The 10 yard container in Dothan
The 10 yard is the one we send when the job is one room, one garage or one weekend. At about 14 feet long and 7.5 feet wide it is the smallest container we run, so it suits tighter driveways and limited-access spots around Dothan — an older lot near downtown, a pad beside the garage, a corner of a small job site. It holds about three pickup truck loads, or roughly 50 to 70 standard 33-gallon trash bags, which is more than people expect and less than a bathroom gut plus a garage cleanout.
Where the 10 yard earns its keep is weight. Concrete, brick, asphalt, rock and dirt reach the limit long before a bigger box looks full, and the 10 usually includes about one to two tons, depending on the type of debris. That is why heavy material belongs in a small box — the 10 works best for dense, heavy debris rather than bulky debris, because a smaller container helps keep the load within safe transport weight limits. Tell us what is going in and we help you plan a load that stays inside the allowance.
Space needed
a flat, solid spot about 14 feet long and 7.5 feet wide (a driveway, gravel pad or paved area, not the lawn), about 60 feet of clear approach for the roll-off truck, and clear space overhead, free of low wires and tree branches
Small remodels, roofing and the heavy stuff
A bathroom tear-out — tile, tub, vanity, a bit of drywall — sits comfortably in a 10 yard. So does a small kitchen remodel, a flooring or tile change-out, the shingles off a smaller roof, a deck coming down, a garage cleanout, a yard cleanup, a small demolition job, or a patch of concrete, brick or rock coming up. Homeowners, roofers, contractors and property managers all use it.
It suits Dothan because the City's own pickup stops short of that kind of debris. City curbside pickup lists construction or demolition debris, tires and commercial waste as not accepted, and the City Code leaves building material — lumber, brick, block, stone, plaster, concrete, asphalt, roofing shingles, flooring and the like, from anything beyond minor repairs by the owner — and any trash from work done by a contractor for the owner or producer to remove at their own expense (City Code § 82-20(h)). A 10 yard on the driveway is what that looks like.
What a 10 yard costs, and where the weight line sits
On average a 10 yard runs about $350–$550, depending on the debris type, the delivery location and the disposal weight. That is an average, not a quote: call (334) 686-0763 with the address and the material and you get a flat-rate quote that generally covers delivery and pickup, disposal fees, the standard rental period — typically 3 to 7 days — and the included weight allowance, with no hidden fuel surcharges or surprise fees. About one to two tons — 2,000 to 4,000 pounds — is included, depending on the debris type. Household junk never gets close. A 10 filled to the rim with concrete, dirt or shingles can, so spread it evenly, keep it level with or below the top edge and tell us it is coming. If the load goes over the included allowance, an overage fee may apply based on disposal weight, and we explain the terms up front. Every load leaves covered: Alabama law bars driving any vehicle loaded so that its load can drop, sift, leak or otherwise escape (Code of Ala. § 32-5-76(b)), and Dothan wants every vehicle carrying solid waste covered or tarped (City Code § 82-112).
Suitability
Is the 10 yard the right size for you?
Rough working figures. Weight, not volume, is what usually decides.
Choose the 10 yard for
- Bathroom or small kitchen remodel
- Garage cleanout and small demolition
- Roofing tear-offs on a smaller roof
- Concrete, brick, asphalt, rock and tile within the weight limit
- Tighter driveways and limited-access spots
Pick a different size for
- A whole-house cleanout — that is a 20 or a 30
- Bulky furniture from several rooms
- Paint, fuel, oil, hazardous liquids, tires, batteries, asbestos or pressurized tanks
- Refrigerators or other appliances still holding refrigerant
Placing a 10 yard container in Dothan
It needs a flat, solid spot about 14 feet long and 7.5 feet wide (a driveway, gravel pad or paved area, not the lawn), about 60 feet of clear approach for the roll-off truck, and clear space overhead, free of low wires and tree branches. The driveway comes first. In Dothan we found no City rule for a temporary roll-off on your own driveway or lot — keep it off the sidewalk and the street. Dothan's code makes it unlawful to put boxes, rubbish or any other article on a sidewalk, street, alley or public way where it may obstruct it, unless it is there under a valid permit from the City (City Code § 86-1), and putting trash, limbs or debris of any kind on a street takes a written permit from the City Engineer or the Public Works Director first (§ 86-8). We found no City permit written for dumpsters or roll-offs, and no fee, time limit or lighting rule, so call Public Works at (334) 615-4420, or ask us, before anything goes in the street. The roll-off truck itself may not park on a residential street except while it is loading or unloading (§ 98-91). Ross Clark Circle, US-231, US-84, US-431, AL-52 and AL-53 are state routes, where ALDOT prohibits any use of the right-of-way other than normal traffic without its written permission and has no container permit, so the box stays on the property. Other towns have their own rules — Enterprise wants a written permit from the City for anything in a street, with red lights at night (§ 18-30), Ozark and Abbeville bar street obstructions outright, and Headland's building permits want the dumpster on the job site. Check your HOA too. Protective boards can go under the container on request. Each town page covers its own rules.

Answers
10 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
How much space does a 10 yard dumpster need?
The container is about 14 feet long and 7.5 feet wide. Pick a flat, solid spot such as a driveway, a gravel pad or a paved area, allow about 60 feet of clear approach for the roll-off truck, and check there are no low wires or tree branches overhead. Move vehicles, trailers and bins out of the way, and if you will not be home, mark the spot clearly. In Dothan, keep it on your own property if you can: we found no City rule for a roll-off on your own driveway, but anything that obstructs a street, sidewalk or alley needs a valid permit from the City first.
Can I put concrete in a 10 yard dumpster?
Yes — it is one of the main reasons people rent one. Concrete, brick, asphalt and dirt are usually limited to the smaller containers, because heavy materials have weight limits for safe transport. Spread it evenly, keep it level with or below the top edge, and tell us roughly how much there is. Under Alabama's solid waste rules, uncontaminated concrete, soil, brick, rock and waste asphalt paving are not counted as construction and demolition waste (ADEM 335-13-1-.03(30)), so a clean load of it is easier to recycle than a mixed one.
How long do I get it for?
The standard rental period is typically 3 to 7 days, and your quote confirms it. Need more time? Call and we can often extend it for an additional daily or weekly fee, depending on availability. If it fills before the job is done, we can arrange a swap-out. Finished early? Call and we schedule the pickup sooner.
How much does a 10 yard dumpster cost?
On average about $350–$550, depending on the debris type, the delivery location and the disposal weight.

Call (334) 686-0763 for an exact price for your address. If the job grows, we can swap it for a bigger box.
