When you have more waste than your weekly trash pickup can handle, you might find yourself searching for a dumpster rental, but don’t want something too large. If you have looked around, you may have seen other dumpster rental companies offer a 10-yard dumpster and assume that is what you need.
But why settle for less when Gregory Dumpsters can provide you with a 12-yard dumpster at a similar price to a competitor’s 10-yard dumpster? Also, actually the smarter choice for most homeowners and small projects. Gregory has been in the waste management business for many years and understands that once a cleanout starts, people find more and more things to put into our dumpsters, which is why our smallest dumpster is 12 yards. With a 12-yard dumpster, customers have more room to fill the dumpster and can avoid any extra fees sometimes associated with swapouts.
Why You Might Think You Need a 10-Yard
Most people don’t rent dumpsters often. So it is highly likely that when you Googled “small dumpster rental,” or “small dumpster rental near me,” you saw a company whose smallest dumpster rental was a 10-yard dumpster. What you might have thought is that is what you need, but the reality is that is just the cheapest size dumpster rental companies can purchase. Many companies just starting out in the dumpster business often fill their fleet with smaller dumpsters, even though they may not be the best choice for their customers.
More Room = More Peace of Mind
The challenge with a 10-yard dumpster is that it fills up fast. One old couch, a few bulky boxes, or some drywall, and suddenly you’re out of space. If you’re tossing appliances, make sure to check on proper disposal for eco-friendly tips before loading them in your dumpster.
And if you’ve ever done a cleanout, you know how it goes — once you start, you always find more to toss than you planned. A 10-yard often forces customers into tough choices: “Should I keep that pile for later? Can I squeeze it in? Will I get charged for going over?” and if you find more stuff you could find yourself either:
- Stuck paying overage fees for overfilling, or
- Renting a second dumpster you didn’t plan for.
With a 12-yard, those worries disappear. With just a bit of extra capacity, you can handle those unexpected piles without worrying about overflow, hidden fees, or ordering a second dumpster.
Similar Price, Better Value
You might be thinking, yeah, right, you’re just trying to upsell me to spend more on a bigger dumpster that I don’t need. Here’s the kicker: the pricing of most competitors’ 10-yard dumpster and our 12-yard dumpster is comparable. That means you’re not just getting a little more room, you’re getting more value. You don’t have to take our word for it; you can

FAQs: 10-Yard vs. 12-Yard Dumpsters
Q: Why do other companies advertise a 10-yard dumpster?
Because it’s a standard industry size. But in reality, most people find it’s too small, which is why our 12-yard is a smarter option.
Q: Is a 12-yard dumpster much bigger than a 10-yard?
Not much — it still fits easily in driveways. But that extra capacity (roughly 1 more pickup truck load) makes all the difference.
Q: Do I pay more for a 12-yard vs. a 10-yard?
Not really. Pricing is very similar, but you’re getting more room for your money — making the 12-yard a better value.
