The 30 yard container in Bentonville, AR
The 30-yard shares its 22-foot footprint with the 20-yard but stands 6 feet tall instead of 4.5, adding volume without asking for more driveway. It's built for jobs that generate a lot of bulky, lower-density debris — framing scraps, drywall, packaging, old furniture — across a whole house or a large addition.
The flat rate includes 3-4 tons along with delivery, the rental period, and pickup. That's a meaningful step up from the 20-yard's 2-3 tons, but the added height matters most for volume, not weight — dense material still caps out fast regardless of how tall the box is.

Where a 30-Yard Makes Sense
Figure 9 to 12 pickup loads of capacity — this is a whole-project size, not a single-room one:
- Whole-home renovation spanning several rooms
- Large estate cleanout
- New-construction framing and packaging waste
- Commercial buildout debris
- Large single-layer roof tear-off
- Combined fence, deck, and shed demolition
If your project is mostly heavy material — a concrete slab, a full masonry demolition — the extra height here goes to waste; see the note on weight below, and consider whether the 20-yard or a dedicated concrete and heavy debris setup fits better.
Why the Weight Limit, Not the Height, Governs Heavy Loads
Broken concrete, brick, or block runs 3,000-4,000 lb per cubic yard, so the 3-4 ton allowance caps out at roughly 1.5 to 2.7 cubic yards — about 3 to 5 inches deep across the 22-foot floor. That's a small fraction of the container's total volume, meaning most of the 6-foot height sits unused on a concrete-only load. Dry soil at roughly 2,000 lb per cubic yard runs about 3 to 4 cubic yards for the same weight range — still well short of a filled box.
For roofing, three-tab shingles at 230-250 lb per square put 3-4 tons at roughly 24 to 35 squares; heavier architectural shingles at 350-430 lb per square bring that to roughly 14 to 23 squares. See the roof tear-off dumpster guide for more on sizing a tear-off correctly.
Driveway Access and New-Construction Delivery
Plan on about 34 feet of clear, level run and 23 to 25 feet of overhead clearance. On active construction sites, that usually means placing the container on a compacted gravel pad rather than finished driveway or turf, both to protect the surface and to keep the truck's approach solid in wet weather. Confirm the placement spot and site access with the crew before delivery day.
Capacity
What actually fits in a 30 yard container
Rough working figures. Weight, not volume, is what stops most loads.
| Material | How much fits |
|---|---|
| Broken concrete, brick, or block | About 1.5 to 2.7 cubic yards — roughly 3 to 5 inches deep across the floor — before the 3-4 ton limit is reached |
| Three-tab asphalt shingles, single-layer tear-off | Roughly 24 to 35 squares (2,400-3,500 sq ft of roof) at 230-250 lb per square |
| Architectural or laminated shingles | Roughly 14 to 23 squares at 350-430 lb per square |
| Dry soil or dirt | About 3 to 4 cubic yards at roughly 2,000 lb per cubic yard |
| Household junk, furniture, and framing scraps, mixed | Fills by volume well before the weight limit — figure the full 9-12 pickup loads |
| Whole-home renovation debris (multiple rooms) | Typically the full 9-12 pickup loads |
Suitability
Is the 30 yard the right size for you?
Choose the 30 yard for
- Whole-home renovation across multiple rooms
- Large estate cleanout
- New-construction framing and packaging waste
- Commercial buildout debris
- Large single-layer roof tear-off
- Combined fence, deck, and shed demolition
- Big storm debris cleanup
- Major pre-move decluttering
Pick a different size for
- Loads that are mostly concrete, brick, block, or dirt (weight-limited well before the box fills)
- Single-room remodels better sized to a 15- or 20-yard
- Driveways that can't clear the ~34 ft run
- Small single-trade tear-outs
- Jobs where the 20-yard's lower 4.5 ft wall is easier to load without a ramp
Placing a 30 yard container on a Bentonville-area property
On new-construction sites around Centerton, Bella Vista, and the growing subdivisions south of Bentonville, the 30-yard typically sits on a graded gravel pad near the build rather than finished pavement — that keeps the ~34 ft clear run solid for the delivery truck even after a rain, which matters on the area's clay-heavy soil. For an occupied home, check that the driveway or street placement leaves the required overhead clearance clear of any low utility lines before booking.

Answers
30 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
How much does a 30-yard dumpster hold?
<p>About 9 to 12 pickup truck loads, with 3-4 tons of weight included — sized for whole-home renovations, large cleanouts, and new-construction debris.</p>
Can I fill a 30-yard dumpster with concrete?
<p>Not to the top. At 3,000-4,000 lb per cubic yard, the 3-4 ton limit caps concrete at roughly 1.5 to 2.7 cubic yards — a few inches across the floor. For a mostly-concrete job, call to talk through the right container.</p>
How much driveway space does a 30-yard dumpster need?
<p>About 34 feet of clear, level run and 23-25 feet of overhead clearance — the same footprint as the 20-yard, since both share a 22-foot length.</p>
Is the 30-yard the right size for a whole-house renovation?
<p>For most whole-home jobs, yes, especially when the debris is bulky and lower-density — drywall, flooring, cabinetry, framing. If the project also includes a lot of concrete or masonry, call (479) 364-6780 to talk through whether a second, smaller container makes more sense for the heavy material.</p>
Can a 30-yard go on a new-construction gravel pad?
<p>Yes — that's a common placement on active build sites. Just confirm the pad is graded and accessible for the delivery truck's approach and the ~34 ft clear run.</p>
