What actually fits

Three pickup truck loads is the honest comparison. That covers most of what people call a small job:

  • A one-car garage cleared to the walls
  • One room stripped to the studs
  • A bathroom tear-out, tub and vanity included
  • A shed demolition, or a small deck coming down
  • A spring cleanout of furniture and household junk

When it is the wrong box

We'd rather tell you now than swap containers on you halfway through a Saturday.

  • Two-car garage or a whole-house cleanout. Go to a 15 yard. A packed two-car garage will beat a 10 every time.
  • Any roof tear-off. Shingles are heavy and there are a lot of them. That is a 20 yard job.
  • × Concrete, brick, dirt, sand or gravel. We do not take those in any size.
Worth knowing locally

The shed rule in Spring Arbor

A 10 yard is the container most people order when a shed comes down. If the shed is in Spring Arbor Township, the township enforces the state building codes itself, and its published permit list draws the line at 200 square feet: anything larger needs a building permit. Decks, porches and pools deeper than 24 inches need one too. Siding, painting, fences and patio pavers do not.

That's a timing issue more than anything. If your teardown needs a permit, start that call before you book the container, not after it's sitting in the driveway.

10 yard questions

Before you book

How much fits in a 10 yard dumpster?

Roughly three pickup truck loads. In practice that is a one-car garage, a single room stripped to the studs, or a small bathroom tear-out including the tub and vanity.

Will a 10 yard dumpster fit in my driveway?

Yes, in almost every case. At 12 feet long it takes up about as much room as a car and a half. You do need clear space overhead for the truck to set it down, so check for low branches and power lines.

Is 1 ton enough weight for a 10 yard?

For household junk, furniture and general cleanout debris, comfortably. Where people go over is dense material: plaster, tile, wet carpet, or a load with a lot of old lumber. If your load is mostly heavy material, tell us when you call and we'll walk you through whether the weight or the volume runs out first.

Do I need a permit for a 10 yard dumpster in Jackson?

Not on your own driveway. If it has to sit in the street or block a sidewalk you need a right-of-way permit from City of Jackson Engineering, and township rules differ from city rules. Give us the address and we'll tell you if it looks like a permit situation.

Clearing a garage specifically? The garage cleanout guide walks through sizing it properly.
