30 Cubic Yard Roll Off Dumpster Dimensions & Use

How large is a 30 yard dumpster? Express Roll Off Dumpsters of Brevard County, Florida, will go over the dimensions of our 30 yard roll-offs, as well as the most common uses for a 30 yard dumpster and its weight capacity.

Dimensions of a 30 Yard Dumpster

The 30 yard dumpster container measures 22 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 6 feet in height. This size roll off can hold up to 15 pick-up truck loads worth of debris, waste, or contents.

Hauling Capacity of 30 Yard Dumpster Containers

Most 30 yard roll off dumpsters come with a stated weight capacity, which is the total weight of the waste the container can accommodate. Express Roll Off allows a generous 8-ton limit on clean loads. Our residential customers, or renovators working at a residential address, are not subject to additional dump fees. However, commercial renovation, government renovation, and new construction are subject to a fee of $23.66/ton at commercial job sites and residential construction.

The average weight allowed by most dumpster companies when renting 30 yard dumpsters is 4 to 5 tons, or 8,000 to 10,000 pounds. The average dumpster container load of debris weighs about 340 pounds per cubic yard.

Let's Compare Some Disposal Figures:

• 30 cubic yards of loosely loaded general debris weighs 9,000 pounds.
• 15 yards of tightly packed, wet, or general waste weighs approximately 9,000 pounds.
• 30 cubic yards of loosely loaded construction debris weighs roughly 12,000 pounds.
• 15 cubic yards of yard waste weighs about 9,000 pounds (OK if disposed of by itself).
• 20 cubic yards of drywall debris weighs roughly 10,000 pounds.

Loading Capacity and Tips for a 30 Yard Dumpster

As mentioned above, Express Roll Off dumpster rental allows for a generous weight limit when using our roll-off containers. However, the county dump has restrictions on the type of debris not subject to additional disposal fees.

30 Cubic Yard Dumpster Loading Tips:

• Ask the driver delivering your 30 yard roll off to open the hinged door for easy loading.
• Dispense of contents evenly in the container to allow more room for filling and aid in transport.
• Only load the roll off to the fill line. Express tarps each load before hauling it away to the dump. This is not only a DOT law but also a safety standard in transporting our roll-off containers.

Heavy debris, such as roof shingles, concrete, or dirt, is not allowed in Express Roll Off’s 30 yard containers. The weight of heavy materials such as these exceeds the lifting capacity of our roll-off trucks. We recommend 15 yard dumpsters filled 3/4 of the way full for heavy materials such as those listed above.

When Are 30 Yard Dumpsters Recommended?

30 yard trash dumpsters are ideal for mid-large sized construction, demolition, remodeling, renovation, and larger scale clean-out projects.

30 Yard Roll Off Dumpsters Are Great For:

• Dumpster rental for home demolition and large garage clean-outs
• Large wood deck removals (500-1,000 square feet)
• Kitchen & master bathroom renovations
• Junk disposal when moving from one residence to another
• Smaller home demolition or shed/barn demo
• Construction of new homes, cottages, or cabins

• Clean-out circumstances: foreclosures, hoarding, or estate clean-outs

Of course, 30 yard roll-offs are great for a wide variety of other projects as well. One great aspect of renting 30 yard containers is their versatility and price. It’s the most advantageous pricing option, costing less than two 15 yard dumpster rentals (renting a 15 yard bin and needing it dumped and returned to you again - AKA - a dump return), and a 30 yard rental only costs $100 more than a 20 yard dumpster to rent.
