30 Yard Dumpster Rental in Des Moines
The 30 yard dumpster is the largest trailer in the Dumpster Doctor fleet and the go-to choice for heavy-duty projects across the Des Moines metro. Whether you are gutting a kitchen, tearing off a roof, clearing out an entire house, or managing debris on a commercial job site, this trailer gives you the room and the weight capacity to get it done in a single haul.
What Does a 30 Yard Dumpster Hold?
A 30 yard dumpster holds roughly 10 to 12 pickup truck loads of material. That is a significant amount of debris—enough for full-room demo, large furniture sets, stacks of old drywall, cabinetry, subflooring, and more. If you are working on a project that would overflow a 20 yard trailer or you simply want the peace of mind that comes with extra capacity, the 30 yard is the right call.
Approximate Dimensions
Our 30 yard trailer-style dumpster measures approximately 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 5 feet tall. It features easy-open rear doors so you can walk debris straight in rather than lifting everything over the sides. The trailer design is driveway-friendly and does not require a roll-off truck, which means less damage risk and a cleaner placement on your property.
Best Use Cases for a 30 Yard Dumpster
- Large home remodels — full kitchen or bathroom guts, multi-room renovations, flooring replacement throughout an entire level
- Full-house cleanouts — estate cleanouts, move-out purges, hoarding situations where every room needs to be emptied
- Contractor demolition — framing teardown, drywall and insulation removal, large-scale interior demo on residential and light commercial jobs
- Roofing tear-offs — multi-layer shingle removal, decking replacement, and related roofing debris (see our roofing dumpster rental page for details)
- Commercial and property management jobs — office cleanouts, tenant turnovers, warehouse clearing, and retail renovation projects
