The 10 yard container in Parker
The 10 yard is the one we send when the job is one room, one garage or one weekend. At about 14 feet long it is the shortest container we run, so it fits where the bigger boxes cannot — a narrow drive, a tight cul-de-sac, a small lot, a back corner of a job site. The trade-off is volume: it holds about three pickup loads, or 50 to 70 standard 33-gallon trash bags, and cabinets and drywall fill it fast.
Where the 10 yard earns its keep is weight. Concrete, asphalt, shingles, tile and dirt hit the allowance long before a bigger box looks full, and one to two tons is what this size includes. A small load of broken concrete or a patch of shingles in a 10, loaded level, is usually the cheaper, safer call than a big box heaped with it. Tell us what is going in and we will help you work out a load that stays inside the limit.
Small remodels, one-room cleanouts and the heavy stuff
A bathroom tear-out — tile, tub, vanity, a bit of drywall — sits comfortably in a 10 yard. So does a garage or an attic that has been collecting boxes since the last move, a small handyman job, or a basement corner. Roofers use it for small roofing jobs where the shingles are heavy but the volume is not.
It suits Parker because the Town does not run trash service at all — residents use their HOA's hauler or their own subscription, and a weekly cart is built for weekly trash, not a weekend of remodel debris. Greenwood Village's large-item pickup turns away concrete, asphalt, roofing, drywall and anything from a project that needed a building permit. A 10 yard on the driveway is the job it was built for.
The weight line on a 10 yard
One to two tons — about 2,000 to 4,000 pounds — is included, depending on the debris. Mixed household junk never gets close. A 10 filled to the top with concrete, dirt or shingles can, so load heavy material level, not heaped, and tell us it is coming. If a load does go over, we weigh it and apply a low-cost overage fee — and we tell you how that works 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, attic or single-room cleanout
- Flooring, tile and carpet removal
- Small roofing jobs
- Concrete, asphalt, brick, rock or dirt, loaded level
Pick a different size for
- A whole-house cleanout — that is a 20
- Bulky furniture from several rooms
- TVs, computers and other electronics — banned from Colorado landfills
- Tires, car batteries, used oil, paint, propane tanks, or fridges and A/C units with refrigerant still in them
Placing a 10 yard container on a Parker-area property
It needs a flat, stable spot about 14 feet long and 7.5 feet wide, about 60 feet of clear approach for the truck, and about 25 feet of clearance overhead — no low power lines or branches. On your own driveway or lot in Parker we found no Town permit for a roll-off; in the Town right-of-way, a dumpster that stays more than 24 hours needs a Street Occupancy Permit through eTRAKiT — call Engineering and Public Works at 303.840.9546 first. Other towns have their own rules — Castle Pines charges $370 for a 90-day street permit, Aurora does not allow dumpsters on the public street, and Centennial limits a driveway dumpster to 7 days without a building permit. Check your HOA too: covenants can cover containers in driveways. Boards go under the dumpster 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 and 7.5 feet wide. The truck needs about 60 feet of clear approach to back in and roll it off onto a flat, stable surface, and about 25 feet of clearance overhead — watch for power lines and low branches. Move cars and bins out of the way, keep it off grass, soft soil and septic systems, and the driver places it exactly where you asked.
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 inside the one-to-two-ton allowance and can be hauled safely. Tell us how much there is and we will help you plan the load. Do not mix dirt or concrete in with household junk without checking with us first.
How long do I get it for?
The standard rental is up to 7 days. Need it longer? Call or text and we extend it at a low daily rate. If you finish early, call and we pick it up early. In Centennial, a driveway dumpster on a job that needs no City building permit can only stay 7 consecutive days.
Is it the cheapest option?
Yes — it is our lowest-cost rental, typically $350 to $550 depending on your location and the type of debris, with no hidden fuel surcharges or environmental fees. If you think you might overfill it, say so — too small means a second haul, and we can swap it for a bigger box if the job grows.
