30 Yard Dumpster Rental in Reno, NV

When you actually need 30 yards

The 30 yard is the same footprint as the 20 yard with taller walls, so it takes the same driveway space and holds roughly half again as much. That makes it the right choice whenever the limiting factor is volume rather than weight: bulky, light material that eats space fast.

Typical Reno jobs that call for it include whole house renovations, estate clearouts on properties that have been lived in for decades, commercial tenant improvements, apartment turnovers, large deck and outbuilding demolition, and new construction framing waste. If you are looking at a project and quietly wondering whether one 20 yard will be enough, it usually is not, and one 30 yard is cheaper than two 20s.

What fits

• A four or five bedroom house cleared of furniture, boxes and appliances
• A full home renovation including cabinets, flooring, drywall and fixtures
• Framing and sheathing waste from new residential construction
• A detached garage or large shed torn down
• Multiple decks, patio covers and fencing from one property
• Commercial office demo including ceiling grid, partitions and carpet tile
• Large yard clearing with brush, branches and old landscape timbers

The one thing to watch: 6 foot walls

Six foot sides mean you are not lifting much over the top. Almost everything goes in through the rear swing door, and you should plan to walk material in rather than throw it. For heavy items, a plywood ramp at the door end makes the job much faster. On a job site, position the door end toward your work area before the driver leaves, because the container cannot be rotated once it is set.

Weight and what pushes you over

Three tons are included, which is 6,000 pounds. That is generous for light bulky debris and tight for anything dense. Do not put concrete, dirt, rock, brick, tile or roofing into a 30 yard. The container will be over the limit before it looks half full, and overage at $50 per ton adds up quickly on a container this size.

For heavy material, book a 10 yard and keep it separate. Two containers with clean loads almost always cost less than one mixed container with a large weight charge. Read the concrete and dirt page before you mix loads.

Job site scheduling

On construction projects, the 30 yard usually runs on a swap cycle rather than a single rental. Tell us your framing, drywall and finish dates when you book and we will plan hauls around them so crews are never working around a full box. Ten days are included per rental period and extensions are $10 per day if a phase runs long.
