Pricing
Our 30 Yard Dumpster starts at $665 and includes up to 7 rental days. This pricing also has 2 tonnage included.
Size
Our 30 yard dumpster measures roughly 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 72 inches (6 feet) tall. The taller walls give it the volume to handle bulky renovation and demolition waste without filling up after a single room. The footprint is similar to a 20 yard container, so it fits most residential driveways and standard job sites, but you get noticeably more room. For a tight space in an older Buffalo or Lockport neighborhood, let us know at booking and we will confirm clearance first.
Delivery
Driveway protection is used on every delivery, and all of our dumpsters have a back door that opens so you can walk heavy items in rather than lifting them over the wall. Because we are local, most deliveries arrive within one business day of booking, and you deal with the same team from the first call to pickup.
Capabilities
A 30 yard roll-off holds approximately 9 to 12 full-sized pickup truck loads of debris, about 30 cubic yards. With its larger capacity, the 30 yard cuts down on the number of hauls you need, saving time and money in the long run. It is the step up from a 20 yard when the debris will run heavy or high in volume, and a step down from a 40 yard when you do not need that much space.
Why Choose a 30-Yard Dumpster?
The 30 yard is built for serious jobs and hits the sweet spot for a wide range of Western New York projects. It is best suited for:
- Large Renovations: entire-home remodels and major kitchen or basement overhauls generating drywall, flooring, cabinetry, plaster, and fixtures.
- New Construction: room for framing scraps, drywall, flooring, packaging, and mixed build debris.
- Estate Cleanouts: furniture, appliances, and decades of accumulated household items.
- Commercial Projects: office cleanouts, retail build-outs, and similar mixed renovation waste.
- Roofing Tear-Offs: shingles, underlayment, and decking from larger homes or multi-layer roof removals.
When your project is too much for a 20 yard but does not quite require the largest option, the 30 yard is a great fit. For roofing crews and remodelers running back-to-back jobs around Buffalo and Niagara County, the 30 yard is often the default order, and we offer swap-out scheduling so a fresh container is staged before the current one fills.
A Reliable Choice for Contractors and Homeowners
With its larger capacity, the 30 yard dumpster cuts down on the number of hauls you will need, saving time and money in the long run. Despite its size, it is still designed to be placed in most driveways or job sites, giving you convenience along with plenty of room to move around. The region’s older housing stock sends a lot of our 30 yard rentals to heavy renovation and cleanout work: plaster and lath, cast iron fixtures, masonry, and full furniture sets. Nick Stanton and the Wasteaway team have built a strong local reputation by keeping it straightforward: deliver the right size, communicate clearly, and pick up promptly when you call.
What Cannot Go in a 30 Yard Dumpster
Roll-off dumpsters are built for construction debris, renovation waste, household junk, and most general materials. A few categories are prohibited under New York and Erie County disposal rules, and keeping them out avoids extra fees:
- Hazardous materials: asbestos, paint, solvents, oil, chemicals, and propane tanks
- Refrigerants and appliances containing them, such as refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners, unless arranged separately
- Tires, wet paint, and liquids of any kind
- Electronics and batteries, which New York steers toward dedicated recycling streams
- Medical or biohazard waste
Heavy materials such as concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt are often allowed but carry weight considerations, so they may be better suited to a dedicated container. When in doubt, call (716) 344-0135 before you load and we will tell you exactly what is allowed so there are no surprises at pickup.
Clear Pricing, Flexible Service
At Wasteaway, we make renting easy. All dumpsters have a back door that opens, and driveway protection is used on every delivery. We offer straightforward, transparent rates with no hidden fees, and flexible rental periods so you can keep the container as long as your project requires. As a dependable local service based in Buffalo, we are committed to quick turnaround.
If your project generates more debris than expected, we will discuss your options with you directly rather than springing a charge after the fact. Need a longer rental window? Tell us at booking. For a flat-rate quote on a 30 yard dumpster, call (716) 344-0135 or request a quote online.
How the 30 Yard Compares to Other Sizes
Wasteaway stocks three roll-off sizes so you can match the container to your project and avoid paying for space you will not use. The 20 yard holds roughly 6 pickup truck loads and is the right fit for single-room renovations, flooring replacement, smaller roofing jobs, and garage or basement cleanouts. The 30 yard holds roughly 9 to 12 pickup truck loads and is the reliable middle size for full-home renovations, larger roofing tear-offs, estate cleanouts, and active contractor sites. The 40 yard holds roughly 12 or more pickup truck loads and is the largest roll-off we deliver, built for large-scale construction and demolition and high-volume commercial work. Not sure whether a 30 yard is the right call? Call (716) 344-0135 and we will walk through your project before you book.
