Whole house, all at once
30 Yard Dumpster Rental in Peoria, CO
Twenty-two feet of box with six feet of side wall — the same footprint as a 20 with a great deal more air above it. This is the container for whole-house cleanouts, multi-room remodels, framing waste and commercial turnovers.
A 30 yard is 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and six feet tall — nine to twelve pickup loads. It shares a footprint with the 20 and gains the volume purely in side height, which is the cheapest capacity there is when your debris is bulky rather than dense. This is the size for jobs that do not stop at one room.

Why people choose the 30 yard
Whole-house work is the core of it. An estate cleanout in a Randolph-Roanoke Victorian, a rental turned over after a long tenancy, a family clearing a house before it lists — those produce furniture, mattresses, boxed paper, carpet and decades of stored bulk, all of it light and none of it stackable. Nine to twelve pickup loads sounds enormous until you carry a full attic and a full basement out of the same house in one weekend. Our estate cleanout service and the home cleanout checklist lay out the order to work in.
It is also the right box for real construction. Multi-room remodels, an addition, new build framing and packaging waste, a commercial tenant turnover on a Sheridan Road or War Memorial Drive space — all of that makes high-volume, low-density debris that a 20 will bury you on. Six feet of side lets a crew keep working through the day instead of stopping to break down debris to make it fit. See construction dumpster rental and commercial dumpster rental for scheduling on an active site.
Storm work is where the 30 earns its reputation in this town. Peoria remembers the 2013 tornado and the 2020 derecho, and a bad wind night still means limb volume that beggars belief. The catch is that Illinois bans landscape waste from landfills statewide: brush, limbs, leaves and grass cannot be buried, so green waste has to move as a separate clean load to a composting facility. We set one box for structure debris and a second for the trees. Our yard waste removal covers the clean-load side, and rules do change, so confirm current requirements with Illinois EPA.
Good fit for
- Whole-house cleanout, attic through basement
- Estate clearance in a large older home
- Multi-room remodel or a full addition
- New construction framing and packaging waste
- Commercial tenant turnover and shop fit-out
- Rental property turnover after a long tenancy
- Large deck, porch and outbuilding demolition
- Storm limb volume loaded as a separate clean load
Not the right size for
- Concrete, brick, stone or soil of any real quantity
- Single-room remodels — you pay for empty air
- Roof tear-offs, which go overweight long before full
- Tight older drives with low limbs or wires overhead
Will it fit?
This box needs about 60 feet of straight approach, roughly 10 and a half feet of width, and a genuine 20 feet or more of overhead for the hoist — six feet of side means the arm works higher and longer. Low limbs and service drops on Peoria's older tree-lined streets are the usual disqualifier, so walk the whole run and look up before you book. Rear alleys serve the historic districts well when the front cannot take it. We do not set loaded boxes on bluff grades. Protection boards are standard. On the rural fringe, soft spring ground and gravel township lanes rut under weight, and wells and septic fields on acreage must be flagged.
Before delivery, move cars and bins, mark irrigation heads and septic lids, and tell us about new concrete, soft ground, a steep grade or low power lines. Our delivery and driveway protection guide covers all of it.

Is a 30 yard dumpster too big for a house cleanout?
Rarely, if you are clearing the whole house. Household bulk is light and does not stack: sofas, mattresses, shelving, boxed paper and carpet fill volume long before they trouble the payload. A full Peoria foursquare with an attic and a basement will use nine to twelve pickup loads without anyone trying. Where a 30 is too big is single-room work — there you are paying for empty air and lifting debris six feet up for no reason. One room means a 15, two or three means a 20.
Can I put storm branches and brush in a 30 yard?
Only as a dedicated clean load. Illinois bans landscape waste from landfills statewide, so limbs, brush, leaves and grass go to a composting facility and cannot be mixed with construction or household debris. After a wind event we usually set two containers on the same property — one for structure damage, one for the trees — and swap whichever fills first. Keeping the green load clean is what keeps it moving. Confirm current disposal rules with Illinois EPA, since requirements are revised from time to time.
Why should I not put a roof tear-off in a 30 yard?
Because shingle is dense and you will reach legal payload with the box less than half full, which means you are hauling air and paying for reach you cannot use. Tear-offs belong in a 15 or a 20 depending on squares and layers, sized against tonnage rather than volume. The tear-off sizing guide works through the maths. The same warning applies to concrete, brick and soil — dense material never belongs in a big box, no matter how much of it there is.
Will a 30 yard fit in a residential Peoria driveway?
Sometimes, but check before you count on it. The footprint is the same 22 feet as a 20, so length is rarely the issue; height is. Six feet of side means the hoist arm works higher and longer through the tilt, and Peoria's older streets carry mature trees and low service drops right over the apron. Newer subdivisions out toward Dunlap and Edwards handle a 30 easily. On the pre-1940 grid, a rear alley set or a 20 is often the smarter booking.
What cannot go in a 30 yard dumpster in Illinois?
Illinois keeps several categories out of landfills entirely: landscape waste, electronics including televisions, monitors, computers and printers, tires, white goods and appliances, used oil and lead-acid batteries. Paint, solvents and other household chemicals need proper handling as well. We also cannot accept asbestos-containing material in any container — and in pre-1980 Peoria houses that is a live risk in floor tile, mastic, pipe wrap and siding. Our page on what can go in a dumpster lists the detail. Confirm current rules with Illinois EPA.
