10-Yard Dumpster Rental New York

The 10-yard dumpster measures roughly 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 3.5 feet tall, low walls that let you toss debris over the side instead of hauling it up a ramp. That footprint matters in New York, where a driveway is rare and a container usually sits at the curb. In brownstone blocks around Harlem and the Upper West Side, the 10-yard tucks into a single parked-car length, which keeps street-placement simpler than the 20-yard or 30-yard containers.

The 10-yard fits a bathroom gut, a single-room cleanout, a small kitchen tear-out, or about 250 square feet of tile and drywall. Choose it when the job is one room or a garage-sized purge; step up to the 20-yard at $695 when a full apartment renovation or roof tear-off is generating debris faster than you can load it. The trade-off is straightforward: the 10-yard costs less and takes less street space, but it caps out around 4 pickup loads, so a whole-home cleanout will overflow it. A dumpster rental is not junk removal, you load the container yourself, and True Grit hauls it when you are done.

Street placement in New York County (Manhattan) often requires a permit when the container sits on a public street rather than private property. Blocks in Chelsea, Greenwich Village, the East Village, and the Lower East Side are tight, and metered or no-standing zones change the rules by the block. True Grit answers permit questions plainly and helps you sort placement before drop-off, no runaround. Heavy debris like concrete or dirt is dense; because pricing is flat with no tonnage surcharge, a 10-yard packed with masonry still stays $595, but overloaded containers past the fill line cannot be legally hauled.

Booking runs in three steps. First, call (332) 587-5608 with your address, the neighborhood, and what you are throwing out. Second, you get one all-in $595 quote and a drop-off window, often same-day in Tribeca, Hell's Kitchen, Washington Heights, and Inwood if you call early. Third, load the container at your own pace and call for pickup when it's full. Dumped fast. One straight price.
