A 30 yard dumpster holds about 30 cubic yards of debris, roughly the size of a small garage cleanout or a full roof tear-off. In Chesapeake, day rates run 51 to 112 dollars and weekly rates run 426 to 778 dollars depending on load and site access. It's the middle option between a 20 yard dumpster and a 40 yard dumpster.
Picture a box roughly 22 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 6 feet tall. That's the general shape for this size class, though exact dumpster dimensions 30 yard units vary a little by manufacturer. The 30 yard dumpster size fits well for whole-house cleanouts, mid-size remodels, and roofing jobs that generate bulky, low-density waste like shingles and drywall. If you're not sure this is the right call, check dumpster sizes and dimensions before you book, or compare it against a 10 yard dumpster for smaller jobs. Chesapeake Porta Pros delivers these on a roll-off truck, and that truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set the container down safely. Long driveways in older Chesapeake neighborhoods sometimes force a street placement instead, which is worth planning ahead through our construction dumpster rental page if the job is a work site. Weight matters too. Heavy debris like concrete or shingles fills the weight limit long before it fills the box, so check dumpster weight limits before you load it. Also confirm what cannot go in a dumpster, since certain materials get rejected at the landfill and billed back to you.

These bands cover the roll-off dumpster itself; delivery is often a separate line, so budget a delivery fee on top when you request a quote. For a full cost breakdown across sizes, see dumpster rental cost in Chesapeake. If you're weighing a 30 yard roll off dumpster against a smaller box for a driveway project, our dumpster permit requirements page is worth a look first, since placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Chesapeake before drop-off. We haven't verified a specific permit fee or ordinance number for curb placement, so ask us and we'll check with the city on your behalf rather than guess.
Renting local cuts wait time and delivery cost. A 30 yard roll-off dumpster rental based in Chesapeake means faster turnaround than a hauler driving in from Norfolk, 22.6 miles north, or Virginia Beach, 24.2 miles northeast. If your job site sits closer to Suffolk, 28.3 miles west, or out toward Carrollton, 29.8 miles northwest, we still cover it, but a Chesapeake-based swap saves a trip. Bigger cleanouts, demolition debris, and multi-room renovations tend to overflow a 20 yard box fast, and paying for a second haul-away costs more than sizing up once. If your project also needs jobsite sanitation, pair the dumpster with a standard porta potty rental or bundle it into full construction site services so OSHA 1926.51(c) toilet ratios and debris removal are both covered under one delivery schedule. For agricultural sites clearing outbuildings, our farm and agricultural restrooms page covers the sanitation side of a similar cleanup.
Rental length is flexible: day, week, or month, priced on the table above. Most cleanouts finish in a week. Longer renovation jobs run monthly rates, which price lower per day than renting week to week repeatedly, so ask about swapping to a monthly rate if your Chesapeake project stretches past two weeks.
It depends on placement. Driveway placement usually needs nothing extra; street or right-of-way placement needs confirming with the city. We haven't verified Chesapeake's specific permit rule, so we check on your behalf before delivery rather than guess at a fee.
Certain hazardous and regulated materials get rejected at disposal and billed back. See what cannot go in a dumpster for the full list before you load paint cans, tires, or batteries.
About 60 feet of straight space behind the truck, plus overhead clearance for low branches or wires. Tight Chesapeake lots sometimes need street placement instead; ask us to scout it during your request a quote call.
Yes, but shingles are heavy. Check dumpster weight limits first, since a full-looking load of shingles can exceed the weight cap before the box looks full, triggering overage charges.
