30 Yard Dumpster Rental in San Diego, CA
A 30-yard dumpster is a large-scale container designed for major renovation, demolition, and commercial projects in San Diego. At 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet tall, it holds roughly 12 pickup truck loads of debris — 50% more than a 20-yard. This size is standard on construction sites, commercial cleanouts, and whole-house renovation projects where debris volume is significant.
6 of 15 providers in San Diego carry 30-yard dumpsters. Pricing runs $425–$550 for a 7-day rental with a 4–5 ton weight allowance. Delivery is available across the San Diego metro including San Diego County, Ocean Beach, Mission Hills — note that a 30-yard requires a clear delivery area roughly the size of a parking space. The higher wall height (6 feet) means you'll need to toss material over the sides or use the swing-open door that most 30-yard containers include.
Contractors and property managers in San Diego use 30-yard dumpsters for new construction waste, commercial buildouts, multi-room demolition, and large-scale cleanouts (estate cleanups, hoarding situations, office relocations). If you're deciding between a 20-yard and a 30-yard, consider the cost difference — usually $75–$125 — versus the cost of a second haul if the 20-yard fills up.

30 Yard Dumpster FAQ — San Diego
How much does a 30 yard dumpster cost in San Diego?
A 30 yard dumpster in San Diego typically costs $425–$550 for a standard 7-day rental with a 4–5 ton weight allowance. Additional days run $10–$15 each. The 30-yard is only $75–$125 more than a 20-yard but holds 50% more material — making it the better value for larger projects. Compare quotes from 6 San Diego providers to find the best rate.
What's the difference between a 20 and 30 yard dumpster in San Diego?
The main difference is height and capacity. A 20-yard is 4.5 feet tall and holds ~8 truck loads. A 30-yard is 6 feet tall and holds ~12 truck loads — 50% more debris. Both have the same 22' × 8' footprint, so they take up the same driveway space. The 30-yard costs $75–$125 more in San Diego. If your project involves bulky items (furniture, large appliances) or multi-room renovation, the extra height and volume of the 30-yard is usually worth the price difference.
Can a 30 yard dumpster fit in a residential driveway in San Diego?
Yes — a 30-yard dumpster has the same 22' × 8' footprint as a 20-yard, so it fits in most San Diego driveways. The difference is height: at 6 feet tall, it may block sightlines or look imposing. Ensure your driveway can handle the weight (loaded 30-yard containers weigh 8,000–12,000 lbs). If your driveway slopes or is narrow, discuss placement with your San Diego provider during booking — they can advise on the best positioning.
