Best Projects for a 30 Yard Dumpster in Salt Lake City
Whole-Home Renovations
Gutting multiple rooms or an entire house in Salt Lake City? A 30 yard handles drywall, framing, cabinets, flooring, and fixtures from 3,000+ sq ft properties.
New Construction Framing
Perfect for builders working on new construction sites. Handles wood scraps, packaging, and framing debris from large residential or commercial builds.
Large Estate Cleanouts
Clearing out a multi-story home, downsizing, or handling an estate? The 30 yard size accommodates furniture, appliances, and decades of accumulated items.
Commercial Cleanouts
Retail fit-outs, office relocations, warehouse clearances—commercial projects generate volume, and our 30 yard containers keep pace.
Multi-Story Projects
When your demolition or renovation spans multiple floors, the extra capacity prevents constant swaps and keeps crews productive.
Large Landscaping Projects
Major yard overhauls with brush, stumps, sod removal, and hardscaping debris. Watch weight on dirt and rock—we can help you size appropriately.
What Fits in a 30 Yard Dumpster?
The 30 yard is our largest standard container, designed for projects that generate substantial volume. Here's what typically fits:
- Drywall from a 3,000+ sq ft home
- All cabinets and countertops from a full kitchen + bathrooms
- Flooring from 2,500+ sq ft (carpet, hardwood, tile)
- Roofing shingles from 40-50 squares (consult on weight)
- Furniture from a 4+ bedroom house
- Framing lumber and construction debris from large builds
- Yard waste from major landscaping (2+ acres of clearing)
- Mixed debris from commercial demolition projects
Visual comparison: Picture 12-15 full-size pickup truck beds worth of material. If you're renovating an entire house or clearing out a large property, this is your go-to size.
Important: Weight Considerations for 30 Yard Dumpsters
While the 30 yard offers maximum volume, it's critical to understand weight limits. Our containers typically include 3-4 tons of disposal. General construction debris, household items, and light demolition materials rarely exceed this limit.
Watch Out For Heavy Materials
- Dirt, Soil, or Sod: Earth is extremely heavy. A full 30 yard of dirt can exceed 20 tons—far beyond legal road limits. Use a 15 yard or smaller for heavy dirt loads.
- Concrete, Asphalt, or Brick: Masonry debris should go in dedicated containers with lower fill heights. A 30 yard of concrete is unsafe and often illegal to haul.
- Roofing Shingles: Multiple layers from large roofs can get heavy fast. Always disclose roof size and layers so we can help you size correctly.
- Wet or Waterlogged Materials: Rain-soaked drywall, insulation, or carpet can double in weight. Cover your dumpster during storms if possible.
How to Avoid Overweight Fees in Salt Lake City
- Mix heavy and light materials when possible (e.g., drywall and wood framing together).
- Keep prohibited items out—liquids, hazardous waste, and electronics add weight and fees.
- Don't compact with heavy equipment unless you know your total tonnage.
- Call us for a weight estimate if your project includes masonry, roofing, or earth moving.
Our team in Salt Lake City can help you strategize disposal for heavy projects—sometimes multiple smaller containers are more cost-effective than one overweight 30 yard.

Placement Tips for 30 Yard Containers
- Space Required: Allow ~60 feet of clearance (22 ft container + truck maneuvering). Driveways, side yards, and parking areas work well.
- Overhead Clearance: Tree branches, power lines, and low carports can interfere. Ensure 20-25 feet of vertical space.
- Surface Protection: We provide boards to protect asphalt and concrete from wheel impressions. Avoid soft lawns unless protected.
- Access: Place near your work zone to minimize carry distance, but keep clear of garage doors, mailboxes, and fire hydrants.
Seasonal Notes for Salt Lake City
Event surges, condo/loft remodels, and seasonal yard waste peaks can affect routing. Sugar House and Avenues projects often request morning slots to avoid afternoon traffic. Rose Park and Ballpark corridors may compress return windows—plan accordingly. During peak periods, booking a day ahead improves your delivery window. Winter placements may require extra coordination around storms—Inversions and storms can slow afternoon routes; morning slots help when timing matters. We use boards on soft/thawing driveways.
