Weight Limits

Weight limits for a 30 yard dumpster

Most 30 yard dumpsters include 2.5–4 tons in the base rental price. Exceeding this triggers overage charges of $50–$100 per additional ton.

Heavy materials — concrete, roofing shingles, drywall, and wet debris — fill weight limits faster than they fill the container by volume.

Use our weight calculators: concrete, drywall, shingles, lumber.
