How big is a 30 yard dumpster?
Picture a box about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet tall. That's the general footprint for this size, though exact dumpster dimensions 30 yard units shift a bit by manufacturer. Kendall Porta Pros delivers these on a roll-off truck, and the driver needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set it down clean. If your driveway in Kendall backs up to a fence or a narrow alley, mention it when you book. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions if you're comparing against a 10 or 20 yard box. This size fits big jobs: a full roof strip, a garage gutted to the studs, a multi-room remodel. It's overkill for a single bathroom tear-out, where a 10 yard dumpster usually does the job for less. Know your dumpster weight limits before you fill it, because heavy debris like shingles or concrete can max out the load faster than the volume does.
What can't go in a 30 yard dumpster?
Paint, tires, batteries, and anything flammable stay out, along with most electronics and appliances with refrigerant. Full details live on what cannot go in a dumpster. Loading matters too: OSHA 1926.252 covers disposal of waste materials, including how chutes and enclosures should be handled on active job sites, and OSHA 1926.25 calls for keeping scrap and debris cleared from work areas as you go. If your Kendall project sits in the public right of way, or blocks a sidewalk, that placement needs confirming with the city before delivery. We can advise once we know the address. Renovation crews working near Pinecrest, 3.5 miles east, and Palmetto Bay, 5.6 miles southeast, run into the same rules, so we handle permit questions for both sides of that line the same way.
