The 30-yard dumpster is the largest roll-off most Memphis homeowners ever need, sitting between the 20-yard ($695) and the 40-yard ($895) in Paydirt Dumpster Rental's five-size lineup. It fits a full roof tear-off on a single-family home in East Memphis, a kitchen-plus-bath gut renovation in Cooper-Young, or an estate cleanout in Whitehaven where decades of furniture and boxes come out at once. The container's low 6-foot walls let a crew walk debris in over a plywood ramp instead of heaving it overhead, a detail that matters on a shingle job where a 20-yard would force a second haul.
Choosing the right size comes down to debris volume versus the room in your driveway.
If you are clearing one or two rooms, the 10-yard ($595) or 15-yard ($650) takes less space and still carries 3 to 5 loads. If you are tearing off a roof, framing an addition, or emptying a whole house in Frayser or Raleigh, the 30-yard carries the job in one container so you are not paying for a swap. The trade-off is footprint: a 30-yard needs about 22 feet of flat, straight driveway or yard, and a spotter when it backs down a narrow residential street.
On the tight lots and shotgun-house driveways common in Vollintine-Evergreen and Midtown, the 20-yard sometimes parks easier; our team will tell you which fits before delivery, not after.
Weight is where other rentals bury fees, so Paydirt keeps the $795 flat. Heavy, dense loads, concrete, brick, dirt, roofing, are better matched to the smaller 10- or 15-yard because a 30-yard filled solid with masonry can exceed roll-off road limits set under federal motor-carrier weight rules. For mixed construction and demolition debris, the EPA's guidance on C&D materials notes that wood, drywall and metal are routinely sorted and recycled, which is how disposal is handled after pickup.
Items that cannot ride in any Memphis dumpster include household hazardous waste, tires, wet paint, batteries, and refrigerant appliances; those follow separate rules under Tennessee's environment department and should go to a designated drop-off instead.
A dumpster rental is not junk removal, you load the container yourself (or your crew does) over the rental window, then our team hauls it. Step 1: call (901) 439-3729 and describe the job or text a photo. Step 2: we confirm the 30-yard fits your site and lock the flat $795.
Step 3: the roll-off is delivered to your driveway or approved street spot. Step 4: you fill it over about 7 days, keeping debris level with the top rails per OSHA jobsite loading practice. Step 5: we pick it up and dispose of the load, no return fee, no tonnage reconciliation.
If the dumpster sits on a public street rather than private property, the City of Memphis may require a right-of-way permit; the City of Memphis handles those, and a driveway placement avoids the permit entirely. Contractors following the national builder standards for site cleanliness often stage a 30-yard near the dumpster-pad edge so trades can offload through the walk-in door all week.
Every job gets a firm, written price after an on-site visit.
