30-Yard Dumpster Oakland

The 30-yard bin measures about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet high, holding roughly 30 cubic yards. That volume equals about nine to twelve full pickup loads, which is why it clears a two-story roof tear-off in the Dimond District or a full estate cleanout near Maxwell Park in one drop instead of two.

Size choice comes down to volume against the space you have.

A 10-yard ($695) fits a single bathroom remodel or a garage purge on a tight Rockridge lot; a 20-yard ($795) covers a mid-size kitchen or a Grand Lake flooring job. The 30-yard ($895) is the working size for a roof replacement, a multi-room remodel, or a whole-home cleanout in Fruitvale or Laurel where debris keeps coming. The 40-yard ($995) is bulky-but-light work, think construction framing or a large Temescal demolition.

The trade-off is footprint: a 30-yard needs about 60 feet of straight clearance to spot and load, so a steep Montclair driveway or a narrow West Oakland side street may push you toward a 20-yard placed twice instead.
