30 Yard Dumpster Rental in Greenville, SC

A 30 yard dumpster is the workhorse for builders, big remodels and whole-house cleanouts. It holds about twice what a 15 yard does.

How big is a 30 yard dumpster?

A 30 yard dumpster is roughly 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 6 feet tall. It holds about 30 cubic yards, or 9 to 12 pickup loads. The tall walls mean you'll want a door on the back or a ramp for loading heavy furniture. Most 30 yard roll-offs have a swinging rear door for walk-in loading.

Best uses for a 30 yard dumpster

• New home construction framing scrap, packaging and drywall offcuts
• Major remodels like a gutted kitchen plus bathrooms, or an addition
• Whole-house and estate cleanouts with years of stored belongings
• Commercial cleanouts of offices, retail spaces and warehouses
• Large roofs on bigger homes, when weight is planned for

For contractors and builders

Greenville County continues to add new subdivisions in places like Simpsonville, Five Forks and Greer, and builders there need dependable swaps. When you call, ask about:

• Swap-outs: pickup of a full dumpster and drop of an empty one in the same trip
• Standing orders for weekly swaps across a build
• Billing to your company with net terms
• Job-site placement on unpaved lots, including what the truck can drive on after rain

Weight limits on a 30 yard

A 30 yard dumpster has more room, but its weight limit doesn't grow as fast as its volume. A 30 full of shingles or wet debris can easily go over. For heavy materials, a smaller container or two loads is often the cheaper choice. Your provider can tell you the included tonnage and the per-ton rate above it.

Will a 30 yard fit at my house?

Most driveways that fit a 20 yard also fit a 30, since they're usually the same length. The difference is height. Check for low wires, gutters and tree limbs. The truck needs about 60 feet of straight approach to set the dumpster.

What does a 30 yard dumpster cost?

A 30 yard costs more than a 20, but often less per cubic yard. If you're on the fence between a 20 with an extra haul and a single 30, the 30 usually wins. Ask for the full price including delivery, pickup, disposal and included weight. Our price guide explains common fees.

30 yard vs. two smaller dumpsters

For a long project, two 15 or 20 yard dumpsters in a row can make sense. You keep a smaller box in the driveway, and the first one gets hauled before it attracts extra junk. For a fast, high-volume job like a one-weekend estate cleanout or a framing phase, one 30 yard is usually simpler and cheaper. Tell the provider your timeline and they'll help you choose.
