The 10 yard container in Jackson
The 10 yard is the one we send when the job is one room, one garage or one weekend. It is the shortest container we run, so it fits where the bigger boxes cannot — a narrow drive in Fondren or Belhaven, a small lot in South Jackson, a back corner of a job site. The trade-off is volume: fill it with cabinets and drywall and it is full fast. It holds about 50 to 70 standard 33-gallon trash bags.
Where the 10 yard earns its keep is heavy material. Concrete, brick, asphalt, block, tile, dirt, sod and gravel hit the weight allowance long before a bigger box looks full — a 10 holds roughly 4,000 to 6,000 pounds of concrete or dirt. A patio or a driveway broken up and loaded level in a 10 is usually the cheaper, safer call. Tell us what is going in and we will say so.
Small remodels, heavy loads and the one-room cleanout
A bathroom tear-out — tile, tub, vanity, a bit of drywall — sits comfortably in a 10 yard. So does a garage that has been collecting boxes since the last move. A shingle roof up to about 30 squares, roughly 1,500 to 2,000 square feet of shingles, fits too; bigger roofs want a 20.
Jackson homeowners also use it for what the City will not take. City trucks pick up household garbage twice a week and up to two bulk items on the second day — but they do not collect construction debris: concrete, sand, brick, rock, carpet or wood. A 10 yard of busted concrete and old brick is exactly the gap it fills.
Heavy material and the weight line
Weight is the limit that matters for this size. One to two tons is the included allowance. A 10 yard filled to the rail with concrete or dirt can run past that, so for all-concrete loads, load it level, not heaped. Mixed household junk never gets close. If you do go over, we weigh the load and charge the overage at the disposal rate — and we tell you what that is before you load, not after.
Suitability
Is the 10 yard the right size for you?
Rough working figures. Weight, not volume, is what usually decides.
Choose the 10 yard for
- Bathroom or small kitchen remodel
- Garage, shed or single-room cleanout
- Shingle roof tear-off up to about 30 squares
- Broken-up concrete, asphalt, brick or tile loaded level
- Dirt, sod, gravel and fill
Pick a different size for
- A whole-house cleanout — that is a 20 or 30
- Bulky furniture from several rooms
- A big pile of brush and limbs (bulky — a 15 or 20 eats it)
- Tires, car batteries, oil, paint or chemicals — never in the box
Placing a 10 yard container on a Jackson-area property
It needs about 60 feet of straight, level run for the truck and 25 feet of overhead clearance. On your own driveway or lot in Jackson we found no City permit for a roll-off; in a street, alley or sidewalk the City Code makes containers unlawful (Sec. 110-61) unless building work has the City's written authorization for part of the street (Sec. 110-21). Other cities have their own rules — Ridgeland bans containers in streets, Madison keeps temporary storage units on the driveway. Check your HOA too: some covenants cover containers in driveways. Boards go under the rails on request. Each town page covers its own code.

Answers
10 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
How much space does a 10 yard dumpster need?
The container is about 14 feet long. The truck needs about 60 feet of straight run to roll it off and 25 feet of overhead clearance — watch for power lines and low branches. Mark the spot with cones or tape if you will not be home, and the driver sets it where you said.
Can I put concrete in a 10 yard dumpster?
Yes, and it is usually the right box for it. Load it level with the sides, not heaped, so it stays under the weight limit and can be lifted safely. Patios, slabs and old driveways are the classic job for it.
How long do I get it for?
The standard rental is 7 days. Call before pickup day if you need longer and we extend it at a daily or weekly rate. If you finish early, call and we pick up early.
Is it the cheapest option?
For a small job, yes. A 10 yard typically runs about $350 to $550, depending on the address and what is in it. If you think you might overfill it, a 15 or 20 costs less than a second haul — say what the job is and we will size it honestly.
