When tackling large-scale cleanouts, construction projects, or major renovations, having the right waste disposal solution is crucial. For many commercial contractors, property managers, and homeowners, the 30 yard dumpster is the go-to choice for its balance of capacity and practicality. Liberty Hauling Services is proud to offer this versatile size to meet your project’s most demanding debris management needs. This guide explores the dimensions, capacity, uses, and key considerations for renting a 30 yard dumpster.
The 30 yard dumpster is a rectangular roll-off container designed for maximum efficiency in waste removal. While there can be slight variations depending on the manufacturer, the most common dimensions are:
: 22 feet
: 8 feet
: 6 feet
This size allows the dumpster to fit comfortably in most driveways, job sites, or commercial lots without excessive space requirements.
| Dimension | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Length | 22 feet |
| Width | 8 feet |
| Height | 6 feet |
It’s important to note that some providers may offer dumpsters with minor differences in width or height (for example, 7.5 feet wide or 5 feet tall), but the total interior volume will always be 30 cubic yards. Liberty Hauling Services ensures our 30 yard dumpsters adhere to industry-standard dimensions, making planning and placement straightforward for our clients.
The “30 yard” designation refers to the container’s volume—specifically, 30 cubic yards. To put this in perspective:
This translates to a substantial amount of waste:
: 9–12 pickup truck loads
: 170–200 contractor-grade (33-gallon) trash bags
: 7,000–10,000 pounds (3.5–5 tons), depending on the type of debris and local regulations
This generous capacity makes the 30 yard dumpster ideal for projects that generate significant amounts of bulky or heavy waste.
Liberty Hauling Services recommends the 30 yard dumpster for a wide range of large-scale projects, including:
: Gutting multiple rooms, whole-house remodels, or large kitchen/bathroom renovations.
: New home builds, commercial construction, demolition, and roofing jobs over 2,400 sq ft1.
