The 30-yard is the container for big jobs that generate a lot of light-to-medium debris at once — full-home remodels, kitchen tear-outs, new construction, and whole-home cleanouts. Its taller walls give you real volume for bulky material, while heavy debris still belongs in a smaller, weight-rated box. Here's what it holds, what it's best for, how much it costs, and how it compares to a 40-yard.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H |
| Capacity | ≈ 9 pickup truck loads |
| Typical weight included | 3–4 tons |
| Typical price | $425–$600 |
At roughly nine pickup loads with tall walls for bulky debris, the 30-yard is the standard for whole-project jobs:
At about six feet tall, the 30-yard gives you materially more vertical volume than the 20-yard for bulky, lighter material — the debris stream of a gut renovation. That extra height is what makes it the standard for full remodels. For mixed heavy-and-light construction debris, your partner may pair it with a 10-yard heavy-debris box so you don't blow past the weight allowance.
Picture roughly nine pickup loads: the complete debris of a full-home remodel — drywall, flooring, cabinetry, trim, and old furniture — or a new-construction framing phase. It's large enough to avoid constant swaps on a big residential job, without stepping up to the commercial-scale 40-yard.
A 30-yard covers most residential renovation and construction jobs. Step up to a 40-yard only for large commercial construction, demolition, or whole-property clear-outs generating a very high volume of light, bulky material. If your debris is heavy, neither large size is right — that goes in a 10-yard.
Around nine pickup-truck loads — enough for a full-home remodel, a new-construction phase, or a whole-home cleanout with bulky furniture.
A 30-yard container typically rents for $425–$600 all-in in our markets, with 3–4 tons of disposal included.
A 30-yard is the usual choice for a full-home or gut remodel — large enough for drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and old furniture without constant swaps. Add a dedicated 10-yard for any concrete or tile.
A 30-yard roll-off is about 22' L × 8' W × 6' H — same length and width as a 20-yard but noticeably taller, giving you extra volume for bulky material.
