10 Yard Dumpster Rental in Shreveport

The 10-yard is the smallest container in our lineup, measuring 14 ft by 7.5 ft by 3.5 ft, and it's the only size we publish a set price on: $350–$550 flat rate, covering delivery, your rental period, a tonnage allowance, and pickup. Every other size gets a quote tailored to your job when you call, but the 10-yard's scope tends to be predictable enough that we can post a straight range.

It holds roughly what three full pickup-truck loads would — about 50 to 70 trash bags' worth — with a 1 to 2 ton weight allowance. That capacity makes it the right call for garage purges, a single room's worth of remodel debris, roofing shingles from a small job, or a driveway's worth of concrete and dirt.

Despite being the smallest box we offer, the 10-yard is also our go-to recommendation for heavy material like concrete, brick, and fill dirt, because those materials hit the tonnage limit long before they fill the container by volume. If you're weighing sizes, our size guide breaks it down further, or call (318) 616-9108 and we'll size it on the spot.

Dimensions & Capacity Explained

The 10-yard measures 14 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, and 3.5 ft tall — low sides that make it easy to load by hand, whether you're tossing bags in or wheelbarrowing out demo debris. It holds about what three pickup-truck loads would carry, or roughly 50 to 70 standard trash bags, with a 1 to 2 ton weight allowance built into the rental.

That low profile is part of why it's popular for driveway placement — it's easy to load over the side without needing a ramp for most material, and it takes up less visual footprint than the larger boxes. For a full comparison against the rest of our lineup, see the size guide.

What Fits in a 10-Yard Dumpster

Small cleanouts fit comfortably — clearing out a garage, attic, or single room; a bathroom gut renovation; roofing shingles from a smaller roof; or a modest patio or driveway's worth of concrete. It's also our standard recommendation for straight loads of concrete, brick, or dirt, since that material maxes out the tonnage allowance well before the box looks full.

Where it starts to fall short is whole-house cleanouts, larger remodels, or bulky demo debris from a shed or garage teardown — those jobs generally need the added volume of a 15-yard or 20-yard instead.

Who the 10-Yard Is For

The 10-yard suits homeowners tackling a single project — a garage purge, a small remodel, a driveway resurfacing job — where the debris is contained to one area of the property. It's also the right pick for anyone dealing primarily with heavy material like concrete or dirt, regardless of how "big" the pile looks, since weight is the limiting factor there, not space.

If your project spans multiple rooms, an entire house, or a full structure teardown, you'll likely outgrow this size fast. In that case our 20-yard is the more common fit — it's our most-booked size for a reason.

Cost Factors for a 10-Yard Rental

The 10-yard is the one size where we publish a set range — $350 to $550 — because the scope of what fits it tends to be fairly consistent job to job. That price is flat rate: delivery, your 3 to 7 day rental period, a tonnage allowance, and pickup are all included, with no fuel or environmental surcharge added afterward.

Where you'll land in that range mostly comes down to material type and how close you are to our yard at 1550 W Kirby Plz. Straight yard waste or light debris tends to sit at the lower end; concrete or heavier mixed loads can run higher within the range. Call (318) 616-9108 for a firm number, or see our cost guide for more detail.

Delivery & Placement Notes

We need about 60 ft of clear space for the truck to back in and roughly 25 ft of overhead clearance — worth checking against low tree limbs or power lines before delivery day. The container should sit on a flat, hard surface like a driveway or paved lot rather than grass or soft ground.

If you need to place the container in the street or another public right-of-way instead of a private driveway, that requires a permit from the City of Shreveport's Engineering Permits department — contact them directly to confirm current fees and process. For most residential deliveries within Shreveport or Bossier City, a driveway placement avoids that step entirely.
