How Big Is a 30 Yard Dumpster?
Picture a 30 yard roll off dumpster about 22 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 6 feet tall; those 30 yard dumpster dimensions and this 30 yard dumpster size are what most crews mean when they ask for 30 yard dumpster measurements. That footprint holds enough volume for a full kitchen gut job, a mid-size deck removal, or several rooms of flooring and drywall. If you are unsure whether 30 yards is overkill for your project, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page breaks down how this size stacks against the 10 yard, 20 yard and 40 yard options. A rule worth knowing: this class of container needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the delivery truck, so measure your driveway or street frontage in Clovis before scheduling drop-off, and if you are running a jobsite with a crew, pair the order with construction site services like fencing or a handwashing station. Tight lots near Old Fig Garden or Tarpey Village, 3.3 miles south, sometimes need street placement instead. Weight matters too. Roofing debris and concrete pack dense, and going over your contracted weight brings extra charges, which the dumpster weight limits page explains in more detail. Before you load anything, check what cannot go in a dumpster, since paint, batteries and tires are common rejects that stall pickup day, and if the same jobsite needs a toilet, our portable toilet rental page covers that side of the order.
What Does a 30 Yard Dumpster Rental Cost in Clovis?
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | 51 | 75 | 112 |
| week | 426 | 600 | 778 |
| month | 91 | 108 | 500 |
Day rates apply when you only need the container onsite briefly between drop-off and pickup; week rates cover the standard rental window most renovation crews use for a 30 yard roll-off dumpster rental. A delivery fee, usually 50 to 150 dollars for a weekly rental, gets added on top, and that is separate from the dumpster rate itself. For a side-by-side on how this size compares to smaller bins over a full project timeline, the dumpster rental cost guide and roll-off dumpster rental page both walk through it. Contractors running multi-week jobs across Clovis and out toward Fort Washington, 8.0 miles northwest, often find the monthly rate cheaper per week than repeated short rentals, so ask about that option directly, and if you also need storage onsite, the storage container rental page lists monthly options too. If your project involves structural demolition or new construction rather than cleanup, look at construction dumpster rental for the service tier built around jobsite pace, and crews wanting to rent a 30 yard dumpster alongside site fencing can check temporary fence rental for the same delivery window.
Do I Need a Permit for a 30 Yard Dumpster in Clovis?
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or curb rather than your driveway, needs confirming with the City of Clovis before delivery. Rules vary by street type and by how long the container sits, and we have not verified a specific fee or ordinance number here, so do not assume any figure until the city confirms it. The dumpster permit requirements page covers what to ask when you call, and the general porta potty permit requirements guide walks through similar right-of-way questions if you are ordering both services. If your property line does not give you 60 feet of clearance, our crew can also advise placement options during the request a quote process. Jobs near Mayfair, 7.2 miles southwest, or Sanger, 16.1 miles southeast, sometimes fall under different frontage rules than central Clovis, so confirm before the truck rolls, and the service areas page lists coverage across those towns if you need a broader view.
How long can I keep a 30 yard dumpster?
Most rentals run by the week, matching the pricing table above, though day rates apply for short swaps. Extending a rental mid-job is usually simple; just call ahead so the schedule holds a spot for pickup.
What can't I put in a 30 yard dumpster?
Paint, solvents, batteries, tires and most hazardous liquids are excluded everywhere. See what cannot go in a dumpster for the full list before you start loading, since a rejected pickup costs time, and questions about septic waste specifically belong on the septic pumping service page instead.
How much clearance does delivery need?
Plan on roughly 60 feet of straight space behind where the truck parks. Overhead wires, low branches and narrow gates can also block delivery, so walk the site first.
Can I mix construction debris and household junk?
Usually yes, but weight limits still apply and dense material like concrete or shingles fills capacity fast. Check dumpster weight limits so you are not surprised by overage charges.
Is a smaller dumpster ever cheaper for the same job?
Sometimes. A 20 yard dumpster costs less but fills faster, meaning a second haul might cost more overall than one 30 yard container, so weigh it against a 40 yard storage container if you need holding space rather than disposal.
