The 30 yard container in Arvada, CO
The 30 yard dumpster keeps the same 22 by 7.5 foot base as our 20 yard container but stands 18 inches taller, which adds roughly 9 pickup truck loads worth of extra capacity without asking for any more driveway room. That makes it a natural fit for larger construction projects, home additions, and full demolition debris removal jobs around the Denver metro area, where the volume of material is high but the site footprint is still a standard residential or small commercial lot.
General contractors building additions, crews handling a full interior demolition down to the studs, and property owners clearing out an old outbuilding or detached garage all tend to land on this size. It's also common on jobs that mix material types, framing lumber alongside drywall and old flooring, since the higher walls make it easier to load bulky items without them tipping over the side.
Because weight adds up quickly with dense materials, it's worth a quick call to (720) 627-6880 before you book if your project includes a lot of concrete, brick, or tile. Our team can tell you whether the 30 yard's 4-5 ton allowance covers it or whether concrete and heavy debris service is a better fit.
Best Fit: Large Renovation and Demolition Jobs
This is the size we recommend most for home additions, full interior demolitions, and larger demolition debris removal projects where a 20 yard would fill up before the job wraps. It's also a solid choice for commercial buildouts that generate a high volume of lightweight material like drywall, insulation, and packaging.
Watch the Weight, Not the Volume
Because the 30 yard has so much room, it's easy to underestimate weight if you're loading dense material. Wet lumber, tile, and mixed demolition debris can hit the ton limit well before the container looks full. If your job leans heavy, ask us about pairing this size with our concrete and heavy debris guidance so you're not surprised by an overage charge.

Placing a 30 yard container on an Arvada-area property
Because the 30 yard shares its footprint with our 20 yard container, the same 25 feet of clear, level driveway or street space works for delivery. The main thing to plan for in Arvada is overhead clearance, at 6 feet tall this container clears most residential garage doors and tree branches, but if your property has low-hanging power lines or a covered carport entrance, mention it when you call (720) 627-6880 so our driver can plan the safest placement.

Answers
30 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
Does a 30 yard dumpster need a bigger driveway than a 20 yard?
No. Both containers are about 22 feet long and 7.5 feet wide, the 30 yard is just 18 inches taller. If a 20 yard fits your driveway, a 30 yard will too.
How much weight can I put in a 30 yard dumpster?
The base rental includes 4 to 5 tons. That covers most large renovation and demolition jobs, but dense materials like concrete, brick, or wet debris can reach that limit faster than the container looks full. Call (720) 627-6880 to talk through your specific materials.
Is a 30 yard dumpster too big for a home addition project?
Usually not, this is one of the most common sizes for room additions and larger remodels around the Denver metro area, since it handles framing, drywall, siding, and flooring debris from a multi-week project without needing a swap.
Can I fill a 30 yard dumpster with concrete or brick?
You can include some, but pure concrete, brick, or dirt is dense enough that it will hit the weight limit long before the container is visually full. For loads that are mostly heavy material, ask us about our concrete and heavy debris guidance so pricing matches the job.
