Standard porta potty
$125 to $250 a weekend
Charlotte, NC
A 30 yard dumpster holds roughly the volume of ten pickup truck loads, and it's the standard pull for roof tear-offs, whole-house cleanouts and mid-size demo jobs across Charlotte. Rental runs from a day rate up to a monthly rate, and dumpster rental cost depends mostly on how long you keep it.

Picture a box big enough to swallow a small garage full of debris. This size sits between the 20 yard dumpster rental and the 40 yard dumpster rental, and it's the one most Charlotte contractors default to when they aren't sure which size to book. For exact dumpster dimensions 30 yard buyers ask about, check dumpster sizes and dimensions before you order, since panel height changes what fits through a gate or driveway. Every roll-off delivery, this one included, needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck so the driver can lay the box down flat without jackknifing across a neighbor's yard. If your Charlotte lot backs onto a narrow alley or a tight cul-de-sac, mention that when you request a quote so dispatch can plan the approach. Homeowners doing a gut renovation often step down once debris volume is clearer, and our home renovation porta potty customers frequently pair a dumpster order with a toilet for the crew on day one.
Pricing tracks the length of the rental, and a longer hold never costs less than a short one.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Weekend pulls for a quick cleanout run from $390 to $497 for the two days, which suits a Saturday demo better than booking a full week. Most delivery fees in Charlotte land between $100 and $500 depending on distance and access, so confirm that line item separately. If your project runs past a single weekend, compare the 30 yard dumpster rental prices near me options against a 10 yard dumpster rental or 20 yard dumpster rental before committing, since smaller boxes swapped twice sometimes cost more than one big pull. Contractors running ongoing work also ask about dumpster weight limits, because shingles and concrete debris fill weight capacity long before they fill the box.
Yes, if the box sits in the public right-of-way. The Charlotte Department of Transportation requires a Right-of-Way Use Permit for construction dumpsters placed in the street or on the sidewalk, and that requirement is spelled out by name in CDOT's own Right-of-Way Use Permit Program brochure. Permit types include Lane Closure, Sidewalk Closure, Street Crossing and Entire Street Closure, and standard requests need to go in at least 48 hours ahead through the online portal; a full street closure needs 10 working days. Chapter 19 of the Charlotte Code of Ordinances separately makes it unlawful to leave an unnecessary obstruction, like a tent, table or similar object, blocking pedestrian movement in the right-of-way. What isn't confirmed yet: the exact Chapter 19 section number specific to dumpster placement, and whether a standalone 30 yard roll off dumpster parked entirely on private driveway triggers any permit at all. If your job sits fully off the street, you likely skip the process, but check with CDOT directly before delivery day. Full details live on dumpster permit requirements, and if the box needs to sit longer than expected, our construction dumpster rental page covers extended-job logistics for active sites.
Job sites juggling both a dumpster and a crew restroom should look at full construction site services packages, and if the property is 12 miles out toward Matthews or 15 miles up toward Huntersville, delivery is still straightforward from our Charlotte base. Before loading, check what cannot go in a dumpster, since paint, tires and certain chemicals get rejected at the tipping floor.
Day rates for this size run $51 to $112, though most Charlotte jobs land near $75. Add the delivery fee separately, since it isn't bundled into the daily rate quoted above.
Day, week and month terms are all available. Weekly runs $426 to $778, and monthly options land between $91 and $500 depending on the provider and haul frequency included.
Roof replacements, full-house cleanouts and small commercial demo jobs typically fill this size. If you're unsure, compare it against the 20 yard dumpster rental before ordering.
Likely not, since CDOT's permit language targets right-of-way placement. Confirm directly with the city if your driveway is short and debris might overhang the sidewalk or curb.
Plan on about 60 feet of straight space behind where the box lands. Tight Charlotte driveways or alley access should be flagged when you book.
