Can a Dumpster Fit in My Driveway in Phoenix?
In most Phoenix neighborhoods, yes — a dumpster fits in the driveway without any issues. The dimensions of standard DX dumpsters are designed to work with typical Valley driveway widths.
The key is the bin’s footprint and the truck’s approach angle. Here’s what Phoenix homeowners and contractors usually need to know.
Standard DX Dumpster Widths
- 10-yard: 8 feet wide
- 20-yard: 8 feet wide
- 30-yard: 8 feet wide
- 40-yard: 8 feet wide
Since almost all DX dumpsters are 8 feet wide, the deciding factor is your driveway width and any obstacles near the entry.
A Dumpster Will Fit If:
- Your driveway is at least 10 feet wide
- There are no low branches or overhead obstructions
- Your driveway is clear of vehicles or tight turns
- The truck can back straight in without scraping walls or gates
A Dumpster May Not Fit If:
- Your driveway is narrow or curves sharply
- You have stone pillars or block walls at the entry
- The driveway slopes steeply
- Overhead clearance is blocked by trees or carports
In these cases, DX can often place the dumpster on a different part of your property or stage it temporarily until space opens up.
What About Large Construction Driveways?
Nearly every Phoenix construction driveway or dirt pad has enough space for 20-, 30-, and 40-yard dumpsters. Commercial pads and custom home builds rarely have width issues.
