The 10-yard is the bin to grab when the job is small but the material is heavy. It measures roughly 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 3.5 feet tall, low walls you can toss into without a ramp, and short enough to tuck onto a standard driveway in Rigden Farm or Maple Hill without eating your whole parking pad. Because the walls are low, it's the smart choice for dense debris: a bathroom tear-out, a concrete patio in Miramont, or old asphalt shingles off a Warren Farms roof. Those materials hit the weight cap long before they hit the fill line, so a bigger bin just buys you empty air you'd pay to haul.
Pick the 10-yard when you're clearing a single room, a garage, or a small landscaping project. If you're gutting a whole kitchen, clearing an estate in Old Town, or running a full-house remodel in Fossil Lake Ranch, step up to a 20-yard so you're not paying for a second haul. The trade-off is simple: the 10-yard costs less and drops in tighter spots, but it fills fast on bulky items like furniture and drywall. When in doubt, tell us what you're tossing and we'll steer you to the size that actually fits the pile, no upselling to a bin you don't need.
Placement matters in Fort Collins. Most driveways in newer neighborhoods like Bucking Horse, The Landings, and Registry Ridge handle a 10-yard easily. If you need it in the street near Old Town or Harmony Crossing, the City may require a permit for public right-of-way, worth a quick check before drop day. We set the bin where you point, mind low branches and gates, and keep the truck off soft turf when we can. Larimer County transfer rules apply to what goes in, which is why the no-hazardous, no-tires, no-paint list isn't fine print, it keeps your load from getting rejected and you from getting charged extra.
Straight talk on price: the number we quote covers delivery, pickup, and disposal up to the weight limit. Go over the cap or toss banned items and there's an overage, we tell you the per-ton rate before you book so there are no surprises. That's the whole point of the 10-yard: a small, honest bin dropped fast so you can get back to the project instead of hauling truckloads to the dump yourself.
