10 Yard Dumpster Rental in Snellville, GA
The 10 yard is the heavy-debris specialist. It looks small because it is meant to - it's built for material so dense that weight, not volume, is the limit, which around Snellville means concrete, brick and the region's heavy red clay.

Built for weight, not volume
The 10 yard exists because heavy material reaches a truck's legal road weight long before it fills a large box. Concrete runs to roughly two tons per cubic yard, so a 10 yard filled level with it is already at the legal limit - which is exactly why we steer heavy debris here rather than into a tempting-looking 20 or 30.
Georgia red clay lives here
Around Snellville the everyday version of this is Georgia red clay. The Piedmont clay is dense and holds water, so spoil from a footing, a retaining wall or a grading job weighs far more per yard than the construction debris beside it, and belongs in its own dedicated 10 yard. Let it dry first if the schedule allows, since wet clay is heavier still.
Keep concrete clean and recyclable
If you're tearing out a driveway, slab or patio, keep the concrete clean - no timber or tangled rebar - and it can go to a crusher for reuse rather than a C&D landfill, which is cheaper and greener. Tell us the square footage and rough thickness and we'll work out how many containers, because with masonry it's routinely more than one.

(770) 746-706210 Yard Dumpster: common questions
What fits in a 10 yard dumpster?
By volume, roughly three to four pickup loads - but the 10 yard is really about weight. It's sized so that heavy material like concrete, brick or Georgia red-clay spoil reaches the legal road weight at about the point the container is full.
Why is the 10 yard best for heavy debris?
Because dense material hits the truck's legal weight limit before it fills a larger box. A 10 yard of concrete is already at that limit, so a bigger container couldn't legally be moved - it would just sit on your property.
Can I put red clay or dirt in it?
Yes, and it's the right container for it. Georgia red clay is dense, so it goes in a dedicated 10 yard rather than mixed into general debris where it would max out the weight while the box looked half full. Let it dry first if you can.
