How big is a 30 yard dumpster?
The 30 yard dumpster dimensions run 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and about 6 feet tall, and these 30 yard dumpster measurements hold roughly 9 to 12 pickup truck loads of material, which puts it above a 20 yard dumpster rental and below a 40 yard dumpster rental in capacity. If you are not sure where 30 yards lands, check dumpster sizes and dimensions before you commit. Modesto Porta Pros still recommends a walk-around before delivery because fences, low branches and parked cars around a Modesto driveway can shrink the actual drop zone fast. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set the container down safely, so tight lots or shared alleys sometimes call for a smaller box instead. We will ask about your access when you request a quote, and we can talk through swap timing if the project runs long. For anyone comparing container types before deciding, storage container rental is a different product entirely, built for holding goods rather than hauling debris.
What does a 30 yard dumpster rental cost in Modesto?
Pricing depends on how long you keep the box and what goes in it. If you are searching 30 yard dumpster rental prices near me, here is the current range for 30 yard containers, drawn from measured rental data:
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| Weekend | $390 | $440 | $497 |
| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Delivery is usually billed separately, ranging from about $50 for a weekly drop to $500 for jobs needing faster or after-hours service. For a fuller breakdown across sizes, see dumpster rental cost or compare day rates specifically. Weight matters too: overloading a 30 yard box past its rated limit adds fees, so check dumpster weight limits before you load shingles, concrete or dirt. Certain materials are barred outright regardless of size; what cannot go in a dumpster covers paints, tires and hazardous waste that need separate disposal.
Do I need a permit for a 30 yard dumpster in Modesto?
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or curb strip rather than your own driveway, needs confirming with the City of Modesto before delivery. We have not verified a specific fee or ordinance number for this, so do not take a guess from us as gospel. If the container sits entirely on private property, driveway or yard, most jobs skip the permit question altogether. Read dumpster permit requirements for the general logic, and call the city directly if your job in Modesto or nearby Ceres, 4.1 miles southeast, will block a lane or sidewalk. Construction crews juggling a dumpster alongside portable toilets and fencing should look at construction site services for how those pieces fit together. Contractors working larger sites in Riverbank, 8.8 miles northeast, run into the same right-of-way question and the answer is the same: ask first.
How long can I keep a 30 yard dumpster?
Most rentals run from a single day up through a month, based on the pricing table above. Weekly rentals are the most common choice for renovation and cleanout jobs. Ask about extending the rental before your date if the project runs behind; swaps and extensions are easier to arrange ahead of time than at pickup.
What can go in a 30 yard dumpster?
Household junk, wood, drywall, roofing debris and general construction waste all fit. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt and shingles count against your weight limit fast, even with room left in the box. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before loading anything questionable, since banned items can hold up pickup.
Is a 30 yard dumpster too big for a home project?
Sometimes. A full kitchen gut or whole-house cleanout uses the space, but a single-room renovation often fits a 10 yard dumpster rental instead. For home projects specifically, home renovation porta potty covers what else a renovation crew typically needs onsite.
How much clearance does delivery need?
About 60 feet of straight space behind the truck, plus overhead clearance for the lift arm. Driveways with low trees, gates or tight turns in older Modesto neighborhoods sometimes need a different placement spot, so mention obstacles when you book.
Can I rent a dumpster and a portable toilet together?
Yes, and most construction crews do exactly that. Pair your container with a standard porta potty rental or check construction site services for bundled delivery across Modesto and nearby Bystrom, 2.2 miles southeast.
