How Big Is a 30 Yard Dumpster?
A 30 yard dumpster runs roughly 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 6 feet high, though exact 30 yard dumpster dimensions and 30 yard dumpster measurements shift slightly by manufacturer, so double check the 30 yard dumpster size against your driveway before booking. That footprint holds around 9 to 11 pickup truck loads, which makes it the right call for a full roof replacement, a large deck demo or clearing out a house before a move. If you are not sure this is the right container, our dumpster sizes and dimensions page walks through how a 30 yard roll-off dumpster rental compares against the 10, 20 and 40 yard options. Smaller jobs, like a single-room gut, usually do better with a 20 yard dumpster rental, and if you are just clearing a garage, a 10 yard dumpster rental is often plenty. Greeley Porta Pros delivers this size across Greeley and can talk through load estimates before the truck ever leaves the yard. Delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set the container down safely, so check your driveway or alley before booking.
What Does a 30 Yard Dumpster Cost in Greeley?
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $500 | $500 |
Delivery is billed separately in most cases, and that fee typically runs $100 to $150 for a weekly rental window. Weekend delivery runs higher, closer to $200 to $540, since it competes with weekday scheduling. For a full breakdown of what drives the number up or down, see our dumpster rental cost guide. If your project runs longer than expected, ask about extending rather than reordering. Renters comparing sizes often end up on the 30 yard dumpster rental page after starting on roll-off dumpster rental, which covers the whole lineup including the 40 yard dumpster rental for the biggest teardown jobs.
Can I Put Anything in a 30 Yard Dumpster?
No. Most residential debris, wood, drywall, flooring and roofing shingles are fine, but paint cans, tires, batteries and anything flagged as hazardous waste is not. Our what cannot go in a dumpster page lists the specifics, and it is worth a read before loading starts, because overage and contamination fees add up fast. There are also dumpster weight limits tied to the container size, and a 30 yard box loaded with heavy material like shingles or concrete can hit that ceiling before it looks full. If your project sits within Greeley city limits, confirm placement rules through dumpster permit requirements, since containers placed in the right of way often need sign-off from the city. For active job sites running crews daily, pair the dumpster with construction dumpster rental planning and make sure you have covered construction site services like fencing and toilets too.
Frequently asked questions
How long can I keep a 30 yard dumpster?
Most rentals run by the week, but daily and monthly terms are available too. If your job stretches past the agreed window, call before the deadline. Extending is usually simpler than the swap-and-reorder route, and it avoids a late fee showing up on the invoice.
Do I need a permit for a 30 yard dumpster in Greeley?
It depends on where the container sits. Placement on your own driveway is usually fine, but placement in the street or right of way needs confirming with the City of Greeley. Check dumpster permit requirements before delivery day to avoid a last-minute reschedule.
How much clearance does delivery need?
Roughly 60 feet of straight space behind the truck, plus overhead clearance for wires or low branches. Tight alleys or shared driveways in older Greeley neighborhoods sometimes need a site check first. Call ahead if your access looks narrow.
What is the difference between 20 and 30 yard dumpsters?
A 20 yard dumpster suits single-room projects; a 30 yard handles whole-house cleanouts and roofing jobs. The 30 yard is longer and taller, holding roughly 50 percent more debris. See dumpster sizes and dimensions for a side-by-side.
