About the 30-yard
The 30-yard has the same footprint as a 20 but taller walls, about 6 feet. That extra height adds half again the space without needing a bigger spot. Walls that high are harder to toss over, so use the rear door for heavy items.
Good for
- Major home renovations and additions
- Large estate cleanouts with furniture
- Siding or window replacement on a whole house
- Demolishing a garage or large shed
- Commercial cleanouts
Not the best fit for
Roofing and heavy debris (it fills by weight long before it fills by volume), or tight driveways.
Loading tips
- Use the walk-in rear door and load from the front of the box backward.
- Bulky, light material (furniture, framing, cardboard) is what this size is for.
- Ask about the weight allowance in your quote; overage is billed per ton at the local rate.
Bigger or smaller?
A 20-yard holds about about 6 pickup loads; a 40-yard holds about about 12. If you are between two sizes, the bigger one usually costs less than a second haul. Compare all sizes.
30-yard dumpster questions
How big is a 30-yard dumpster?
Typically about 22 ft long, 8 ft wide, 6 ft high. It holds 30 cubic yards, roughly about 9 pickup-truck loads. Exact dimensions vary a little by hauler.
How much does a 30-yard dumpster cost?
Typically $450 to $800 for a 7-day rental, depending on your ZIP, the debris type and local disposal rates. That is an estimate; your quote gives one exact, all-in delivered price.
How much weight can a 30-yard dumpster hold?
The included weight allowance is typically 3 to 4 tons. Going over is billed per ton at the local rate, usually around $50 to $125 per ton, and the rate is listed in your quote.
Can I put concrete or dirt in a 30-yard?
Not in most areas. Heavy debris goes in a 10-yard filled to a marked line, because a bigger box full of rock would be too heavy to lift or drive legally.
Will a 30-yard fit on my driveway?
You need a flat spot about 22 feet long and 8 to 11 feet wide, plus room for the truck to back in (roughly 60 feet in a straight line) and clear overhead space. Larger sizes are tall, so check for low wires and branches.
