extra charges. Weight matters too. A 10 yard dumpster loaded with wet debris, shingles or concrete can hit its limit fast, so check dumpster weight limits if your project involves anything dense. For construction debris specifically, construction dumpster rental covers what a jobsite crew in Joliet typically needs beyond a single small box, including OSHA housekeeping under 1926.25, which requires scrap and debris cleared from work areas as a job progresses.
Placement on a driveway usually needs no permit, but a dumpster set in the street or right of way needs confirming with the City of Joliet before delivery. We have not verified a specific municipal code or fee for curb placement, so don't take a number from us on that one; call the city directly. Dumpster permit requirements walks through what to ask when you call. If your property sits closer to a neighboring town, note that Crest Hill is about 5.4 miles northeast of central Joliet and Shorewood sits roughly 4.4 miles west, and each municipality handles right-of-way placement differently, so the permit answer depends on exactly where the box lands.

| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Pricing depends on how long you keep the box and what you're filling it with. For a full cost breakdown across sizes, see dumpster rental cost. If your project runs closer to a weekend cleanout than a week-long remodel, ask about short-term rates when you request a quote.
Most Joliet customers keep a 10 yard dumpster for a weekend cleanout or up to a week for a small remodel. Daily and weekly rates differ, so tell us your timeline upfront. Longer jobs, like a slow renovation, run better on a monthly rate instead of repeated weekly renewals.
Most residential driveways in Joliet fit a 10 yard box without issue, since it only needs about 12 feet of length and 8 feet of width plus room for the delivery truck to maneuver. Roll-off trucks generally need around 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point, so a short or curved driveway may need a street placement discussion instead.
A 20 yard dumpster holds roughly double the volume of a 10 yard box, which matters for kitchen remodels, larger roof jobs or multi-room cleanouts. If you're unsure which one covers your project, 10 yard dumpster rental and 20 yard dumpster rental both list what typically fits in each.
Placing a dumpster fully on private property, like a driveway or side yard, generally avoids permit questions, but street or right-of-way placement needs confirming with Joliet directly. See porta potty permit requirements for how we approach similar placement questions on other equipment.
