30 Cubic Yards
30 Yard Dumpster Rental in Tallahassee, FL
Serious capacity for a whole-house renovation, a commercial cleanout, or a new-construction jobsite that generates more debris than a residential-scale box can hold.

The 30 yard is RH Dumpster Rental Tallahassee's heavy-duty size, at roughly 22 ft long by 7.5 ft wide by 6 ft tall and holding about 9 pickup-truck loads. It steps up from the 20 yard in height rather than footprint, which matters on new-construction sites and commercial properties across growing corridors like Bradfordville, where framing offcuts, packaging, and mixed trade debris pile up fast and a taller box means fewer swap-outs to keep the schedule moving.
Weight allowance runs 4–5 tons, built for whole-house renovation debris, commercial tenant buildouts, and new-build construction waste. Call (850) 900-8684 and describe your project, and we'll confirm the 30 yard is the right fit — or whether a multi-dumpster rotation makes more sense for a longer jobsite.
What fits in a 30 yard dumpster
- Whole-house renovation or major addition
- Commercial property cleanout
- New-construction framing and build debris
- Multi-room gut renovation
- Large-scale landscaping or land-clearing debris
- Major storm-damage cleanup
- Office or retail buildout debris
- Large estate or hoarding cleanout
Best Fit: Whole-House Projects and Commercial Jobs
A gut renovation touching every room, a commercial property cleanout, or a multi-trade jobsite generates volume a residential-scale box can't keep up with — the 30 yard's extra height means fewer swap-outs and less downtime waiting on a pickup. See our construction dumpster rental and commercial dumpster rental pages for how we set up ongoing service for longer jobs.
New-Construction Debris
Framing offcuts, packaging, drywall scrap, and general build waste add up quickly on a new-construction site, and Tallahassee's growth corridors — Bradfordville among them — keep our 30 yards busy on exactly that kind of job. We can set up a single container with scheduled swap-outs or run several boxes on a larger site — call us to talk through the timeline.
30 Yard vs. 40 Yard
If your project is a major demolition, a large commercial fit-out, or a jobsite generating more debris than a single 30 yard can hold between pickups, the 40 yard gives you our full capacity. Unsure which fits your job? Call (850) 900-8684 and describe the scope — this is what we help contractors figure out every day.
What Doesn't Fit and Weight Considerations
The 4–5 ton allowance handles most whole-house and commercial debris comfortably, but concrete, brick, and full pallets of shingles can push toward that ceiling on a large job — let us know the mix when you book, or ask about our concrete & heavy debris service for a dedicated heavy box. Florida law — Fla. Stat. § 403.7192(3)(b) — bars rechargeable batteries from the regular trash statewide; the Leon County Hazardous Waste Center at 7550 Apalachee Parkway takes batteries and electronics free of charge. Asbestos, wet paint, propane tanks, and other hazardous materials are never permitted in any container. See our what can go in a dumpster in Florida guide for the full list.
Local fit
The 30 yard in Tallahassee driveways
The 30 yard is a regular call on Tallahassee's larger renovation and commercial jobs, and on the new-construction sites moving into growth areas like Bradfordville. It's also the size we recommend most often for major post-storm cleanup — Hurricane Hermine's September 2016 pass through Tallahassee left downed trees and structural debris across Leon County on a scale that outpaced smaller boxes for a lot of households. Placement on private property typically doesn't require a permit anywhere in our service area. For street placement inside Tallahassee city limits, the City's Traffic Engineering Section handles it; call us or the City to confirm current requirements before booking. Out in unincorporated Leon County, Leon County Public Works/Engineering Services handles it instead, and Crawfordville, Midway, Quincy, Havana, and Monticello each run their own separate town process.

30 Yard dumpster questions
How many pickup-truck loads does a 30 yard hold?
About 9 pickup-truck loads of debris.
What's the weight limit on a 30 yard dumpster?
4–5 tons, which covers most whole-house renovations, commercial cleanouts, and new-construction debris comfortably.
Is the 30 yard right for a new-construction site?
Yes — it's one of our most common sizes for new-build framing and general construction debris, especially on growing corridors like Bradfordville. We can also set up scheduled swap-outs for a longer job. Call (850) 900-8684 to talk through your timeline.
Can a 30 yard handle a commercial cleanout?
Yes — property managers and businesses across greater Tallahassee use the 30 yard regularly for tenant buildouts, office cleanouts, and retail turnovers. See our commercial dumpster rental page for more.
Do I need a permit for a 30 yard dumpster in Tallahassee?
Not if it sits entirely on private property. A permit only applies for street placement, and inside Tallahassee city limits that runs through the City's Traffic Engineering Section — call us and we'll help confirm requirements for your address.
Will a 30 yard fit on a residential driveway?
In most cases, yes, though it's taller than a 20 yard at roughly 6 ft — at 22 ft x 7.5 ft x 6 ft it has the same footprint as our 20 yard, just more height. Call (850) 900-8684 to confirm your specific space and any overhead clearance.
What does a 30 yard cost?
RH Dumpster Rental Tallahassee quotes a flat rate over the phone based on your project and location — see our dumpster rental cost guide for what factors in, or call (850) 900-8684 for a quote.
