30 yard dumpster specs

Same 22 ft footprint as the 20 yard — the extra capacity is all in the 6 ft walls, so it needs no more driveway space, just more overhead room.

When to pick a different box

  • swap_horizConcrete, dirt, brick, or asphalt — never in a 30 yard: a box this size loaded with heavy material is unhaulable and blows the 3-ton allowance instantly; use the 10 Yard Heavy box (flat rate, no weight limit)
  • swap_horizSingle-room projects — a 10 or 20 yard costs less and does the job
  • swap_horizSites with low overhead clearance — the 6 ft walls plus the lift need about 23 ft of clear air; wires and mature trees are the usual blockers

What fits in a 30 yard dumpster

lightbulbTips before you book the 30 yard

  • arrow_forwardVolume is rarely the constraint on a 30 — weight is. Keep dense debris (tile, plaster, wet material) to a fraction of the load and fill the rest with light demo.
  • arrow_forwardThe 6 ft walls mean most loading happens through the rear swing door — plan your loading path so heavy items roll or dolly straight in.
  • arrow_forwardFor construction sites, one 30 yard usually replaces two smaller hauls — fewer delivery windows, less coordination, lower total cost.
  • arrow_forwardRunning long on a big project? Extra days are $50/day with provider approval — cheaper than a rushed second container.

location_on30 Yard delivery across Orinda

A lot of Orinda dumpster jobs start with the hills: MOFD's 100-foot defensible-space rule keeps brush and tree-debris hauls coming all year, on top of midcentury ranch remodels in Glorietta, deck rebuilds off El Toyonal, and long-overdue cleanouts in family homes near the Orinda Country Club. Anywhere in the 94563 — from Sleepy Hollow's winding lanes down to Theatre Square and the Orinda BART station — local crews deliver a size that actually fits the driveway you've got. The whole reservation takes a couple of minutes on your screen, order confirmed before you'd have finished dialing.

Dumpster rules & permits in Orinda

Orinda's narrow lanes and fire-district rules shape where a dumpster can go and what ends up in it. The need-to-know list:

gavelYour own Orinda driveway: the easy route

A box that sits entirely on private property needs nothing from the city — no permit, no fees, no inspector. Given how Orinda handles street placement (see below), the driveway is almost always the smart play.

gavelStreet placement: Encroachment Permit with a site visit

Putting a dumpster on the roadway or shoulder requires an Encroachment Permit from Orinda's Public Works and Engineering Department under Municipal Code Chapter 12.08. Download the application from the city's Public Works page, then the Public Works Inspector meets you at the site to scope the job before fees are set — they're case-by-case, not flat. Build in extra lead time, and note the city allows no equipment parked overnight in the right-of-way without this permit. Full requirements are spelled out on the city's Public Works Permits page (cityoforinda.gov).

gavelOak canopy vs. roll-off truck

El Toyonal and the lanes threading Sleepy Hollow are narrow, oak-covered, and often sidewalk-free — a real squeeze for a truck that wants ~60 feet of straight approach and 23 feet of overhead clearance. Off Camino Pablo or Moraga Way you're fine; up in the hills, walk your driveway and pick the drop spot before delivery day.

gavelRemodel debris: 65% diversion is the law

Any permitted Orinda project falls under California's CALGreen code, which requires at least 65% of construction and demolition debris to stay out of the landfill. Providers on our platform haul to certified facilities, so the diversion paperwork takes care of itself.

gavelFire-zone cleanups are an Orinda staple

Orinda carries more Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone acreage than any other city in Contra Costa County — 5,241 acres — and the Moraga-Orinda Fire District requires 100 feet of defensible space around structures by ordinance. When inspection season hits, a roll-off turns weeks of brush, limb, and vegetation hauling into one trip.

Rules and fees are set by the City of Orinda and can change — always confirm current requirements with the city before placing a container in the public right-of-way.

FAQ — 30 yard dumpster rental in Orinda

How big is a 30 yard dumpster?expand_more
A 30 yard roll-off measures about 22 ft long × 8 ft wide × 6 ft tall and holds 30 cubic yards — roughly 9–12 full-size pickup truck loads. It uses the same driveway footprint as a 20 yard; the extra capacity is in the taller walls.
How much does a 30 yard dumpster cost?expand_more
A 30 yard dumpster starts at $799 when you book 7 or more days ahead — shorter-notice deliveries cost more. The price includes delivery, pickup, a 7-day rental, and 3 tons of disposal. Extra days are $50/day and overweight loads are billed per ton after pickup.
Is a 30 yard dumpster big enough for a whole-house cleanout?expand_more
For most homes, yes — a 30 yard swallows the contents of a typical 3–4 bedroom house: furniture, boxes, garage overflow, and yard extras. Genuine hoarding situations or very large estates sometimes need a swap for a second box mid-project, which you can arrange in your booking dashboard.
Can I put concrete or dirt in a 30 yard dumpster?expand_more
No — heavy material never goes in a 30 yard. Even a shallow layer of concrete across a box this size exceeds the 3-ton allowance and can make the container unsafe to haul. Clean concrete, dirt, brick, and asphalt go in the 10 Yard Heavy box at a flat rate with no weight limit.
How do I load a 30 yard dumpster with 6-foot walls?expand_more
Use the rear swing door — every 30 yard roll-off has one. Walk or dolly heavy items straight in, stack toward the front, and close the door for the last few feet of top-loading. Keep everything below the rim for legal transport.
Does a 30 yard dumpster need more space than a 20 yard?expand_more
On the ground, no — both are 22 ft × 8 ft. The differences are height (6 ft vs 4.5 ft walls) and clearance: the truck needs about 60 ft of straight approach and 23 ft overhead to raise the rails, so check for low wires and tree limbs.
How much does a 30 yard dumpster cost in Orinda, CA?expand_more
A 30 yard roll-off in Orinda starts at $799 when you book 7+ days ahead — shorter-notice deliveries cost more. That covers delivery to your Orinda driveway or jobsite, pickup, a 7-day rental, and 3 tons of disposal. Extra days are $50/day; overweight is billed per ton after pickup.
Do I need a permit for a 30 yard dumpster in Orinda?expand_more
Not if it sits entirely on your private Orinda driveway or property — that's how most rentals here work. If the box must go on a public street, Orinda requires an encroachment permit — see the local rules section on this page for the specifics. Apply before your delivery date.
