Approximate — actual capacity depends on how debris is loaded.
At 6 ft tall, the 30-yard is loaded from ground level — plan to load heavy material low and work up as the job progresses.
Placement & clearance
The delivery truck needs a clear, firm, level spot with room to set and retrieve the container:
Length
~30'Container plus truck clearance
Width
~20'Container plus side clearance
Overhead
~20'For the truck’s lift arm
Driveways can be protected with boards. Street placement may need a municipal permit — we confirm this on your quote.
Weight & heavy debris
This size includes a typical allowance of 3.5–5 tons (7,000–10,000 lbs). Weight, not volume, is usually the real limit:
- Dense material — concrete, brick, dirt, asphalt — hits the weight cap while the box still looks half full.
- Overage beyond the included tonnage is billed per ton; we flag this when heavy debris is involved.
- Tell us your debris type so the right container and tonnage are matched on your quote.

30-Yard questions
What projects need a 30-yard dumpster?
Major work — home demolition, new construction, whole-home renovations, large roof tear-offs, and commercial remodels that generate 9–12 pickup loads of debris.
How tall is it, and does that matter?
It stands about 6 ft tall. That’s still loaded from ground level, but it’s worth planning your loading sequence — heavy material low, bulkier debris on top — as demolition progresses.
Can I put concrete in it?
Moderate amounts, yes — but concrete and masonry are extremely heavy and reach the weight limit fast. Large volumes of heavy debris are often better in a dedicated heavy-debris container, which we can arrange.
