The 30 yard container in Jackson
The 30 yard takes up the same 22 by 7.5 feet of ground as the 20 — the extra volume is all height. That makes it the natural pick when a job makes a lot of bulky debris but the site has no more room: a whole-house gut in Belhaven, a rental property turned over in Pearl, an office refit off County Line Road. It holds roughly 170 to 190 standard bags.
The sides are six feet high, so most of what goes in is carried or thrown rather than tipped from a wheelbarrow. Contractors with a crew do not mind; a homeowner working alone usually prefers two 20s.
Whole-house gut jobs, cleanouts and commercial remodels
Taking a house back to the studs fills a 30 in a hurry: every cabinet, every door, the drywall from every room. Estate and move-out cleanouts with a lifetime of furniture land here too, and so do retail and office remodels — racking, displays, partitions — and neighborhood or HOA cleanups that need one box for everybody.
Knocking a building down in Jackson needs a demolition permit from the City's building official first (City Code Sec. 26-1), and the site has to be cleared of all debris within 30 days after the demolition (Sec. 26-5). In the City's local historic districts — Belhaven, Belhaven Heights, Farish Street, Medgar Evers Neighborhood and Morris — demolition also needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission. We will ask whether you have the permit.
Weight, swaps and long jobs
Four to five tons is included. Jobs that run for weeks usually go on a swap schedule — we pull the full one and drop an empty, so the site never waits. Tell us how long the job runs and we will set the rhythm. Every load leaves tarped: Mississippi's rules want waste trucks loaded so nothing falls out on the road, and Jackson's code makes a permitted hauler clean up anything that does.
Suitability
Is the 30 yard the right size for you?
Rough working figures. Weight, not volume, is what usually decides.
Choose the 30 yard for
- Whole-house renovation to the studs
- Estate and rental property cleanouts
- Retail and office remodels
- Light demolition and tear-out debris
- Large shingle roofs and community cleanups
Pick a different size for
- Heavy-only loads — concrete, brick and dirt belong in a 10 loaded level
- Small cleanouts (you will pay for air)
- Sites with no 60 ft straight run for the truck
- Asbestos or hazardous material of any kind
Placing a 30 yard container on a Jackson-area property
It needs about 60 feet of straight, level run for the truck and 25 feet of overhead clearance. On your own driveway or lot in Jackson we found no City permit for a roll-off; in a street, alley or sidewalk the City Code makes containers unlawful (Sec. 110-61) unless building work has the City's written authorization for part of the street (Sec. 110-21). Other cities have their own rules — Ridgeland bans containers in streets, Madison keeps temporary storage units on the driveway. Check your HOA too: some covenants cover containers in driveways. Boards go under the rails on request. Each town page covers its own code.

Answers
30 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
Is a 30 yard too big for a house?
For a normal cleanout, yes. For a renovation that strips several rooms to the studs, no — that volume arrives faster than people expect. We will tell you honestly which it is.
Can I do swaps on a 30 yard?
Yes. We pull the full container and drop an empty in the same visit. Contractors with multi-week jobs usually book the first swap at the start.
How much does a 30 yard dumpster weigh when full?
It depends entirely on what is in it. Four to five tons of disposal is included; a 30 full of plaster, shingles and tile can go past that, so we plan heavy loads with you up front.
Do I need a permit for a 30 yard?
On your own driveway or lot, we found no City of Jackson permit for a roll-off. A street is another matter: the City Code makes it unlawful to put containers or any obstruction in a street, alley or sidewalk (Sec. 110-61), and the only way around it for a building job is written authorization from the City's engineering section or the building inspector naming the part of the street you can use (Sec. 110-21). Tell us when you book and we will tell you where your spot stands.
