The 10 yard container in Clarksville, TN
The 10 yard dumpster is the container most Clarksville homeowners reach for when the job is contained to a single room, a garage, or a short section of roof. At about 14 ft long by 7.5 ft wide by 3.5 ft high, it's low enough to load over the side without a ladder for most of the job, and it's the size that fits into the tightest driveways in the older downtown neighborhoods near 10th St and the Red River without eating up the whole yard.
Capacity-wise, you're looking at roughly 50 to 70 kitchen-size trash bags' worth of debris, or 1 to 2 tons of weight. That tonnage range matters more than the bag count for anything dense — a stack of asphalt shingles off a small roof section, a load of broken concrete from a walkway, or a few yards of dirt from a landscaping job will hit the weight limit long before the box looks full. If your project is mostly heavy material rather than bulky-but-light material, this is the size where weight, not volume, is the number to watch.
It's the right call for a garage clear-out, a single bathroom gut, a small deck teardown, storm-damaged limbs from one or two trees, or a roofing job on a house with a modest footprint. If you're not sure whether your project will top 2 tons — a full driveway of old concrete or a roof over about 15-20 squares, for example — it's worth stepping up to the 15 yard instead of risking an overweight load.

| Small bathroom or kitchen demo | fits comfortably |
| Roofing tear-off, one small section or a shed roof | fits, watch the tonnage |
| Driveway or walkway concrete removal (small area) | check weight before loading |

Placing a 10 yard container on a Clarksville-area property
This is the size that works best on the compact lots downtown and around Austin Peay's edge of the city, where driveways are short and street parking is tight. Our drivers can usually set a 10 yard on a standard concrete driveway apron without needing to block the sidewalk. Out in Sango, Woodlawn, or the more rural stretches of Montgomery, Stewart, and Houston counties, gravel driveways are common — that's fine for this size as long as the surface is reasonably firm and level, since the loaded weight is lower than our bigger boxes. If your driveway has a steep grade or soft shoulder, tell dispatch when you book so the driver knows to place the box on the flattest available stretch, whether that's the driveway itself or a nearby gravel or grass pad. During spring storm season, when Middle Tennessee sees the heaviest rain and severe weather, a firmer surface also keeps the box from settling or leaving ruts.

Every size side by side
If your load is likely to run heavy (concrete, dirt, shingles) more than bulky, the 15 yard's extra ton of capacity is often worth the small step up.
| Size | Dimensions | Capacity | Weight included | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard Dumpster | about 14 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 3.5 ft high | about 50-70 kitchen-size trash bags | 1-2 tons | Small home projects, roofing debris, concrete and dirt. |
| 15 Yard Dumpster | about 16 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high | about 80-100 kitchen-size trash bags | 2-3 tons | Garage cleanouts, flooring removal and yard waste. |
| 20 Yard Dumpster | about 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high | about 110-130 kitchen-size trash bags | 3-4 tons | Medium renovations, roofing jobs and large cleanouts. |
| 30 Yard Dumpster | about 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 6 ft high | about 170-190 kitchen-size trash bags | 4-5 tons | Multi-room remodels and estate cleanouts. |
| 40 Yard Dumpster | about 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 8 ft high | about 230-250 kitchen-size trash bags | 5-6 tons | Commercial projects and major demolition work. |

Answers
10 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
Will a 10 yard dumpster fit on a standard Clarksville driveway?
In most cases, yes. At 14 ft long and 7.5 ft wide, it's our most compact roll-off and the one that fits most easily on single-car driveway aprons in the older downtown neighborhoods, as well as on gravel pads out in the county. We just need about 60 ft of straight clearance for the delivery truck to back in.
How much weight can I put in a 10 yard dumpster?
It's rated for roughly 1 to 2 tons. Light, bulky household junk rarely gets close to that, but dense material like concrete, brick, dirt, or a full load of roofing shingles can hit the limit well before the box looks full. If you're planning a heavy load, ask us about the tonnage estimate before you book.
Is the 10 yard big enough for a roofing job?
It works well for a small roof or a single-section tear-off, generally up to somewhere around 15-20 squares depending on the shingle layers. For a full-size Clarksville home, most roofing jobs do better in a 15 or 20 yard, since shingles are heavy and the smaller box fills its weight limit fast.
How long do I get to keep a 10 yard dumpster?
Standard rental periods are built around typical project timelines for this size, generally enough for a weekend cleanout or a short remodel. Call our dispatch team at (931) 378-6100 if you need the specifics for your project timeline.
Can the 10 yard sit on grass or gravel instead of a driveway?
Yes, as long as the ground is reasonably firm and level. We use it often in Woodlawn, Sango, and the more rural parts of Stewart and Houston counties where gravel pads are common. Let the crew know ahead of delivery so the driver can plan the placement.
