30 Cubic Yards
30 Yard Dumpster Rental in Simpsonville, SC
Room enough for a whole-house project, a commercial cleanout, or a new-build job site without a mid-project second delivery.
- 30 ydCapacity
- 9 pickup-truck loadsPickup loads
- 4–5 tonsWeight allowance

Once a project moves past a single house’s worth of debris — a full home renovation, a commercial space getting cleared out, or a new-construction site generating framing offcuts and packaging by the dumpster load — the 30 yard is usually where we land. At 22 ft long by 7.5 ft wide by 6 ft tall, it holds about 9 pickup-truck loads, enough to carry a bigger job from start to finish in one drop-off rather than scheduling a swap partway through.
Weight allowance sits at 4–5 tons, which gives you real room for a mixed load of construction debris, old furniture, and general renovation waste before weight becomes the limiting factor. It’s a bigger footprint than our mid-size containers, so we’ll ask about your driveway or lot before delivery to confirm it fits comfortably. Call (864) 432-6521 and tell us about the project and we’ll get you sized right the first time.

Built for Bigger Jobs
A 30 yard earns its size on jobs where a smaller container would mean a callback for a second load — a whole-house renovation, a commercial cleanout, or a new-construction site where debris keeps coming as the build progresses. It’s a common choice for contractors who’d rather keep one container on site for the duration of a job than coordinate multiple swaps. See our construction dumpster rental and commercial dumpster rental pages for more on how we handle ongoing job-site debris.
30 Yard vs. 40 Yard — Which Way to Go
The 30 yard covers most whole-house and commercial jobs, but a couple of situations call for stepping up to the 40 yard instead: a major demolition, a large construction site with heavy ongoing volume, or a commercial fit-out generating debris faster than a single 30 yard can absorb. If your project is contained to one property and one phase of work, the 30 yard is usually the right call. Our size guide covers the full lineup, or call (864) 432-6521 and describe the scope.
What Doesn’t Fit / Weight Considerations
The 4–5 ton weight allowance handles a mixed renovation or construction load well, but a load heavy on concrete, brick, tile, or roofing material can hit that ceiling before the box fills up — if that’s a large share of what’s coming out, mention it when you book so we can confirm the 30 yard is still the right size rather than the concrete & heavy debris service handling it separately. Whole tires are banned from South Carolina landfills outright under S.C. Code § 44-96-170, with a $2 fee at time of sale or disposal, and belong at a registered tire retailer instead. Lead-acid batteries are banned under § 44-96-180 and go to a battery retailer or recycler. Major appliances fall under the state’s “white goods” landfill ban, § 44-96-200. Electronics and TVs have been banned from South Carolina landfills statewide since July 2011 — a genuine legal prohibition, not a courtesy request. Asbestos, paint, fuel, and other chemicals never go in any size container. Full list in our what can go in a dumpster in South Carolina guide.
Typical Rental Period
A 30 yard typically stays out for a standard rental period, which fits most whole-house or commercial timelines. Construction and renovation jobs run long more often than not, so if you need it on site longer than planned, call us and we’ll extend the rental rather than force a rushed pickup mid-project.
Local fit
The 30 yard in Simpsonville driveways
The 30 yard is a regular sight on renovation and new-construction jobs across the Golden Strip and out into the wider service area — larger properties toward Laurens, Anderson, and Spartanburg County tend to have the room for it without a second thought, while in-town Simpsonville lots near the downtown clock tower sometimes need a quick placement check first. It’s also a common call after severe spring weather moves through; Greenville County has logged 35 documented tornadoes since 1952, and a bigger property with storm damage across multiple structures often needs the extra capacity a 30 yard provides over our mid-size containers.
Placement stays permit-free on private property — driveway, yard, gravel pad, or a cleared section of a job site. If a 30 yard needs to sit in the street instead, Simpsonville city limits require a Public Works Street Cut Permit at a flat $500 fee, while unincorporated Greenville County addresses go through the County’s Building Safety & Codes Compliance office. Mauldin, Fountain Inn, Greer, and the other incorporated towns in our service area each run their own separate permit process. See our permit guide for the breakdown, or call (864) 432-6521 and we’ll confirm which office applies to your address.

30 Yard dumpster questions
How many pickup-truck loads does a 30 yard hold?
About 9 pickup-truck loads of debris.
What’s the weight limit on a 30 yard dumpster?
4–5 tons, which covers most whole-house and construction loads well. Heavy material like concrete or roofing can bring weight into play sooner — let us know what’s coming out.
Is the 30 yard right for a commercial cleanout?
Yes — it’s a common size for commercial cleanouts and tenant turnovers. See our commercial dumpster rental page or call (864) 432-6521 to talk through the scope.
Can I use a 30 yard for a new-construction job site?
Yes, it’s a regular choice for new-build cleanup. See our construction dumpster rental page for how we handle ongoing job-site debris.
Do I need a permit for a 30 yard dumpster in Simpsonville?
Not if it sits on private property, which covers most 30 yard deliveries. Street placement inside Simpsonville city limits requires a $500 Public Works Street Cut Permit — see our permit guide for other towns.
Will a 30 yard fit on a standard driveway?
It has a bigger footprint than our mid-size containers, so it’s worth confirming driveway width and clearance when you call. We’ll walk through placement before the truck ever shows up.
What does a 30 yard cost?
DMC Dumpster Rental Simpsonville quotes a flat rate by phone based on your specific project rather than a generic online price — see our dumpster rental cost guide, or call (864) 432-6521 for a quote.
