The 30 yard dumpster is where our lineup moves from residential-scale to job-site-scale. It’s the size we deliver most for whole-house renovations that involve more than a couple of rooms, commercial and multi-unit property cleanouts, and new-build construction that generates debris by the pallet-load rather than the room-load. It needs real space to sit, so we always talk through your site before it shows up.
What fits in a 30 yard dumpster
- About 22 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 6 feet tall
- Holds the equivalent of about 9 pickup-truck loads
- Rated for 4 to 5 tons
- Standard size for contractors working whole-house renovations
- A regular fit for commercial and multi-unit property cleanouts
- Handles framing, drywall and packaging debris from new construction
- Requires more clear driveway or lot space than our 10 through 20 yard boxes
- Booked frequently for demolition debris and major structural teardown work
What a 30 Yard Dumpster Is Built For
At 30 yards, the container is sized for job-site volume:
- Whole-house renovations spanning most of the home
- Commercial property cleanouts and turnovers
- New-build construction debris — framing offcuts, drywall, packaging
- Structural demolition and teardown projects
- Multi-unit or rental property cleanouts between tenants
If the job is mostly heavy, dense debris — concrete, brick, dirt — the 30 yard can hit its weight limit before it’s anywhere near full. Our concrete & heavy debris service can point you to a better-suited size for that kind of load.
Weight Limits for Larger Jobs
A 4 to 5 ton weight allowance covers a lot of ground on construction and demolition debris, but it’s worth planning around if your job mixes light and heavy material. Framing lumber, drywall and general job-site debris fill the box’s volume well before the weight limit becomes a factor. Concrete, roofing shingles and dirt work the other way — they max out the tonnage fast. If your project is a mix, tell us the rough split when you book so pricing doesn’t come as a surprise at pickup.
Space and Placement for a 30 Yard Box
This is a large container, and it needs a clear, level spot with enough length and width to land safely — longer than what a 10 or 15 yard box requires. Overhead clearance matters too, particularly on older Mobile properties with mature trees or lower power lines. Walk us through your site layout when you book and we’ll confirm placement works before the truck heads out from Saint Stephens Road.

Local fit
The 30 yard in Mobile driveways
Hawthorne Bros Dumpster Rental delivers the 30 yard dumpster to job sites across Mobile, AL and all of Mobile County. Given its size, this container almost always needs to sit on a driveway, lot or job site rather than a public street. Mobile sits on sandy, high-water-table soil and sees a lot of rain over the course of a year, so a level, well-drained placement spot matters more with a box this size — let us know your site conditions when you book and we’ll make sure it’s a safe fit.

30 Yard dumpster questions
Is a 30 yard dumpster too big for a residential job?
Not necessarily. It’s common for whole-house renovations, major demolition, or a residential job that’s producing job-site-level volume. If your project is smaller, the 20 yard is usually a better fit and easier to place.
How much space does a 30 yard dumpster need?
More than our 10 through 20 yard boxes — a clear, level stretch of driveway or lot with good overhead clearance. Tell us your site layout when you call and we’ll confirm it works.
Can a 30 yard dumpster handle concrete or dirt?
In smaller amounts, yes, but dense material like concrete hits the 4 to 5 ton weight limit fast. For a job that’s mostly concrete or dirt, a smaller, weight-focused container is often more cost-effective.
Do you deliver 30 yard dumpsters to commercial job sites in Mobile County?
Yes, throughout Mobile and the surrounding towns we serve. Call (251) 318-8799 to discuss scheduling for ongoing or multi-site projects.
What does a 30 yard dumpster rental cost?
It depends on rental length, debris type and site location. Call (251) 318-8799 for a straight quote or reach out through our contact page.
