A 30 yard dumpster holds about 30 cubic yards of debris, roughly the size of a large room stacked shoulder-high. In St. Louis, 30 yard dumpster rental pricing runs from a measured low of $91 a month to $500 for heavier jobs, with weekly rates typically landing between $426 and $778.
Picture a box roughly 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet tall, though exact dumpster dimensions 30 yard units vary a bit by hauler. That footprint is why dumpster sizes and dimensions matter before you order. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set the container down safely, so measure your driveway or lot before booking. If your St. Louis property backs onto a narrow alley, tight curb cuts common around older Webster Groves and University City blocks can make that clearance hard to find. St. Louis Porta Pros checks access details during the construction dumpster rental booking call so nobody's truck gets stuck. Compare this size against a 20 yard dumpster rental or a 40 yard dumpster rental if you're not sure which one fits your pile of debris.

Paint, tires, batteries, and anything flammable or hazardous stays out of any roll-off, 30 yard included, and mixing it in can void the haul and trigger extra fees. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before you load, because contamination charges cost more than a second container. Weight matters too. Concrete, shingles, and wet debris pile weight fast, and every dumpster has a cap tied to the rental agreement; see dumpster weight limits for how that's figured. St. Louis crews clearing out a renovation or gutting a basement should also plan around any city permit rules for dumpsters sitting in a driveway versus the street; placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city, so check dumpster permit requirements before delivery day. Housekeeping matters on active job sites too. OSHA 1926.25 requires scrap and debris to be cleared from work areas, and OSHA 1926.252 covers how waste gets moved off site, both relevant if your 30 yard box sits next to an open construction zone in St. Louis.
A 30 yard roll-off dumpster rental fits full home cleanouts, roof tear-offs, and mid-size construction jobs where a 10 or 20 yard box fills up too fast. Renting the right size the first time beats paying for a second haul-away. St. Louis homeowners tackling a home renovation porta potty project alongside a gut renovation often order both a dumpster and a toilet in the same call, since crews need somewhere to go while they're filling the box. See dumpster rental cost for how size and duration change your total. Contractors running larger jobs across the region, from University City 7.9 miles northwest to Kirkwood 12.5 miles west, tend to keep a 30 yard on site for the full project length rather than swapping smaller units week to week.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Most rentals run by the week or month, and pricing above reflects both. Renting longer than planned usually costs less per day than repeated short hauls, so estimate your project timeline honestly before booking through request a quote.
It depends on where the container sits. Curbside or street placement often needs city sign-off, while driveway placement usually doesn't, but this varies enough that confirming with St. Louis directly is worth the call before delivery.
A 20 yard handles a single-room remodel or small cleanout, while a 30 yard suits whole-house projects or roofing jobs with heavier debris volume. Compare footprints on the dumpster sizes and dimensions page before deciding.
Yes, most renters load it themselves over the rental period. Keep debris level with the top rail rather than mounded, since overfilled containers can't be hauled safely and may get flagged at pickup.
Availability depends on route and container stock that day. Call ahead for rush jobs, and pair your order with temporary fence rental or storage container rental if your site needs more than just debris removal.
