30 Yard Dumpster Rental Tacoma WA
When your project outgrows a mid-size dumpster but doesn’t require the largest bin we offer, the 30-yard roll-off dumpster is the perfect middle ground. It provides substantial capacity for multi-room renovations, estate cleanouts, commercial remodels, rental property turnovers, and light demolition—all while fitting comfortably on most Tacoma driveways and job sites.
What Is a 30-Yard Dumpster?
A 30-yard dumpster holds 30 cubic yards of debris—roughly 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 standard trash bags. It offers significantly more volume than a 20-yard dumpster without the oversized footprint of a 40-yard container.
Typical dimensions:
22′ L × 7.5′ W × 6′ H
Standard weight allowance: 4–5 tons (varies by debris type)
Placement: Fits most two-car driveways and works well in neighborhoods across Tacoma—North End, Hilltop, University Place, Midland, South Tacoma, and more.
Is a 30-Yard Dumpster Right for You?
Choose a 30-yard dumpster when you need volume for bulky items plus mixed renovation debris without jumping to industrial-scale capacity.
| Project Type | Common Debris | Why the 30-Yard Works |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-Room Renovations | Drywall, framing, cabinets, flooring | High volume + easy side loading |
| Estate / Move-Out Cleanouts | Furniture, mattresses, mixed junk | Great for bulky items + bagged debris |
| Retail & Office Remodels | Shelving, displays, partitions | Keeps commercial projects on schedule |
| Light Demolition | Fixtures, doors, windows | Handles mixed demo debris well |
| Community / HOA Cleanups | Bulk neighborhood waste | One bin supports many households |
Heavy debris like concrete, dirt, plaster, or brick?
A 30-yard can hit weight limits quickly. For dense materials, a 10-yard (or sometimes a 15-yard) is the safest and most cost-effective choice.

How Much Weight Can a 30-Yard Dumpster Hold?
Most 30-yard rentals include 4–5 tons. Although the container handles bulky debris well, you can reach the weight limit quickly with:
- Tile
- Plaster
- Roofing shingles
- Wet yard debris
- Concrete or soil
Tips to avoid overages:
- Plan based on weight, not just volume
- Load debris evenly from front to back
