Think twice if you're planning
- Short driveways: it's as long as a 20-yard but taller, and heavier when full
- Heavy debris such as concrete or dirt: ask first
Tip
The extra height makes a 30-yard harder to load by hand. A walk-in rear door (most roll-offs have one) helps with furniture and long boards.
Loading a 30-yard well
- Put flat, heavy items in first and spread them across the floor.
- Break down furniture and stack boards flat to save space.
- Keep debris level with the top edge: an overfilled container can be refused.
- Keep paint, batteries, tires and chemicals out. See what can go in.
