30 Yard Dumpster
30 Yard Dumpster Rental
A 30 yard dumpster is built for serious volume, the kind of size that shows up on commercial job sites, large remodels, and demolition projects rather than a typical residential driveway. It's one of our largest standard sizes and the go-to choice once a project moves clearly beyond residential scale.

30 Yard Dumpster Specs
Dimensions & Capacity
What You Get
At approximately 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6.5 feet high, a 30 yard dumpster offers substantial capacity while keeping a footprint similar to a 25 yard. The added height accounts for most of the extra volume, which helps it fit into commercial lots and job sites without requiring significantly more ground space.
This size typically includes a weight allowance of around 3 to 5 tons. Demolition debris and mixed commercial waste can vary widely in weight depending on materials involved, so it's worth discussing your specific debris type with your hauler, especially for projects involving concrete, brick, or other dense materials. Large remodels generating a mix of lighter renovation debris generally have more room to work with before hitting the weight limit.
Why Choose This Size
Built For These Projects
Commercial Jobs
Business waste and commercial-scale project debris.

Pricing
What It Costs
A 30 yard dumpster typically costs $500 to $800 for a standard 7 to 10 day rental, depending on your location and debris type. See our Dumpster Rental Cost Guide for a full breakdown, or use Advisor for exact pricing at your address.
If your project involves major new construction, large-scale demolition, or very high debris volume, a 40 yard dumpster may offer more comfortable capacity. Advisor can help confirm whether a 30 yard is the right size for your specific project.

How is a 30 yard dumpster different from a 25 yard?
A 30 yard dumpster offers additional height and volume compared to a 25 yard while keeping a similar footprint. This translates into meaningfully more capacity without requiring significantly more ground space on a job site or lot.
Is a 30 yard dumpster good for demolition debris?
Yes, a 30 yard dumpster is a common choice for demolition projects, though weight matters more than volume for this type of debris. Dense materials like concrete or brick can approach the weight allowance well before the container looks full.
Will a 30 yard dumpster fit on a residential driveway?
It can, but a 30 yard dumpster is more commonly used on commercial lots and job sites due to its size. If you're considering one for a residential property, confirm your driveway has enough length and overhead clearance before booking.
How long can I keep a 30 yard dumpster?
Most rentals include seven to ten days of usage, though larger commercial and demolition projects often use swap-out service instead of a single extended rental. Ask your hauler about scheduled swap-outs if your project will run longer.
How do I know if I need a bigger size than 30 yards?
If your project involves major new construction, large-scale demolition, or very high debris volume, a 40 yard dumpster may offer more comfortable capacity. Use Advisor for a personalized recommendation based on your specific project.
