10 Yard Dumpster Rental in Beaufort, SC

The 10 yard dumpster is about 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and a little over 3 feet tall — roughly the footprint of a compact car, but open on top. That works out to somewhere around 50 to 70 filled contractor bags, or about two to three pickup-truck loads once everything is stacked in. It's the size we deliver most often for single-room remodels, garage and attic purges, and small yard cleanups where a bigger box would just sit half empty.

Around Beaufort it's also a natural fit for the kind of moves this community sees a lot of: a PCS move-out purge near Port Royal or Burton, or a light estate cleanout on a smaller island cottage. The low rim means you're not lifting bags overhead, and the short footprint fits narrower driveways downtown and on St. Helena Island without crowding a carport or gate. If you're not sure this is the right call, our sizing guide walks through the other options, or just call (854) 212-5294 and describe the job.

Fifty to seventy contractor bags sounds abstract until you picture it loaded: a gutted bathroom's worth of tile and drywall, a bedroom's old carpet rolled and stacked, or the contents of a single-car garage that's been collecting boxes for years. The box is only a little over 3 feet tall, so most of what goes in is loaded by hand rather than thrown from a ladder or lift — that low wall is part of why this size is popular with homeowners doing the work themselves rather than hiring a full crew.

It handles mixed loads well — wood, drywall, tile, flooring, furniture, and general household clutter can all go in together, along with yard clippings and branches if you're combining a small landscaping job with an indoor purge. What it isn't built for is heavy, dense material in bulk. A little broken concrete or a stack of old shingles is fine; a full pallet of masonry debris will hit the weight allowance long before it fills the box, and that's a job better suited to a mid-size or heavy-debris container. If you're planning a concrete or masonry-heavy job, our concrete and heavy debris page covers that case specifically.

The honest answer for most borderline jobs is: if you're gutting more than one room, doing any kind of roof work, or you already know the project is going to generate more than a pickup-truck load or two of debris, step up to the 15 yard. The extra length and height cost you almost nothing in driveway space but buy real breathing room, and it's cheaper to size up once than to pay for a second 10 yard delivery when the first one fills faster than expected.

On the other hand, if you're clearing a single room, a garage, or handling a smaller PCS or estate purge, the 10 yard is usually plenty and there's no reason to pay for space you won't fill. We would rather talk you into the right size on the phone than have you guess — call (854) 212-5294 and describe what you're clearing out. We size these calls every day and can tell you in a couple of minutes which container makes sense.
