10-Yard Roll-Off Dumpster Minneapolis

The 10-yard roll-off measures roughly 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 3.5 feet tall, low enough to toss debris over the side without a walk-up ramp. That compact footprint is why it works on the narrow driveways and alley aprons common in Longfellow, Seward, and Marcy-Holmes, where a 30- or 40-yard bin would block a garage or overhang a sidewalk. Count on it fitting a standard single-car driveway with room to open the swinging back door.

A 10-yard fits a bathroom or small kitchen remodel, a single-room cleanout, or a 250, 300 square-foot roof tear-off; a 20-yard or 30-yard fits a whole-house cleanout or a larger reroof, the trade-off is driveway space against debris volume, so a small job in a 40-yard just means paying for air. If you are gutting one bathroom in a Whittier duplex or clearing a garage in Camden, the 10-yard is the right call; if you are tearing off a full roof or clearing an entire estate near Nokomis, size up. Heavy material changes the math: concrete, dirt, brick, and asphalt shingles are dense, so a 10-yard packed with clean fill is often the ceiling before weight becomes the limit rather than volume.

Booking runs in three plain steps: 1) call (507) 321-4935 and describe the project and the exact drop spot; 2) confirm the flat $595 and a delivery window; 3) fill the bin to the top rail and call for pickup. Placement on private property, a driveway in Linden Hills or Powderhorn Park, needs no permit. Placement in the public street or on a boulevard in Northeast Minneapolis or Uptown requires an obstruction permit from Minneapolis Public Works, which the property owner or contractor arranges before drop-off. A dumpster rental is not junk removal: the bin is dropped, you load it, and it is hauled when full, nobody carries items out of the house.
