10-Yard Dumpster Rental in Longview, TX

A 10-yard rental in Longview starts from $325 for a 7-day flat rate. That price includes delivery, pickup, a 2-ton (4,000 lb) weight allowance, and driveway protection boards — no day-rate billing, no pickup surcharges. The only variable is weight: loads over 2 tons are charged a per-ton overage rate calculated from the scale ticket at Pine Hill Landfill, disclosed before booking, not at pickup. For most projects this container is built for — a garage cleanout, a single bathroom gut-out, or weekend yard debris from an Oak Forest or Eastgate property — the 2-ton allowance is sufficient and the total cost stays at the base rate.

A 10-yard dumpster holds approximately 50–70 standard 33-gallon trash bags, or 3–4 pickup truck loads. That capacity comes from a 12 × 8 × 3.5 ft interior — comparable to the floor space of a single-car garage laid flat. The low 3.5-foot wall height means you can load over the side without lifting debris above shoulder height, staging material over several days. In Longview project terms: a full single-car garage cleanout, a small bathroom gut-out including original tile and fixtures, or several weekends of brush and yard debris from a Gregg County property with mature pine and post-oak.

Yes, but the 2-ton allowance fills fast on dense materials. Concrete weighs approximately 150 lbs per cubic foot — a 4-inch walkway at 10 × 10 feet produces roughly 1,500 lbs from one small section. A full patio or driveway section exceeds the 2-ton limit before the container looks a quarter full by volume; overage is charged per ton from the scale ticket at pickup. For Longview projects: a single patio step or short walkway section typically stays within the limit. Anything larger — a full driveway section, a concrete patio, a retaining wall demolition — needs a 20-yard or dedicated concrete container. Call us with the dimensions before booking and we will tell you which is right.

No permit is required when the container sits entirely on your private driveway or property. Street placement requires a Right-of-Way Construction Permit from the City of Longview Public Works Department at 933 Mobile Drive — reachable at 903-237-1240. The 10-yard's compact 12-foot footprint fits on most Longview residential driveways — including the narrower driveways in Oak Forest and Eastgate — without extending to the street. We coordinate the permit process when needed; flag it at booking so we have time before delivery day.

Call us and we arrange a swap — we pick up the full container and drop a fresh one. A swap costs more than the original rental but less than stopping the project mid-way and losing contractor time. If the remaining volume is significant, we may suggest stepping up to a 20-yard for the second drop. We typically have same-day or next-morning swap availability except during peak season — late spring and the first two weeks of May, when semester-end cleanouts near LeTourneau University compress container inventory across Gregg County.

Prohibited items include paint, motor oil, solvents, car batteries, propane tanks, tires, appliances with refrigerant (refrigerators, AC units, window units, freezers), asbestos-containing materials, and medical or biohazardous waste. These cannot be accepted at Pine Hill Landfill under Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations — prohibited materials discovered at the landfill trigger removal fees exceeding the cost of proper disposal upfront. For local disposal in Gregg County: car batteries go to AutoZone or O'Reilly Auto Parts for free recycling; tires through county periodic collection events. Everything from a typical residential cleanout — furniture, drywall, carpet, lumber, yard waste — is accepted.
