The 10 yard container in Norfolk, VA
The 10 yard dumpster is the smallest roll-off container Reilly & Sons puts on the ground in Norfolk, and it's the right call more often than people expect. If you're clearing out a garage in Larchmont, tearing carpet out of one room in a Ghent bungalow, or hauling a season's worth of yard waste after a Southside storm, a 10 yard container usually gets the job done without paying for space you won't fill.
It's compact enough to sit in most driveways without blocking a sidewalk, and it's the size our crew delivers most often for homeowners doing a single project rather than a whole-house gut.
Who the 10 Yard Dumpster Is Built For
This size works best for projects with a defined, limited scope: a single room, a garage, a shed, a fence line, or a small yard cleanup. It's the size we recommend most for homeowners in Norfolk's older neighborhoods — Ghent, Colonial Place, Park Place — doing a bathroom gut or clearing decades of stuff out of a detached garage before a sale.
What Actually Fills a 10 Yard Container
Ten cubic yards disappears faster than most people guess. A single room of wall-to-wall carpet and padding, a couple hundred square feet of old flooring, or the contents of a one-car garage will typically fill it. Mixed household junk — furniture, boxes, appliances short of a full kitchen remodel — is the most common load we see in this size.
Delivery and Placement Around Norfolk
Because it's our smallest unit, the 10 yard is also the easiest to tuck into tight spots — narrow driveways in Ghent, alley access in Berkley, or a curb spot near Naval Station Norfolk housing where street parking is already tight. Our crew will walk the drop location with you by phone before the truck rolls if there's any question about clearance.
Capacity
What actually fits in a 10 yard container
Rough working figures. Weight, not volume, is what stops most loads.
| Material | How much fits |
|---|---|
| Household junk | Furniture, boxes, and general household items from a garage or one-room cleanout |
| Yard debris | Branches, brush, and leaf bags from a typical residential yard cleanup |
| Flooring/carpet | Carpet, pad, and tile from a single room tear-out |
| Concrete/dirt | A small patio slab or a few yards of dirt/gravel — mind the tonnage limit |
Suitability

Placing a 10 yard container on a Norfolk-area property
The 10 yard is a common choice for the older housing stock in Ghent, Colonial Place, and Park Place, where single-room renovations are more typical than full gut jobs, and for quick turnarounds tied to military PCS moves near Naval Station Norfolk and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story, where a service member has a fixed report date and needs a small cleanout handled fast, not a week-long project.

Answers
10 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
Will a 10 yard dumpster fit in my driveway?
In almost every case, yes. At roughly 12 feet long and 8 feet wide, it's sized to sit in a standard single-car driveway in Norfolk or the surrounding neighborhoods without blocking the street. If your driveway is unusually short or has a steep grade, mention it when you book and we'll confirm placement.
How much weight can I put in a 10 yard dumpster?
Most rentals include 1 to 2 tons in the base price, which is plenty for household junk and light yard debris. Heavy material like concrete, dirt, or roofing shingles hits the weight limit well before the container looks full, so ask us about a size that fits the material, not just the volume.
What's the price range for a 10 yard dumpster in Norfolk?
Roll-off rental pricing in the Hampton Roads market generally runs from about $250 to $800 depending on size, debris type, and rental length. A 10 yard sits at the lower end of that range as a general market reference — call (757) 290-7723 for an actual quote on your project.
