10-Yard Dumpster Rental Virginia Beach

The 10-yard is the smallest roll-off in the Tailgate Dumpster Rental lineup and the right pick for tight, heavy jobs. The container measures roughly 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 3.5 feet tall, so it fits on a single driveway in Thalia or Little Neck without blocking the street. It holds about 10 cubic yards, close to 4 full-size pickup loads, and the low walls make it easy to load dense material by hand or wheelbarrow.

Step 1: call (948) 201-2566 or text a photo of the debris.

Step 2: the container is scheduled for drop-off, often same-day or next-day. Step 3: it is placed on the driveway, with a board under the wheels to protect pavement. Step 4: load the debris level with the top rim, material heaped above the rim cannot be hauled safely under DOT load-securement rules.

Step 5: the dumpster is picked up and the contents are taken to a permitted transfer station.

A 10-yard fits a single-room cleanout, a bathroom gut, a small kitchen tear-out, or a roofing job under about 1,500 square feet. For a whole-house remodel or an estate clear-out across a larger Alanton or Lago Mar property, the 20-yard at $695 or 30-yard at $795 gives more room and still lands within flat pricing, the trade-off is simply driveway footprint versus debris volume. Heavy-only loads such as clean concrete, brick, or dirt are the one case where the 10-yard shines: its small size keeps a dense load under the axle weight a construction-and-demolition hauler can legally carry, so it beats a larger box you can only half-fill.

The flat $595 is the full all-in price, not a starting figure, the crucial, non-obvious point is that there is no separate dump or tonnage fee bolted on at the end.

Certain items are excluded by law and cannot go in any dumpster: paint, solvents, pesticides, and other household hazardous waste, plus tires, car batteries, and fluorescent bulbs. Appliances with refrigerant, such as a fridge or window AC, need the coolant removed first per EPA Section 608. Virginia Beach is an independent city, and the City of Virginia Beach requires a right-of-way permit only when a container sits on a public street rather than private property; a driveway placement in Kempsville or Hilltop needs no permit.

For yard waste and brush, the Virginia DEQ and Earth911 list recycling and composting options that keep clean green waste out of the container entirely. Jobsites with crews should also keep the load path clear under OSHA 1926 construction standards. A 10-yard dumpster rental is not junk removal, the crew drops the box and you load it on your own schedule, typically over a multi-day rental window.
