30 Yard Dumpster Rental in Shreveport

The 30-yard is where our lineup moves into serious volume: 22 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, and 6 ft tall — the same footprint as our 20-yard but with 18 more inches of height, which adds up to significantly more room without needing more driveway space. It's the size we recommend for whole-house projects, commercial cleanouts, and new-build construction debris.

It holds about 9 pickup-truck loads — 170 to 190 trash bags — with a 4 to 5 ton weight allowance, enough for large-scale renovation or construction debris without needing a mid-job swap. Contractors managing multi-room remodels or new construction sites are frequent renters of this size.

As with every size besides the 10-yard, we quote the 30-yard on the phone based on the specifics of your project, but pricing stays flat rate throughout — delivery, rental period, tonnage allowance, and pickup all in one number. Call (318) 616-9108, or see our full size lineup to compare against a 20 or 40-yard.

Dimensions & Capacity Explained

At 22 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, and 6 ft tall, the 30-yard shares its length and width with our 20-yard but stands 18 inches taller, which meaningfully increases usable volume without asking for more space to place it. It holds around 9 pickup-truck loads, or 170 to 190 trash bags, with a 4 to 5 ton weight allowance.

The added height does mean loading over the side becomes harder for bulky items without a ramp or lift, so it's worth planning for that on larger jobs. If you're deciding between this and the 20-yard, the 30 makes sense once your project spans the whole house or involves genuine construction-scale debris.

What Fits in a 30-Yard Dumpster

Whole-house renovation and demolition debris, commercial building cleanouts, new-construction waste, large roofing jobs with multiple tear-off layers, and multi-unit property cleanouts all fit well. It's also a common choice for bigger outbuilding or garage demolition projects that outgrow a 20-yard.

For material that's dense rather than bulky — straight concrete, brick, or fill dirt — a 30-yard is often more volume than you need, since that kind of material hits the tonnage limit long before the box fills up. Our services page covers that distinction in more detail.

Who the 30-Yard Is For

The 30-yard is aimed at contractors and homeowners with large-scale projects — a whole-house gut renovation, a new build generating construction waste, or a commercial space cleanout. It's also a good fit for property managers clearing out a multi-unit building between tenants.

If your project is contained to one or two rooms, a 20-yard is likely enough and easier to place. If you're dealing with major demolition volume or a large commercial site, our 40-yard is worth a look instead.

Cost Factors for a 30-Yard Rental

We quote the 30-yard by phone based on your project's scope and material mix, since large jobs vary more than smaller ones. Pricing remains flat rate — delivery, your 3 to 7 day rental period, tonnage allowance, and pickup are all included in the quote, with no fuel or environmental surcharge added afterward.

Weight and material type drive most of the variation — construction debris, roofing material, and mixed renovation waste all carry different tonnage profiles — along with distance from our Kirby Plaza yard. Call (318) 616-9108 with your project details, or see our pricing guide for general cost factors.

Delivery & Placement Notes

We need about 60 ft of clear space for the truck to back in and roughly 25 ft of overhead clearance to drop the container, plus a flat, hard surface — a paved lot or wide driveway works well for this size. Given the added height, make sure loading access — a ramp, lift, or elevated staging area — is planned for bulky material before delivery.

If placement needs to happen in the street or another public right-of-way instead of on private property, that requires a permit from the City of Shreveport's Engineering Permits department — reach out to them directly to confirm current fees and requirements. Most 30-yard deliveries for larger residential or commercial projects work fine on-site.
