How big is a 30 yard dumpster?

A 30 yard dumpster from I Need Dumpster is 17.5 ft long, 8 ft wide and 6.5 ft high and holds 30 cubic yards, about 9 to 12 pickup truck loads. It's the largest size we rent.

How much does a 30 yard dumpster cost in San Antonio?

A 30 yard starts at $599, including delivery, pickup, 28 days and up to 4 tons of disposal. Extra days are $10 each, and weight over 4 tons is $90 per ton. Contractors and multi-dumpster projects may qualify for preferred pricing.

What is a 30 yard dumpster used for?

It's used for new construction cleanup, interior demolition, commercial renovations and very large cleanouts. Basically any job producing more than about 9 pickup loads of mostly light debris.

Will a 30 yard dumpster fit in my driveway?

It needs a flat, solid area at least 17.5 ft long and 8 ft wide, plus at least 20 ft of overhead clearance and 3 ft on each side. Many residential driveways fit it, but a 20 yard (12 ft long) is easier on tight lots. We'll help you pick the best spot on delivery day.

20 yard vs 30 yard: which do I need?

A 20 yard (6 to 9 loads, 3 tons) handles most whole-house cleanouts and roofs. A 30 yard (9 to 12 loads, 4 tons) is for construction, demolition and commercial jobs. If you'd otherwise need two 20s, one 30 is usually simpler.

Do you offer a 40 yard dumpster?

No. The 30 yard is our largest size. For bigger projects, ask about swap-out scheduling or more than one dumpster. Multi-dumpster projects may qualify for preferred pricing.

Do you work with contractors?

Yes. Contractors and multi-dumpster projects may qualify for preferred pricing, and net terms may be available for qualified commercial accounts. Call 210-904-0404 or see our contractor program.

Do I need a permit for a 30 yard on a job site?

Not when it sits entirely on private property, like a lot or driveway. Placement on a street, sidewalk or other public right-of-way in San Antonio needs a City of San Antonio right-of-way permit.

Looking for a 40 yard? The 30 yard is our largest size. Get a quote or call 210-904-0404 for multi-bin jobs.

The 30 yard is our largest roll-off and the size San Antonio contractors order for big jobs. It holds 30 cubic yards, about 9 to 12 pickup truck loads, in a 17.5 ft x 8 ft x 6.5 ft container. That's enough for new construction cleanup, interior demolition, a large commercial tenant buildout, or a full-house cleanout combined with a remodel.

It's a regular on job sites from the master-planned communities going up north and east of the city to restaurant and retail renovations along the Pearl, Southtown and South Flores corridors. Pricing starts at $599 and includes delivery, pickup, 28 days on site and up to 4 tons of disposal. Contractors and multi-dumpster projects may qualify for preferred pricing.

Because it's 17.5 ft long, the 30 yard needs more room than our other standard sizes. A long driveway, a job-site staging area or a commercial lot usually works best. Same-day delivery is available for most orders placed before 2 PM.

30 Yard Dumpster Weight Limit Notes

4 tons (8,000 lbs) of disposal is included. Anything over is billed at $90 per ton from the disposal scale ticket.
The 30 yard is sized for volume, not weight. Heavy loads like full roofs, wet debris or plaster can reach 4 tons well before the bin is full.
For job sites that need ongoing service, ask about swap-out scheduling instead of overfilling. Call 210-904-0404 to set it up.
Concrete and dirt from site work go in the 10 yard heavy duty.
The 30 yard is the largest dumpster size we rent. There is no 40 yard option.
