Budgeting a 30-Day Roll-Off Dumpster: True Construction Costs by Region

A 30-day construction dumpster rental is rarely a flat “monthly rate.” Most providers quote weekly pricing, then layer extensions, tonnage, and extra hauls across the month. National weekly averages cluster roughly between $280–$663 across sizes, with some markets advertising $280–$1,550 per week; a 30-yard commonly runs $450–$780 weekly, so plan on $1,800–$3,120 for four weeks before extras, with high-cost metros running higher based on disposal and permit pressures (see Angi’s cost guide and EasyWM’s pricing analysis for current benchmarks). Added hauls, overweight tons, and right-of-way permits can materially shift totals, so budget conservatively and align service to your construction schedule.

Best dumpster sizes for residential cleanouts: a practical selection guide

Choosing the best dumpster size for a residential cleanout comes down to three things: how much you have, how heavy it is, and where the container can safely sit. For most whole-house cleanouts, a 20-yard roll-off is the practical default that balances capacity with driveway fit. Smaller 10–15 yard bins suit single rooms or dense materials like concrete; 30–40 yard bins are for estate-scale projects or major remodels. Roll-off dumpsters are measured by internal volume in cubic yards, so focus on capacity and included tonnage—not just sticker price—to avoid swaps, overages, and delays. This guide shows you how to compare sizes, right-size for weight limits and access, and align rentals with diversion and documentation needs.
