The 30 yard in detail
Dimensions: 22 ft long × 8 ft wide × 6 ft high
Holds about: 10 to 12 pickup truck loads
Weight allowance: 4 to 5 tons included, with the overage rate per ton quoted at booking
The 30 yard is the same footprint as the 20 with an extra eighteen inches of height, which means it holds half again as much without needing any more driveway length. That makes it the efficient choice whenever your material is bulky and light.
Six-foot sides do change how you load. Throwing material over the wall gets awkward, so use the rear swing doors and walk heavy items in, or load from a ramp. Most builders working with one of these have a plan for it; homeowners sometimes do not, and it is worth thinking about before delivery day.
The hard limit is weight. Five tons sounds like a lot until you remember that is only about two and a half cubic yards of concrete. If your material is dense, the 30 yard is exactly the wrong container no matter how much volume you have.
Best suited to
- New construction and additions
- Large-scale interior demolition and strip-outs
- Whole-property and hoarding clearances
- Commercial fit-outs and shop refits
- Large land clearing and vegetation removal
- Multi-room flooring and drywall replacement
What to choose something else for
- Concrete, block or masonry of any quantity
- Roof tile tear-offs
- Small driveways — it needs real space
- Jobs where weight rather than volume is the constraint
Local note. This is the standard container on new-build sites across the Sealy corridor, the Sealy and Cinco Ranch growth corridors. It is also what we send for a full four to six bedroom rental property clear-out near campus, where volume is high and weight is modest.

Every container we place is priced as a single flat rate covering delivery, the rental period, collection and disposal up to the stated weight allowance. We tell you the per-ton overage rate before you book, so if your load does come in heavy there is no surprise on the invoice.
What genuinely moves the price is the size and the density of the material, not the label on the job. Our pricing guide breaks the whole thing down.
