30-Yard Dumpster Aurora

A 30-yard dumpster measures about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet tall, and holds roughly 12 pickup-truck loads. That volume suits jobs where a smaller can would need a swap-out mid-project: a full asphalt-shingle roof tear-off on a Tollgate Crossing two-story, a whole-house cleanout in Meadow Hills, or a gut remodel in Seven Hills that fills a container with drywall, cabinets, and framing lumber. The trade-off is footprint, a 30-yard needs about 60 feet of clear straight-in space for the truck to set and retrieve it, so tight cul-de-sac driveways in Sable Ridge or Hutchinson Heights sometimes fit a 20-yard better.

Deciding between sizes comes down to debris volume against driveway room. If the project is a single-room remodel or a garage cleanout, the 20-yard at $695 usually finishes the job. If it is a roof tear-off, a whole-house purge, or a large addition in Southshore or Murphy Creek, the 30-yard at $795 avoids a second haul and the delay that comes with it. For a full demolition or a commercial cleanout, the 40-yard at $895 is the next step up. The $100 difference between the 20-yard and 30-yard is often cheaper than paying for a swap when a smaller container fills early.

The price is flat and all-in. The $795 covers delivery, the rental period, pickup, and dump fees together, so there is no weight-overage surprise or fuel surcharge added at the end. A dumpster rental is not junk removal, the container is dropped at the address and the customer loads it, which is why it costs less than a crew hauling debris by hand. Heavy loads such as concrete, dirt, or roofing tile have weight caps for road-legal transport; those are confirmed on the call before drop-off, not sprung afterward.

Driveways along wide streets near Aurora Highlands and the Aurora Reservoir area typically accept a 30-yard on private property with no permit. Placing the container in the public right-of-way, on the street or a parkway strip, can require a City of Aurora or Arapahoe County permit, which is worth checking before the truck arrives. Plywood under the wheels protects a finished concrete driveway from scratches during set and pickup.
