A 10 yard dumpster measures roughly 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 4 feet tall, holding about 10 cubic yards of debris, enough for a garage cleanout or a small bathroom demo. In Mobile, day rates for this size sit between $51 and $112, and Mobile Porta Pros delivers it fast alongside 30 yard dumpster rental and 40 yard dumpster rental options for bigger jobs.
Picture two pickup truck beds side by side, stacked waist high. That is the 10-yard dumpster dimensions in real terms: about 12 feet by 8 feet on the ground, standing roughly 4 feet at the wall. It is the smallest roll-off Mobile Porta Pros stacks on the lot, and the easiest to tuck into a driveway or tight side yard. Compare it against the 10 yard dumpster rental against the 20 yard dumpster rental if your job runs bigger than a single room. Drivers still need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set the container down without scraping a fence or a carport, so pair the drop with a porta potty rental if your crew needs a toilet on site the same day. If you are unsure which box fits the pile, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page lays out every option side by side, and our roll-off dumpster rental page covers delivery logistics for Mobile driveways specifically.
Shingles from a small roof, a gutted bathroom, yard debris after a storm, old fencing, a couple rooms of furniture. That is the sweet spot for a 10 cubic yard dumpster, similar to what a home renovation porta potty customer plans around when a remodel and a cleanout happen together. It is not built for everything, though. Certain items are barred outright, and the what cannot go in a dumpster guide spells those out before you load anything you cannot legally toss. Weight matters too. Roofing debris and packed dirt get heavy fast, so check the dumpster weight limits before filling it to the rim, since overloading a 10-yard box is one of the fastest ways to trigger an extra fee. If your project is a contractor job rather than a homeowner cleanout, the construction dumpster rental page covers site delivery for active builds around Mobile, including sites near Tillmans Corner, about 10.4 miles southwest of downtown, and construction site services elsewhere around Mobile.
Placement on your own driveway usually needs no permit. Setting a dumpster in the street or right of way is different, and that placement needs confirming with the City of Mobile before delivery day. We have not verified a specific ordinance number for this, so treat it as a call to make, not a box to check, much like confirming porta potty permit requirements before an event footprint expands into the right of way. The dumpster permit requirements page walks through what to ask the city and when. If your rental overlaps a public sidewalk near a venue or event footprint, pair the dumpster with barricades under OSHA 1926.202, which sets the standard for construction-area barricades, and consider temporary fence rental or a chain link temporary fence to keep foot traffic clear of the container. Housekeeping rules under OSHA 1926.25 also call for keeping debris cleared from active work areas, which matters if this dumpster sits on a job site rather than a home driveway.

Delivery is billed separately in most cases, and the dumpster rental cost page breaks down what typically gets added on top of the base rate for Mobile deliveries, the same way the porta potty rental cost page breaks down toilet pricing.
Most Mobile rentals run by the day or the week, matching the table above. Weekly rentals cost more than a single day but less per day than repeated day rentals, so a multi-day project usually pencils out cheaper on a weekly rate. Ask about swap-outs if your project runs past a month, and check the monthly porta potty rental page if restrooms need to stay on site that long too.
Most residential driveways in Mobile handle it fine. The container itself needs about 12 feet of length and 8 feet of width, plus the 60 feet of straight clearance the delivery truck needs behind it to set the box down safely, similar to clearance a storage container rental delivery needs.

For a single small bathroom, usually yes. For a full gut job with tile, tub and cabinetry, many customers step up to the 20 yard dumpster rental instead to avoid a second haul.
