The 30 yard container in Fort Lauderdale
The 30 yard takes up the same 22 by 8 feet of ground as the 20 — the extra volume is all height. That makes it the natural choice when a job is producing a lot of bulky material but the site has no more room: a whole-house gut in Rio Vista, a new build in Davie, a commercial remodel off Federal Highway.
Because the sides are six feet high, most of what goes in it is carried or thrown rather than dropped in from a wheelbarrow. Contractors with a skid steer or a crew do not mind; a homeowner working alone usually prefers two 20s.
Whole-house gut jobs, new builds and big roofs
Renovations that take a house back to the studs fill a 30 in a hurry: every cabinet, every door, the drywall from every room. Large roofing jobs — tile roofs in particular, which are heavy — use the 30 for its higher weight allowance as much as for the volume.
On new construction and demolition in Broward County it is often the first container on site, taking framing offcuts, packaging and the mixed debris that comes out before the heavy demolition starts.
Weight, swaps and long jobs
Four to five tons is included. Jobs that run for weeks usually work on a swap schedule — we drop an empty when we pull the full one, so the site never waits. Tell us the expected duration when you book and we will set the rhythm.
Suitability
Is the 30 yard the right size for you?
Rough working figures. Weight, not volume, is what usually decides.
Choose the 30 yard for
- Whole-house renovation to the studs
- New construction and demolition debris
- Large roof tear-offs and tile roofs
- Commercial remodels and office strip-outs
- Big estate cleanouts with furniture
Pick a different size for
- Heavy inert loads only — concrete, dirt, rubble belong in a 10 loaded level
- Small residential cleanouts (you will pay for air)
- Sites with no 35 ft straight run for the truck
- Hazardous or prohibited material of any kind
Placing a 30 yard container on a Broward County property
It needs about 35 feet of clear, level driveway or lot, and overhead clearance for the lift. On your own driveway or lot in Fort Lauderdale no City permit is needed; in a street or swale the City requires a right-of-way permit from the City Engineer (Engineering Permitting Division, 954-828-6520), and other Broward cities have their own rules — Lauderhill requires a permit even on a driveway. Boards go under the rails as standard. The permit guide covers every city.

Answers
30 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
Is a 30 yard too big for a house?
For a normal cleanout, yes. For a renovation that strips several rooms to the studs, no — that volume arrives faster than people expect. We will tell you honestly which it is.
Can I do swaps on a 30 yard?
Yes. We pull the full container and drop an empty in the same visit. Contractors with multi-week jobs usually book the first swap at the start.
How much does a 30 yard dumpster weigh when full?
It depends entirely on what is in it. Four to five tons of disposal is included; a 30 full of tile roofing can exceed that, so we plan heavy loads with you up front.
Do I need a permit for a 30 yard?
Not on your own driveway or lot in Fort Lauderdale. If it has to sit in the street or swale, the City requires a right-of-way permit from the Engineering Permitting Division — we flag it when you book.
