Is a 30-Yard the Right Size?

A 30-yard is right for

  • A new build or a large addition
  • A whole-house or estate cleanout
  • Commercial demolition and tear-out

A 30-yard is wrong for

  • A one-room job
  • Anything you could fit in a 15 or 20, the extra length is wasted on a small load

What a 30-Yard Dumpster Is Really For

The 30-yard is for jobs that fill dumpsters on volume: whole-house and estate cleanouts, new builds, big additions, commercial tear-outs. Furniture, cabinets, and construction debris take up room long before they reach the 3-ton limit, so the biggest dumpster is usually the cheapest way to haul them.

It's 22 feet long, the longest dumpster we run, so it needs a longer stretch of driveway or an open patch of the site. If you aren't sure it fits, tell us what you're working with when you book and the driver will find the spot.

Will a 30-Yard Fit in My Driveway?

The 30 needs planning. At 22 feet it takes most of a driveway, so clear the full stretch in front of the garage on delivery day. On job sites it's no issue, and that's where most 30s go.

What Fills a 30-Yard Before the Weight Does

Three tons is usually enough for a cleanout or a new build. Where a 30 runs heavy is a full gut job: plaster walls, wet carpet, layer after layer of flooring. Describe the job when you order and we'll tell you if the weight works.

Highly recommend renting a dumpster and purging your home of all of the excess junk that accumulates over the years. AMC is my go to for this. They are very responsive, reasonable and didn’t charge me for a slightly overweight dumpster.

30-Yard Dumpster Questions

What people ask us before they book. The full FAQ has the rest.

What are the dimensions of a 30-yard dumpster?

The 30-yard is 22 ft long, 8 ft wide, 5 ft tall. It holds about 12 pickup truck loads and includes 3 tons of weight.

What fits in a 30-yard dumpster?

The 30-yard is right for a new build or a large addition. If you're between sizes, go up one, it beats filling this one and renting twice.

How much does a 30-yard dumpster cost in Columbia?

There's no posted price list, but your exact 30-yard number is on the booking page, or call (803) 408-9990.

How long do I get the 30-yard for?

14 days on the rental. Estate cleanouts and new builds are the jobs most likely to need longer, and that's fine, tell us and the extra days get added as the job moves.

Where do you deliver 30-yard dumpsters?

Everywhere we run: Columbia, the Midlands, and out to Sumter, Florence, Aiken, and Greenville. No size is limited to certain towns. See the service areas.

Will a 30-yard dumpster fit in my driveway?

It needs room. At 22 ft long the 30 needs a long driveway or an open patch of the site. If you're not sure, send a photo when you book and we'll tell you what fits.

Can I put concrete or dirt in a 30-yard?

Heavy material like concrete and dirt belongs in a smaller dumpster priced for the weight, not the 30-yard. A quick call lines up the right one at the right rate.
