The 30 yard dumpster is about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet tall — the same footprint as our 20 yard but nearly a foot and a half taller, which brings capacity up to roughly 150 to 180 filled contractor bags. That added height is what makes this size work for new construction and major whole-property cleanouts, where volume adds up fast but driveway or lot space for the container itself is often limited.
We deliver a lot of these to new-construction sites on Lady's Island and out toward Okatie, where subdivision growth keeps builders and framing crews busy, and to properties doing a full whole-home cleanout or a major post-hurricane debris haul. If you're still weighing this against the 20 yard, our sizing guide has more detail, or just call (854) 212-5294 and tell us the scope.

Not sure? Call (854) 212-5294 and describe what you are looking at. We would rather sell you a smaller container than have you pay for space you do not use.
Capacity in real terms
How much actually fits
| What you're loading | How it fits in a 30 yard dumpster |
|---|---|
| Framing and packaging waste from new-home construction | Lumber offcuts and packaging nest efficiently in the extra height. |
| Whole-property hurricane debris | Downed trees, fencing, and storm-damaged material from a full lot. |
| A full-home gut renovation | Drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and fixtures from multiple rooms at once. |
| A large estate cleanout | Furniture and belongings from an entire multi-bedroom home. |
| Land-clearing debris ahead of a build | Brush, cleared vegetation, and small stump sections from a home site. |
| Combined roofing and siding tear-off | Shingles and siding panels from a full exterior renovation. |
What Fits in a 30 Yard Dumpster
At 150 to 180 bags, the 30 yard is built for volume rather than single-room jobs. It comfortably holds framing lumber and packaging waste from new-home construction, a full-home gut renovation across multiple rooms, or a whole-property cleanout where furniture and belongings from an entire house need to move at once. The extra height over the 20 yard means bulky items — full sheets of drywall, longer lumber, or large furniture pieces — load more efficiently without hanging over the rim.
The accepted-materials list is the same as every other size: wood, drywall, tile, flooring, furniture, household clutter, yard clippings and branches, roofing shingles, and small appliances are fine, while paint, solvents, oils, tires, batteries, hazardous chemicals, propane tanks, and medical waste are not. One thing worth flagging at this size specifically: dense material like concrete, brick, or masonry debris can hit the weight allowance well before the box looks full, so if that's a meaningful part of your job, check our concrete and heavy debris page or just mention it when you call (854) 212-5294.
New Construction on Lady's Island and Okatie
The growth corridor along Lady's Island and out toward Okatie and Bluffton has kept new residential construction steady in Beaufort County, and a 30 yard is the size we deliver most often to active build sites there. Framing offcuts, packaging from windows, doors, and fixtures, and general job-site waste all accumulate fast on a new build, and having one large container on site beats hauling smaller loads to the landfill throughout the build.
For ongoing construction projects, our construction dumpster rental service is built around exactly this — a container that stays on site for the length of a phase, with delivery to job sites, parking areas, and driveways across Bluffton and the surrounding growth areas. Before a large container goes in near existing utility lines on a new lot, it's worth having lines marked — SC811 handles utility locate requests statewide, free of charge, before any digging or heavy placement work begins.
Major Hurricane Debris and Whole-Property Cleanups
After a significant hurricane or tropical storm, some properties need more than a 20 yard can hold — multiple downed trees, extensive fence damage, or storm-surge-soaked belongings across a larger lot. The 30 yard gives enough capacity to clear a whole property in one container rather than scheduling multiple pickups during a period when demand across the Lowcountry is already high and every hauler in the county is booked out.
It's also the size we recommend for a full whole-home cleanout — clearing an entire house of furniture and belongings at once, whether that's ahead of a sale, following an estate situation, or as part of a major renovation that touches nearly every room. Our whole-home cleanout weekend plan lays out how to tackle a job like that efficiently over a single weekend rather than dragging it out over weeks. Whatever the trigger, call (854) 212-5294 and we'll confirm the 30 yard is the right call for your property before it's delivered, so you're not guessing on the day the truck shows up.
30 Yard or 40 Yard — Making the Call
The 30 and 40 yard share the same 22-by-8-foot footprint, so the decision usually comes down to volume rather than available space. If you're looking at a single new-construction phase, one whole-home cleanout, or a major storm cleanup on a standard residential lot, the 30 yard is typically enough and there's no benefit to paying for extra height you won't fill. If you're demolishing a structure, clearing a commercial site, or the project spans multiple buildings or a genuinely large lot, the 40 yard's extra 2 feet of height adds meaningful room without needing a second delivery partway through.
Access matters at this size too — both containers need a clear, level area roughly 22 feet long with overhead clearance for delivery. Sandy soil and a high water table near marsh-front properties can also affect where the driver places a fully loaded container. Call (854) 212-5294 and we'll talk through your site access along with the volume of the job, so the container that shows up actually fits both your driveway and your project.

Answers
30 Yard Dumpster — frequently asked questions
Is the 30 yard mainly for construction, or does it work for cleanouts too?
Both. It's our most common size for new-construction sites on Lady's Island and Okatie, but it's equally suited to a whole-home cleanout, a major hurricane debris haul, or a full-property renovation. The deciding factor is volume — if a project would fill more than one 20 yard, the 30 yard usually makes more sense than a second delivery.
How much space do I need for a 30 yard dumpster delivery?
Plan on a clear, level area roughly 22 feet long and 8 feet wide, plus overhead clearance for our delivery truck. Driveways, construction sites, and parking areas all work. Call (854) 212-5294 and describe your site — we can tell you quickly whether it's a straightforward drop or needs a bit of planning.
Does concrete or masonry debris fit in the weight allowance?
Small amounts are fine, but concrete, brick, and masonry are dense enough to hit a weight allowance well before the box looks full. If a meaningful part of your job is heavy debris like that, mention it when you call (854) 212-5294 — we may recommend pairing it with our concrete and heavy debris service instead.
Do I need a permit for a 30 yard dumpster on a new-construction lot?
Not on private property. If the container needs to sit on a public street or right-of-way, check with the City of Beaufort or Beaufort County on a temporary placement permit first. On an active build site, it's also worth having utility lines marked through SC811 before any digging near the placement area.
How long can I keep a 30 yard dumpster on a construction site?
The standard rental period is 7 days, but ongoing construction projects routinely need longer. Extensions are available on request — just call (854) 212-5294 and we'll work out a timeline that matches your build schedule, including scheduled swap-outs if the container fills before the phase wraps up, rather than forcing an awkward mid-phase gap.
