30-Yard Roll-Off Dumpster Minneapolis

The 30-yard roll-off is the largest bin most Minneapolis homeowners ever need short of a demolition. At about 22 feet long and 6 feet of side wall, it swallows the debris from a full roof tear-off on a two-story Longfellow bungalow, a gutted kitchen-and-bath remodel in Marcy-Holmes, or a top-to-bottom estate cleanout in Nokomis. It holds roughly 12 pickup loads and carries up to about 6 tons before weight becomes a concern, enough for the bulky, high-volume debris that would overflow a 20-yard three times over.

Size choice comes down to volume against driveway space. A 10-yard ($595) suits a single-room cleanout; a 20-yard ($695) handles a two-room remodel or a small garage clear-out; the 30-yard ($795) is the pick when the pile is large but the material is light and bulky, think framing lumber, cabinetry, drywall, and furniture. For dense, heavy loads like concrete, brick, or dirt, a smaller bin is smarter because those materials hit the weight limit long before they fill 30 yards of space. If the driveway is short or the project sits on a tight Whittier or Seward lot, the 22-foot footprint matters: the delivery truck needs roughly 60 feet of straight clearance and about 23 feet of vertical room to raise the bed and roll the box off.

Driveway placement is free and needs no permit. Placing the 30-yard on a Minneapolis street requires an obstruction permit from the city, so plan the drop where the container can sit on private property when possible. A dumpster rental is not junk removal, the crew drops the empty box, the customer or contractor loads it at their own pace over the rental period, and the crew hauls it away full. The $795 covers the haul and the dump; there are no hidden tonnage or fuel fees stacked on afterward, which is the surprise line item that inflates most quotes across the metro. Everyman detail worth knowing: the doors on the back barrel-latch open, so heavy items like a Nokomis basement's old workbench can be wheeled in level instead of hoisted over the 6-foot wall.
