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.
Ideal for
- check_circleWhole-home remodels and gut renovations
- check_circleNew construction and large additions
- check_circleEstate and whole-house cleanouts
- check_circleLarge roofing jobs (3+ layers or oversized roofs)
- check_circleCommercial tenant improvements
- check_circleMajor landscape and hardscape overhauls
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
Real-world loads Richmond customers put in this box — it holds about 9–12 full-size pickup truck loads of debris.
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 Richmond
Richmond built ships for the WWII home front, and the wartime bungalows that housed those shipyard workers are now prime gut-renovation territory — right alongside warehouse cleanouts near the Craneway Pavilion at Ford Point and rental turnovers off Macdonald and San Pablo Avenues. Local providers run boxes daily through every Richmond ZIP, 94801 through 94806, from Point Richmond's hillside cottages out to Hilltop and the North & East flats near the I-80 corridor. Pick a size, pick a date, check out online — nobody waits on hold.
Dumpster rules & permits in Richmond
Richmond spans city blocks, unincorporated county pockets, and a working industrial waterfront — so the rules depend on exactly where the box lands:
gavelInside your property line: zero city involvement
A roll-off that stays on your own Richmond lot — driveway, yard, parking pad, or warehouse floor — needs no permit whatsoever. That covers the vast majority of rentals in town.
gavelCity right-of-way: Encroachment Permit through COR Connect
Richmond counts everything between the property lines — roadway and sidewalk alike — as public right-of-way, and anything placed there needs an Encroachment Permit from the city's Engineering Division. Applications go through the online COR Connect portal with a form and site plan; the published encroachment fee is $604 and covers up to two hours of inspection (ci.richmond.ca.us).
gavelWalk the truck's path first
Figure roughly 60 feet of straight approach and 23 feet of overhead room for the roll-off truck. The Iron Triangle's tight grid and the wires strung along Macdonald Avenue eat into that fast, and Point Richmond's narrow hill streets leave little margin — scout the drop spot before delivery day.
gavelPermitted work means 65% diversion
Any Richmond project pulling a building permit falls under California's CALGreen requirement to divert at least 65% of construction and demolition debris from landfill. Providers on our platform haul to certified facilities, so the paperwork takes care of itself.
gavelSome "Richmond" addresses aren't City of Richmond
El Sobrante (94803), North Richmond, East Richmond Heights, and the Tara Hills area near 94806 sit in unincorporated Contra Costa County — street placement there runs through County Public Works encroachment permitting, not the city's COR Connect portal. Confirm whose street you're actually on before you apply.
Rules and fees are set by the City of Richmond and can change — always confirm current requirements with the city before placing a container in the public right-of-way.
