The 30 Yard Dumpster: Built for Big Jobs
The 30 yard is the largest roll-off Waste Falcon runs, and it exists for the projects that overwhelm everything smaller. It holds about twelve pickup truck loads behind six-foot walls — the container contractors, builders, and property managers across the Brazos Valley call for when a 20 yard would mean three swaps instead of one.
The 30 yard is about volume, not weight. Its tall walls are made for high-volume, lighter debris: framing lumber, drywall, cardboard, demolition material, and large roofing jobs. For dense debris like concrete, brick, or dirt, a 10 or 20 yard is usually the smarter call — you’ll reach the weight limit long before you fill a 30, so the extra capacity goes to waste.
What the 30 Yard Dumpster Is Best For
- Large construction or new build — framing, sheathing, and jobsite debris
- Full home tear-out or demolition — gut renovations and structure debris
- Commercial build-out or renovation — retail, office, and restaurant projects
- Multi-layer or large roof tear-off — when a 20 yard runs short
- Major estate or property cleanout — whole-property clears in one container
Dimensions and Capacity
The 30 yard measures roughly 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet tall. It holds about twelve pickup truck loads and includes 3–4 tons of disposal in the flat rate. The footprint matches the 20 yard — same length, taller walls — so it fits the same delivery space while nearly doubling the volume.
What You Can and Can’t Put In
The 30 yard handles the full range of construction and demolition debris: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, fixtures, cabinetry, and general jobsite waste. The prohibited list stands — hazardous materials, wet paint, tires, batteries, refrigerant appliances, and electronics. For commercial accounts, ask about recurring placement and bulk pricing when you book.
What a 30 Yard Dumpster Costs
The 30 yard is a flat rate: delivery, pickup, rental period, and included tonnage in one price, with no trip charge or fuel surcharge. Weight over the included tonnage is billed at the landfill’s posted per-ton rate, itemized and never marked up. For contractors running multiple jobs, we set up recurring service and bulk pricing — call (877) 779-2783 to talk it through.
Not the Right Size?
For most roofing and whole-house jobs, the 20 yard dumpster is the standard pick. Heavy debris like concrete or dirt usually belongs in a 10 yard dumpster to avoid paying for unused volume. Compare all four on our dumpster sizes guide.
