Projects, Loading Rules & Cost Breakdown

Best Projects for a 30 Yard Dumpster

Because a 30 yard bin shares the same 22-foot length and 8-foot width as a 20 yard container, it fits in the same driveway space while holding 50% more volume. It is the preferred choice for whole-house estate or foreclosure cleanouts, two-story home additions, commercial office cubicle liquidations, and bulky furniture disposal. ^[1]

Prohibited Materials & Heavy Debris Restrictions

Most haulers prohibit filling a 30 yard dumpster with pure dirt, concrete, or brick because a full load would exceed legal highway axle weight limits. Keep heavy inert materials in a 10-yard low-wall box and use a 30-yard container for bulky construction, demolition, and household debris. ^[1]
