The 30 yard is where the container stops being a homeowner tool and starts being a project tool. Same footprint on the ground as a 20 yard, but taller walls that add half again as much capacity.

The taller walls mean most loading happens through the swinging rear door rather than over the side. Plan for that when you pick a placement spot.

Footprint

Same 22 foot length as a 20 yard, so it needs the same ground space but stands noticeably taller.

Right jobs for this size

Best Uses for a 30 Yard Dumpster

Whole-House Renovations.

Gut jobs where multiple rooms come down to the studs. A 20 yard often fills before the demo phase ends; a 30 yard usually finishes the job.

New Construction and Additions.

Residential builds and home additions generate steady volume across weeks. The 30 yard reduces how often you need a swap.

Large Estate and Property Cleanouts.

Full properties, including garages, sheds, and accumulated years of belongings.

Commercial Remodels and Cleanouts.

Office, retail, and restaurant renovations where fixtures, furniture, and buildout debris pile up fast.

Siding, Deck, and Structural Tear-Offs.

Large exterior jobs that produce high volume of light, bulky material.

Demolition Debris.

Mixed construction and demolition material from structural work, sized so volume is not the bottleneck.

The most common sizing question

Choosing Between a 20 Yard and a 30 Yard

This is the most common sizing question at the larger end, and the answer comes down to what kind of debris you have. The 30 yard adds volume, not weight capacity, in proportion. It is built for light, bulky material: framing lumber, drywall, siding, furniture, packaging, and general construction debris that fills space fast without weighing much.

If your debris is dense, the extra height does not help you. Concrete, brick, dirt, and shingles hit the weight limit long before a 30 yard fills, so those loads belong in a 10 yard. Roll-off containers cannot be hauled above safe transport weight regardless of how much room is left inside.

The practical rule: if you are gutting a house, framing a build, or clearing a large property, go 30. If the load is heavy material, go 10 and run a separate container. And if you are somewhere between a 20 and a 30 on a light-debris job, the 30 usually costs less than a second delivery would.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 5 to 6 feet tall, holding 30 cubic yards or roughly 810 cubic feet. That is around 170 to 190 trash bags or 9 to 12 pickup truck loads of debris.

Both are about 22 feet long, so they take the same ground space. The 30 yard is taller, adding roughly 50 percent more volume. Choose the 30 for light, bulky debris like framing, drywall, siding, and furniture. For heavy material, neither is right; dense loads go in a 10 yard because of weight limits.

Usually, since it is the same length as a 20 yard. The difference is height, so watch for low branches and overhead wires at the placement spot, and make sure the truck has a clear straight approach. Boards go down to protect your driveway.

Typically 3 to 5 tons, and our flat rate includes 4 tons, with overage at $70 per ton off the certified scale. Even with that higher allowance, dense material like concrete will hit the weight ceiling well before the container is full, so heavy debris goes in a smaller dedicated container.

For a whole-house gut renovation, yes, it is often the right size. Multiple rooms of demolition debris usually overflow a 20 yard partway through demo. For a single-room remodel, a 20 yard or even a 10 is enough.

Generally $525 flat, including delivery, pickup, 7 rental days, disposal, and 4 tons. Extra days are $25, overage is $70 per ton, and swap-outs for ongoing jobs are $425. All numbers in writing before we schedule.
