The 10 yard container in Augusta, GA
The 10 yard is the smallest roll-off Vaughn Bros runs, and around Augusta it's usually the right call for two very different situations: a job that's genuinely small, or a job that's genuinely heavy. A single bathroom gut, a garage cleanout, or a load of old fencing doesn't need a container the size of a boat. And if you're pulling out concrete, brick, or tile from an older Augusta property, weight — not volume — is what fills a dumpster fast, so a smaller box with a real tonnage allowance often makes more sense than a bigger one you'll never load past a few feet deep.
It's also the size that fits where nothing else will. A short driveway apron in an older Richmond County neighborhood, a tight lot near downtown Broad Street, or a townhome community in Martinez or Evans with shared parking — the 10 yard sits low and doesn't eat the whole yard while it's there. If you're not sure this is enough room for your project, call us at (762) 320-6882 and we'll walk through it with you before you order.
Why weight matters more than size here
Every roll-off has a tonnage allowance built into the flat rate, and it's a smaller number on a 10 yard than on the bigger containers. That's fine for household junk and construction debris, but concrete, brick, dirt, and roofing shingles are dense — a few feet of broken concrete can weigh more than the whole container is rated to carry. For projects like a driveway tear-out or a small patio demo, the 10 yard is usually the most economical option precisely because you're paying for the weight allowance you'll actually use, not empty cubic footage.
What a 10 yard looks like in person
Picture roughly three to four full pickup truck beds, packed flat, and that's about what 10 cubic yards holds. It's low-sided enough to load by hand — patio pavers, old drywall, a broken toilet, cabinet doors — without needing to heave everything up and over a tall wall. That makes it the size most homeowners and small contractors reach for when the job is contained to one room or one weekend.
Capacity
What actually fits in a 10 yard container
Rough working figures. Weight, not volume, is what stops most loads.
| Material | How much fits |
|---|---|
| Concrete, brick, or tile | a small patio, walkway, or single-car driveway section |
| Bathroom remodel debris | one full bathroom gut — tile, drywall, fixtures, subfloor |
| Garage or shed cleanout | a single-car garage or a backyard shed, cleared out fully |
| Yard debris | storm-downed limbs and brush from an average CSRA residential lot |
| Furniture and household junk | one to two rooms of furniture, boxes, and general clutter |

Placing a 10 yard container on an Augusta-area property
A lot of the 10 yard calls we get from inside Augusta come from older streets around downtown and the Medical College of Georgia campus, where driveways were built decades before roll-off trucks existed. If your property sits entirely on private ground — a driveway, a side yard, a gravel pad — you generally don't need any city sign-off to place a container there. If a container has to sit in the street, an alley, or any part of the public right-of-way, Augusta-Richmond County requires a Right-of-Way Encroachment Permit through the Augusta Engineering Department, and we can talk you through whether your spot needs one when you call.

Answers
10 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
Is a 10 yard dumpster big enough for a bathroom remodel?
For a single bathroom taken down to the studs, yes. It comfortably holds the tile, drywall, old fixtures, and subfloor from one bathroom without pushing past the weight allowance.
Why would a 10 yard cost less than a 15 or 20 for the same job?
It's not about the container being smaller so much as the tonnage allowance being smaller. If your debris is genuinely light in volume or heavy in weight per foot, the 10 yard lets you pay for only the capacity you need.
Can a 10 yard handle concrete or brick?
Yes, and for small amounts of concrete or brick it's usually the size we recommend. Just tell us roughly how much you're removing when you call so we can confirm it fits inside the weight allowance.
Will a 10 yard dumpster fit in a normal driveway?
In almost every case, yes. It's the shortest and lowest container we run, which is exactly why it works on the older, narrower driveways common around Augusta, North Augusta, and Aiken.
