If you rent a 10 yard dumpster, the 10-yard dumpster dimensions run about 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet high, and this 10 cubic yard dumpster holds roughly 3 pickup truck loads of debris. In Evanston, it typically runs $51 to $112 a day or $91 to $500 for a month, depending on rental length and haul-away timing.
A 10 yard roll off dumpster is the smallest roll-off most companies stock, and the 10 yard dumpster measurements matter more than the label. Picture a box 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and about 3.5 feet tall. That is enough volume for a garage cleanout, a small bathroom tear-out, or yard debris from a single Evanston lot, and it is the size most people mean when they ask to rent 10 yard dumpster capacity for a weekend project. If you are staring at a pile of shingles or drywall and guessing, our dumpster sizes and dimensions page walks through how each size compares side by side. Homeowners doing a home renovation porta potty project often pair a 10 yard box with a single unit for the crew, since both fit on a driveway without blocking the street. If your load is bigger than expected, our 20 yard dumpster rental and 30 yard dumpster rental pages cover the step-up options before you commit to the smaller box.
A 10 yard trash dumpster is built for smaller jobs, not full construction demo. It handles furniture, yard waste, small remodel debris, and general household cleanout junk without much trouble. What it will not take is a long list: tires, batteries, paint cans, and certain electronics usually need separate disposal, and our what cannot go in a dumpster guide spells out the rest so you are not surprised at pickup. Overloading past the fill line, or past the dumpster's rated capacity, can trigger extra charges, and our dumpster weight limits page explains how that gets calculated. For bigger demolition or new-build sites in Evanston, a straight 10 yard box usually is not enough. Look at construction dumpster rental or the 40 yard dumpster rental option instead, since those handle framing lumber and heavier tear-out loads better.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery, since driveway drop-offs and street drop-offs are treated differently in most Illinois municipalities. We have not verified a specific Evanston ordinance number for roll-off placement, so check with the city before the truck arrives if the dumpster will sit on the street or parkway rather than a private driveway. Our dumpster permit requirements page covers the general questions to ask your local building or public works department. Delivery itself needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so measure your driveway or alley before scheduling. If you are also running a porta john rental or temporary fence rental on the same site, plan clearance for both trucks, not just one.

Delivery fees run separately, typically $50 to $150 for a shorter rental and higher for month-long jobs. Full cost breakdowns, including what drives the range, live on our dumpster rental cost page. If a dumpster is not the right fit and you just need general roll-off dumpster rental guidance, that hub page compares every size we offer side by side.
Expect $51 to $112 a day, or $91 to $500 for a full month, depending on how long you keep it and how the haul-away is scheduled. Delivery is usually a separate line item, often $50 to $150 depending on distance and timing. Get a firm number through request a quote.
Most rentals run by the day, week, or month, and pricing scales with each tier. A weekend rental works for quick cleanouts too. Longer jobs, like a full remodel, usually make more sense on a monthly rate. See monthly porta potty rental for how we structure longer combined site rentals.
Paint, batteries, tires, and certain electronics are typically excluded, along with hazardous chemicals. Overfilling past the rim or exceeding the weight rating adds fees. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before you start loading, since rules vary by material type and local disposal facility.
Driveway placement usually does not need a permit, but street or parkway placement often does, and this varies by city. Evanston Porta Pros has not verified a specific ordinance number, so confirm directly with the city. Our porta potty permit requirements page covers the same question for portable restrooms.
Plan on about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for the roll-off to load and unload safely. Narrow alleys or tight driveways in older Evanston neighborhoods sometimes need a site visit first. Homeowners near Wilmette, about 4.1 miles northwest, often face similar older-lot clearance issues.
