30-Yard Roll-Off Dumpster

The 30-yard is the go-to size when the debris pile clearly outgrows a standard 20-yard can. Its walls stand about 6 feet high and the box runs roughly 22 feet long by 8 feet wide, so it swallows bulky items, kitchen cabinets, old subflooring, deck lumber, without you playing Tetris to make it fit. If you are gutting a two-story in Church Hill or clearing decades of stuff from a Bellevue family home, this size means one haul instead of two.

Here is the honest trade-off: a 30-yard needs real space. Richmond's older streets in The Fan, Museum District, and parts of Carytown have narrow driveways, tight alleys, and street-parking pressure, so a container this long does not always drop where you'd like. On those blocks we often talk homeowners into a 20-yard, or we help you plan a legal street placement. Out in Manchester, Scott's Addition, and Forest Hill, where lots run wider and jobsites have room, the 30-yard is usually the smart, cost-effective call. We give you that guidance straight so you don't pay for a bigger box than the job needs.

Weight matters more than most folks expect. Heavy debris like concrete, brick, dirt, or shingles piles on tonnage fast, and a 30-yard loaded with dense material can push past what a roll-off truck should legally carry. For a full roof tear-off or a Shockoe Bottom masonry demo, a smaller heavy-debris container is often the safer, cheaper route, we'll flag that before you book. For light, bulky renovation junk, the 30-yard is exactly where the value lives.

When we deliver, we set boards under the container to protect your driveway or pavers, and we give you a real delivery window instead of a vague 'sometime that day.' That's the good-neighbor promise: honest price, on time, every haul. If you're between sizes or unsure about placement on a tight Jackson Ward lot, call and describe the job, we'd rather right-size you than oversell you.
