A 10 yard dumpster measures roughly 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet high, and it holds about 10 cubic yards of debris. Hawthorne Porta Pros rents them by the day, and pricing starts around $51 for a short job. It fits small cleanouts and single-room remodels without eating your whole driveway, and it pairs well with home renovation porta potty service when a crew is on site all week.
Picture a small garage packed floor to ceiling. That is close to what 10 cubic yards holds. The 10-yard dumpster dimensions run about 12 feet by 8 feet on the ground and stand roughly 3.5 feet tall at the walls, which keeps loading easy for shingles, drywall or yard debris, similar to how a standard porta potty rental sizes up against its taller deluxe cousin. If you are clearing a Hawthorne bathroom remodel or hauling out old fencing, this size usually beats a bigger box on cost per job. Compare it against the dumpster sizes and dimensions page before you commit, especially if you are not sure how much debris you actually have. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the unit to drop it safely, so measure your driveway or curb space first, the same way you would before scheduling a restroom trailer rental drop. If your load has mixed material, check what cannot go in a dumpster before it gets buried under everything else, because pulling banned items back out later costs time nobody budgeted for.

These bands come from measured rental data, not a quote off the top of someone's head. A weekend rate runs higher than a single weekday, so tell us the actual dates when you call, much like pricing a porta potty rental per day versus a full week. Delivery is billed separately and typically falls in the $100 to $150 range for a standard drop in Hawthorne, though tight access or extra mileage can push that, similar to delivery quirks covered on the construction dumpster rental page. For side-by-side numbers against the 20 and 30 yard options, see dumpster rental cost or jump straight to the 20 yard dumpster rental if you think you'll fill this one fast. Weight matters too. Heavy debris like concrete or roofing shingles hits the dumpster weight limits faster than you'd guess, and overage fees are real, so read the dumpster rental cost breakdown if you're stacking multiple boxes on one job.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city, since we don't have a verified Hawthorne ordinance number to cite here. If the dumpster sits entirely on your own driveway or lot, most homeowners never need to ask, though renters comparing options sometimes check the porta potty permit requirements page too, since the same right-of-way logic applies. Curb or street placement is where cities usually start asking questions, the same spot where a temporary fence rental around the box often makes sense. Check dumpster permit requirements before delivery day so there's no truck sitting curbside while you make a phone call. Contractors running ongoing projects should also look at construction site services and pair the dumpster with jobsite sanitation, since OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet facility ratios for crews working the same site. Renters 5.2 miles away in Manhattan Beach or 5.3 miles away in El Segundo run into similar right-of-way questions, so this isn't unique to Hawthorne, and the same holds for towns covered on the service areas page.
Most renters keep it a weekend or a full week, though month-long rentals are common on slower remodel jobs, similar to how monthly porta potty rental works for longer jobsites. The 10 yard dumpster rental fits most single-project timelines without upgrading size.
Furniture, drywall, small remodel debris, yard waste and general household cleanout junk all fit well. It's not built for a full home gut, and jobs that size usually need a storage container rental alongside the dumpster. For that scale, look at the 30 yard dumpster rental or 40 yard dumpster rental instead.
Only with confirmation from the city on right-of-way rules. Driveway placement avoids the question entirely, and if you're also renting sanitation gear, the porta potty placement guide covers similar setback thinking. Ask us when you book and we'll flag it before delivery.
The truck needs about 60 feet of straight space behind the drop point to place a 10 cubic yard dumpster safely. Tight alleys or steep driveways in Hawthorne sometimes need a site visit first.
