On heavy loads before you commit

When a project is genuinely large, our 30 yard dumpster rental in Longview, TX saves you the mid-project call for a second load. When the scope is a full shingle tear-off, a whole-house gut-out before a renovation, or an estate cleanout in Gregg County, the 30-yard handles the volume and weight in a single rental. Longview's aging housing stock — the median home was built before 1975, meaning roughly half the city is now past its first major renovation cycle — generates exactly this kind of debris: double-layer tear-offs on 1970s ranch homes, original oak flooring and plaster-over-wood-lath in Spring Hill and Pine Tree bungalows, decades of accumulated content in properties that have never been cleared. Most local competitors stop at a 20 or 25-yard. We take it to 30 because some projects in Longview genuinely need the room — browse our FAQ for common questions on sizing and weight allowances.

30-Yard Specifications

Volume	30 cubic yards
Outside dimensions (approx.)	22 ft long × 8 ft wide × 6 ft tall
Weight allowance	4 tons (8,000 lbs) included
Pickup truck equivalent	9–12 loads
Rental period	7 days flat rate (extensions available)
Starting price	From $650

Is the 30-Yard Your Size?

Best for

Full roof tear-off — any shingle type or layer count
Whole-house gut-out across multiple rooms
Complete estate cleanout, furnished 3–4 bedroom property
New construction debris (framing, OSB, trim)
Full kitchen + multiple bathroom renovation combined
Post-storm interior gut-out (drywall, insulation, framing)
Projects where scope is uncertain

Not the right tool for

Large-volume concrete demolition (weight fills before volume)
Dirt, soil, or clay removal (dedicated container needed)
Double-layer tear-offs over 25 squares without planning for overage
Projects that only need one room's worth of debris

Roofing weight?

Volume: yes. Weight: call with square footage first — architectural shingles often exceed the 4-ton allowance.

Driveway clearance?

6-ft wall height makes overhead clearance critical — power lines, low branches, carports. We confirm before the truck rolls.

Scope uncertain?

Book the 30-yard. The size premium is fixed. A second-load swap when you run short is not.

How to Know the 30-Yard Is Right

✓ Signs this is right

Full roof — any size or layer count
Whole house gut-out or estate cleanout
New construction phase — framing debris through trim
Scope is genuinely unclear and volume could be large

↓ Consider a 20-yard if

Single-layer roof under 25 squares
Whole-home cleanout but lightly furnished
Multi-room renovation (2–3 rooms, no heavy demo)
Budget is a primary driver and scope is well-defined

Consider split loads if

Double-layer roof over 25 squares
Project is primarily concrete, brick, or soil
Debris is mixed heavy + light and weight will clearly exceed 4 tons

Will My Project Fit a 30-Yard? — Job-Type Matrix

Find your project below to see whether the 30-yard handles it — by volume and by weight.

Project	Fits?	Why	Consideration
Full roof tear-off, 1,500–2,500 sq ft (single layer, 3-tab)	✓ Yes	3-tab at 230 lbs/square: 25 squares = ~5,750 lbs — comfortably within the 4-ton limit	Add rotted decking from a pre-2000 Longview home and you can exceed the limit even here
Full roof tear-off, 1,500–2,500 sq ft (architectural shingles)	Overage likely	Architectural at 350 lbs/square: 25 squares = ~8,750 lbs — just over the 4-ton limit	Volume fits; plan for weight overage and get a pre-delivery estimate from us
Double-layer tear-off, 25 squares	✗ Weight only	Two layers = 14,000–17,500 lbs — far above 4-ton limit regardless of container size	Split loads or a dedicated per-ton container — call us before booking any two-layer job
Whole-house gut-out (all rooms, 3BR/2BA)	✓ Yes	Drywall, flooring, cabinets, and fixtures across a full home: 4,000–6,000 lbs, within limit	Spring Hill and Pine Tree bungalows with original plaster-over-lath add weight — flag this material at booking
Furnished estate cleanout, 3–4 bedroom	✓ Yes	Furniture, appliances, decades of household items: 3,500–6,000 lbs; volume is the constraint here	Larger estates or homes with heavy collections may need a second drop — call to discuss
New construction debris (framing, OSB, trim, housewrap)	✓ Yes	Framing lumber and OSB are light per cubic foot; typical new construction phase runs 2,000–4,000 lbs	Popular with Gregg County builders for phased construction projects
Post-storm gut-out (drywall, insulation, framing)	✓ Yes	Wet drywall and insulation are low-density; a full interior gut-out runs 2,000–4,000 lbs	If roof is also being torn off in the same load, weight accumulates — consider separate pulls
Large concrete or masonry demolition	✗ Weight only	Concrete at 150 lbs/cu ft: about 53 cubic feet fills the 4-ton limit — the 30-yard is volume-only here	Dedicated heavy-debris containers are purpose-built for concrete and masonry — call for options
Dirt and soil disposal	✗ Not accepted	Soil at 100 lbs/cu ft hits the 4-ton limit at 80 cubic feet — a tiny fraction of the container's 30-yard volume	Pine Hill Landfill does not accept soil loads in standard containers; call for alternatives

What Fits Inside a 30-Yard

The 30-yard holds 170–190 standard 33-gallon trash bags, or roughly 9–12 pickup truck loads. The container is 22 × 8 × 6 ft — same footprint as the 20-yard but standing 6 feet tall, a container you can walk into upright. By material category:

Roofing

Asphalt shingles — any layer count (watch weight)
Roofing felt and ice-and-water shield
OSB decking and plywood sheathing
Fascia, soffits, and gutters

Whole-House Renovation

Drywall, plaster, and insulation across all rooms
Lumber, framing members, and OSB sheathing
All flooring types (hardwood, carpet, tile, LVP)
Cabinets, countertops, trim, and fixtures

Estate & Cleanout

Furniture, mattresses, and large household items
Appliances (no refrigerant — no fridges, AC, freezers)
Decades of accumulated household content

Masonry (weight-limited)

Small concrete sections (call first with dimensions)
Brick and block in limited quantities
Tile on concrete backer (adds weight fast)

Field Insights — What People Get Wrong on 30-Yard Jobs

These are the planning errors that most commonly turn a one-load job into a two-load cost.

Plaster-over-wood-lath in Spring Hill and Pine Tree bungalows is dramatically heavier than drywall

Pre-1960 homes in Spring Hill and Pine Tree often have original plaster applied directly over wood lath — a system that runs 8–10 lbs per square foot, versus 1.6 lbs per square foot for modern ½-inch drywall. A single room with plaster-over-lath walls and ceiling can weigh 3,000–5,000 lbs before any other debris is added. Homeowners booking a 30-yard for a whole-house gut-out in these neighborhoods frequently hit the 4-ton weight limit before they finish one room. If the home was built before 1960 and has not been gut-renovated, call us before booking — we will walk through a room-by-room weight estimate with you.

Post-storm roofing jobs in Gregg County carry hidden weight from underlayment damage

After the April 2, 2023 hail event that affected Longview, White Oak, Hallsville, and Kilgore simultaneously, roofing contractors across Gregg County repeatedly encountered the same pattern: roofs that quoted as a straightforward single-layer tear-off had saturated underlayment and rotted OSB decking beneath — materials that can add 200–400 lbs per square to the load, discovered only when the shingles come off. Homes built before 2000 are most susceptible because they predate widespread use of ice-and-water shield. If your roof dates to the 1980s or 1990s and has not had a moisture inspection, build weight overage into your budget or call us first so we can estimate conservatively.

Heavy Debris and the 30-Yard’s 4-Ton Limit

The 30-yard is a volume container — but on roofing and demolition jobs, weight fills before volume does. The 4-ton (8,000 lb) included allowance covers most light-to-medium loads comfortably. For heavy debris, the table below shows exactly where the limit is hit.

Material	Approximate Weight	Hits 4-ton limit at
3-tab asphalt shingles	~230 lbs per square (100 sq ft)	~35 squares before overage
Architectural shingles	~350 lbs per square	~23 squares before overage
Plaster-over-wood-lath (pre-1960)	~8–10 lbs per sq ft	~400–500 sq ft of wall/ceiling area
Concrete (4-inch slab)	~50 lbs per sq ft of slab	~160 sq ft — a 10×16 section
Brick / masonry	~130 lbs per cubic ft	~62 cubic ft before overage
Soil / dirt	~100 lbs per cubic ft	~60 cubic ft — not accepted at Pine Hill in standard containers
Drywall (½-inch)	~1.6 lbs per sq ft	~3,750 sq ft — rarely a weight issue

Overage charges are calculated from the scale ticket at Pine Hill Landfill, 1102 Four South Industrial Boulevard — you receive a copy at pickup. The overage rate, $65 per ton, is disclosed before booking. For projects that are primarily heavy material — a full driveway removal, a block retaining wall, or a concrete patio — a dedicated heavy debris container is the better fit. Those containers are engineered weight-first.

What Can Go in a 30-Yard — and What Cannot

See the complete accepted and prohibited materials list for full details.

Generally Accepted

Asphalt shingles and roofing underlayment
Drywall, plaster, and insulation
Lumber, framing, and OSB sheathing
All flooring — hardwood, carpet, tile, LVP
Cabinets, countertops, and trim
Furniture, mattresses, and household items
Yard waste (brush, limbs, sod)
Small appliances (no refrigerants)
Concrete and brick (weight allowance permitting)

Not Accepted

Paint, solvents, and motor oil
Car batteries and lithium batteries
Propane tanks (any size)
Tires
Refrigerators, AC units, freezers
Asbestos-containing materials
Medical or biohazardous waste
Flammable or explosive materials

All accepted debris is hauled to Pine Hill Landfill at 1102 Four South Industrial Boulevard — the TCEQ-permitted Type I municipal landfill serving Gregg County, operated by Republic Services. If you are unsure about a specific item, call before you load it. Prohibited materials discovered at the landfill trigger removal fees that exceed the cost of proper disposal at the outset.

30-Yard Delivery Requirements and Placement

Your 30 yard roll off dumpster is set by our truck, which requires 60 feet of clear horizontal space to roll out and place the container, plus at least 25 feet of vertical clearance above the placement spot. These are the same numbers as on the smaller sizes — but the 30-yard's 6-foot wall height makes overhead clearance a more active concern. Power lines at the street, tree branches arching over the driveway, carport roofs, and low garage door headers all become meaningful obstacles when the container itself stands 6 feet tall. See our dumpster delivery placement tips for a full pre-delivery checklist.

Driveway protection boards go under the container on every delivery. Given the 30-yard's greater weight at full load, this matters more here than on a 10 or 20-yard — we take extra care with board placement, especially on older Longview driveways poured without modern concrete thickness standards. Our 90-day structural guarantee covers your driveway surface for the full rental period. If your project requires street placement, contact the City of Longview Public Works at 933 Mobile Drive (903-237-1240) for a temporary placement permit. We coordinate permit applications for any job that needs one — flag it at booking.

30-Yard Dumpster Rental FAQs

What does a 30-yard dumpster cost in Longview, TX?

A 30-yard rental in Longview starts from $650 for a 7-day flat rate. That price includes delivery, pickup, a 4-ton (8,000 lb) weight allowance, and driveway protection boards — no day-rate billing, no pickup surcharges. Weight overages are charged per ton from the scale ticket at Pine Hill Landfill, 1102 Four South Industrial Boulevard, and the rate is disclosed before booking. For heavy-debris projects like roofing tear-offs with architectural shingles, where shingle weight commonly exceeds the 4-ton allowance within the 30-yard's volume, we provide a free pre-delivery weight estimate so you know what to budget before the truck arrives.

Is a 30-yard dumpster big enough for a full roof tear-off in Longview?

For a single-layer tear-off on a 1,500–2,500 sq ft home, the 30-yard handles the volume — but watch the weight. Architectural shingles run roughly 350 lbs per roofing square. A 30-square single-layer tear-off generates about 10,500 lbs, which exceeds the 4-ton included allowance. You will fit the shingles volumetrically, but overage charges apply on the weight. Standard 3-tab shingles at 230 lbs per square allow about 26 squares within the base allowance. Tell us your roof size and shingle type and we will give you a specific weight estimate before you book.

How many squares of shingles can I load before hitting the weight limit?

At the 4-ton (8,000 lb) base allowance: approximately 35 squares of standard 3-tab shingles (at ~230 lbs per square), or about 23 squares of architectural shingles (at ~350 lbs per square). Most Longview homes in the 1,500–2,000 sq ft range have 25–35 roofing squares, so plan for weight overage on any full tear-off with architectural shingles. Double-layer tear-offs roughly double the weight — split loads are standard for those jobs, regardless of container size.

Do I need a permit for a 30-yard dumpster in Longview, TX?

No permit is needed when the container sits on private driveway or property. Street or right-of-way placement requires a temporary permit from the City of Longview Public Works at 933 Mobile Drive — reachable at 903-237-1240. The 30-yard's 22-foot length is more likely to extend into the street on short residential driveways, so permit coordination is more common at this size than on a 10 or 20-yard. We handle the application when needed — flag it at booking so there is time before delivery day.

What is the difference between a 30-yard and a 20-yard dumpster?

Same 22-foot length and 8-foot width — the 30-yard stands 6 feet tall versus the 20-yard's 4.5 feet. That extra 1.5 feet of height translates to roughly 40–60 more trash bags of capacity (170–190 total versus 110–130). In project terms, it is the container that eliminates a mid-project swap on a full estate, a full roof, or a renovation where debris volume is uncertain. When scope is large or genuinely unclear, the fixed size premium beats the unpredictable cost of running short.

Can I extend my rental beyond 7 days?

Yes. If your project runs longer — a roofing job delayed by a Longview summer storm, a phased cleanout, or a renovation that stretched into a second week — call us before the rental window closes and we will arrange an extension at a per-day rate. No penalty for finishing early; no surprise fees at pickup. The 30-yard was designed for large jobs that sometimes do not go to schedule.
