10 Yard Dumpster Rental in Utica, NY
The 10 yard is the heavy-material specialist. It is small on purpose: concrete, brick and the dense the Utica metro limestone are so heavy that a bigger box filled with them could not be legally hauled.
Specifications
- DimensionsAbout 12 ft long x 8 ft wide x 3.5 ft high
- Holds roughlyAbout 3-4 pickup truck loads
- Weight includedIncluded tonnage suited to heavy material; overage per ton quoted up front
- Space neededNeeds roughly 45 ft of straight approach and firm, level ground
What this size suits
- Concrete, brick and block from a driveway, walkway or slab tear-out
- Dirt and clay spoil from footings, foundations or drainage work
- Small bathroom or kitchen demolition heavy on tile and plaster
- Any dense, heavy load where weight is reached long before volume
Not the right choice for: Bulky, lighter waste such as a whole-house cleanout or tree and brush debris - that fills a 10 yard on volume long before weight, so a 20 or 30 yard is cheaper per load.
Built for weight, not volume
This is the container we bring when the material is heavy. Concrete runs to roughly two tons per cubic yard, so a 10 yard filled level with it is already at the legal road weight. It looks modest and does the heaviest work on the site - and it hauls covered to the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority's transfer station in Utica, where every load is scaled.
Heavy New York spoil
The dense limestone of the Midwest - saturated by a clay ground and heavy rain, and heavier still when wet - is far heavier per yard than the debris beside it, and so is the thick, reinforced concrete from mid-century foundations and slabs. It belongs in its own 10 yard, never mixed into general debris.
Clean concrete must be recycled
Clean concrete, brick and block - no timber, no tangled rebar, no rubbish - can be crushed and reused as base material rather than landfilled, which keeps your cost down. Keep the heavy inert material separate from the start.

(315) 922-584110 Yard Dumpster: common questions
What can I put in a 10 yard dumpster?
It is built for heavy, dense material: concrete, brick, block, tile and clay spoil. Its small size keeps a heavy load within the legal weight for hauling. For bulky, lighter waste a larger container is more economical.
How much concrete fits in a 10 yard?
By volume it holds plenty, but weight is the real limit - filled level with concrete a 10 yard is already at the truck's legal road weight. For a big slab or driveway you may need more than one, filled to a level load.
Is the 10 yard cheaper than the bigger sizes?
Usually a little, but sizing is about material, not just price. For heavy debris it is the correct and often only legal choice. For light, bulky waste a larger box costs less per load because you fit far more in.
