A 30 yard dumpster holds about 30 cubic yards of debris, roughly the size of two small cars stacked side by side, and it works well for roof tear-offs, additions and whole-house cleanouts. Oak Park Porta Pros prices these by the day, with delivery handled separately.
Dumpster dimensions on a 30 yard box run close to 22 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 6 feet tall, though exact 30 yard dumpster measurements shift a little between manufacturers. That height matters. Loading over the rail past 6 feet usually isn't allowed once you're near the top, so plan volume, not just weight. If you're not sure this size fits the job, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page walks through how a 30 yard compares to a 20 yard or 40 yard box side by side. For a straight teardown project or a gut renovation in Oak Park, a 30 yard roll off dumpster is usually the sweet spot between capacity and what fits in a driveway. Before you commit, check dumpster weight limits too, since heavy material like shingles or concrete fills the weight cap long before it fills the box.
Day rate, delivery fee and any overage make up the total, and the table below shows where 30 yard pricing sits against the dumpster range generally. For exact 30 yard dumpster rental prices near me, request a quote and we'll confirm based on your address and haul distance.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|

| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Delivery runs separately, and the dumpster rental cost page breaks down delivery fee ranges by day, week and month so you're not guessing at the full bill. If you're renting for a one or two day job, 10 yard dumpster rental might actually cost less than stepping up to 30. For bigger commercial teardowns, compare against 20 yard dumpster rental and 40 yard dumpster rental before you rent 30 yard dumpster capacity you don't need.
Maybe, depending on where the box sits. If the dumpster goes on a driveway or your own lot, you're probably fine. If it has to sit in the street or right of way, that placement needs confirming with the City of Oak Park before delivery, since we don't have a specific permit fee or ordinance number to quote here. Our dumpster permit requirements page covers what to ask the city, and porta potty permit requirements covers the same question for a portable toilet if your renovation needs one on site too.
Delivery trucks need real room to work. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to place and pull a 30 yard box safely, so a short driveway or a tight alley in Oak Park can change where we're able to drop it. We serve addresses from Oak Park out to Maywood, 3.4 miles west, and Elmwood Park, 4.0 miles northwest, and driveway clearance gets checked the same way on every job regardless of distance. Know what cannot go in a dumpster before loading, since certain materials void the rental. If your project also involves clearing a job trailer or fencing off the work zone, look at temporary fence rental and construction dumpster rental together for full site setup.
Most rentals run by the day or week, matching the table above. Longer renovation jobs often move to a month rate instead of repeated weekly charges. Talk through your timeline on the request a quote page and we'll match the term to your project.
Usually, if the driveway is close to flat and gives the truck roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind it for placement. Tight urban lots in Oak Park sometimes need the box angled at the curb instead. We confirm this before delivery day.
Capacity and footprint. A 30 yard box holds noticeably more debris than a 20, but it's also longer and taller, so it needs more clearance. See 20 yard dumpster rental for a side-by-side on size and typical use cases.
Sometimes, but certain materials are restricted regardless of what else is in the load. Check what cannot go in a dumpster first, since paints, tires and hazardous waste usually need separate disposal.
