6x12 10,000-lb Dump Trailer Rental, Columbia MD
The lighter dump. Yard waste, mulch, small cleanouts, a bathroom demo or a load of brush. It's easier to tow than the 7x14 and costs less, and it still dumps with a hydraulic lift. We have two.

Check your truck before you book
Lighter than the 7x14, but still heavy when full: a loaded 10K trailer can put 1,000–1,500 lb on your hitch. Many half-tons can pull it empty; check yours before a heavy load.
How much it holds, by material
Payload, not volume, limits heavy materials. Never fill gravel or soil to the top.
| Material | lb per cu yd | Max per load (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Mixed remodel or cleanout debris | 450 | Full bed |
| Asphalt shingles | 731 | Full bed |
| Yard waste and brush | 127 | Full bed |
| Mulch | 800 | Full bed |
| Topsoil or dirt | 2,100 | About 3.2 cu yd (73% full) |
| Gravel, sand or stone | 2,700 | About 2.5 cu yd (57% full) |

Where to dump it
Howard County: Alpha Ridge Landfill, 2350 Marriottsville Rd, Marriottsville, MD. Any resident using a trailer or rental vehicle is treated as a commercial customer: a $40 yearly permit and every load crosses the scale. Residents using a rental vehicle may also need a special-exception form approved before unloading, so call ahead. Construction debris is $106/ton plus a 2.45% card fee. Monday–Saturday only; Howard County waste only.
Every county around us weighs rented trailer loads and charges by the ton, and none opens Sunday.
Return It Loaded
Bring it back full and we take it to the scale for the county price plus $49. Saturday-afternoon renters: this is how you avoid keeping a full trailer until Monday.
Questions about the 6x12 10K Dump
Will my half-ton tow it?
Empty, probably. Loaded depends on your truck's tongue rating. Use the tow checker.
6x12 or 7x14?
Pick the 6x12 for yard waste, mulch and small cleanouts, or when your truck can't handle the 7x14 loaded. Pick the 7x14 for roofs, demo and dirt.
How much does it hold?
4.44 cubic yards level with the 20-inch sides, or 6,800 lb, whichever comes first. Gravel and soil run out of weight before space. Try the load calculator.
Where do I dump it?
Every county around us weighs trailer loads and charges by the ton. See the county guides.
