What the 30-yard is for
About nine to ten pickup-truck loads. New construction, room additions, whole-home cleanouts, estate houses, and tenant-improvement debris. The walls are taller, so bulky furniture and roofing bundles sit inside the box instead of stacked above the rim. If the pile includes both a roof and a gutted kitchen, start here.
The published card at the Brooksville yard is $600 for a 20-yard roll-off with 3.5 tons included, and $700 for a 30-yard roll-off with 4.5 tons included. Both include 14 days. A day past that window is $10. A ton past the allowance is $55. The heavy-duty concrete can is the same 20-yard box, quoted by the load because concrete hits the tonnage limit before it fills the rim. Contractor and repeat-account pricing is quoted off this card, not invented on the website.
The 30-yard needs more driveway than the 20-yard because it is 22 feet long. Measure the straight run before you book. Overhead wires and low tree limbs stop the truck even when the ground is fine. A photo of the drop spot saves a dry run.
Every truck leaves 16297 Cortez Blvd, Brooksville, FL 34601. The dispatch number is (352) 238-3147. There is no second office in Spring Hill, Tampa, or anywhere else on the list. Same- or next-business-day is the scheduling goal once the street address is known. It is not a promise that ignores drive time or a full board.
Swaps on a live job
A construction site that fills a 30-yard in a few days should book a swap, not a second company. The same driver pulls the full can and sets an empty one. The 14-day clock and the 4.5-ton allowance apply to each can. Weight tickets are how an overage is explained. If you are a general contractor running more than one address, the account is still this office in Brooksville.
Jobs that belong in a 30-yard
A whole-house cleanout where the furniture, the carpet, and the kitchen are leaving together. An addition that produces framing offcuts, sheathing, drywall, and packaging for more than a week. A roof tear-off combined with any interior work. Estate houses where the family cannot sort nine rooms into one 16-foot box.
Nine to ten pickup loads is the working size. The box is 22 feet long, so it needs a straight run the 20-yard does not. Walk it before you book. A 20-foot driveway with a carport column at the end is a 20-yard job even if the debris wants the larger can. In that case the plan is two 20-yard drops or a street set, not a 30-yard that cannot be placed.
The walls are 6 feet. Bulky couches and mattresses drop inside instead of riding on top. That is also why a homeowner who is loading alone may prefer the 20-yard: the throw is lower. If a crew is loading, the 6-foot wall is not a problem and the extra volume is the point.
Weight, swaps, and the 14-day clock
4.5 tons is included in the $700. A cleanout of furniture and household trash is usually volume-limited, not weight-limited. A 30-yard of roofing tile, dirt, or block is weight-limited and will owe $55 for every ton past 4.5. Tell dispatch if the load is dense. The heavy-duty can exists so a dense load is quoted before it is on the scale.
On a construction site the 30-yard is a swap can. When it is full, the same driver pulls it and sets another. Each can has its own 14 days and its own 4.5 tons. Do not treat a swap as a free extension of the first ticket. If the site will need three cans across a month, say that when the account is opened so the board has the empties.
Extra days are $10, the same as the 20-yard. A 30-yard that sits a month is 16 extra days, $160, on top of the $700. That is still cheaper than a second rental if the can is only half full and the job is slow. If it is full on day 6, swap it. Paying days on a full can does not create more room.
Placement
The driver needs overhead clearance for the tilt and a surface that will hold the truck. Soft Florida yards after rain will rut. If the only spot is lawn, ask for boards and accept that a set may wait for a drier morning. New concrete and pavers should be mentioned before the truck arrives.
Street sets may need a permit from that city. We flag it. We do not assume a Brooksville rule applies in Tampa or a Pasco subdivision. The office number is (352) 238-3147, and the can still comes from 16297 Cortez Blvd no matter which county is on the permit.
Decide with pickup loads, not with a guess
Walk the debris and count it the way the card does. One pickup load is a level truck bed, not a truck with plywood sides piled past the cab. Six or seven of those is the 20-yard, which we also list for a full-house cleanout and a mid-size roof. Nine or ten is this can. If you are counting rooms instead of loads, an estate or a new addition is why the 30-yard exists. A single kitchen is usually not.
The 22-foot length is the constraint people skip. A driveway that accepted a 20-yard last year may not accept this box. Measure the straight run. If it is short, book the 20-yard and a second drop rather than a 30-yard that cannot be placed. Street placement is the other option, and it may need a permit from that city. Ask when you call. The office is (352) 238-3147.
On a job site, order the swap when the load is at the rim, not the next day. Each swap is its own $700, its own 4.5 tons, and its own 14 days. Extra days on a can that is already full do not add space. They add $10 a day while the crew waits. Weight past 4.5 tons is $55 a ton. Furniture and packaging rarely get there. Tile, dirt, and block do. Those belong in a conversation about the heavy-duty can before they go in this one.
The truck leaves 16297 Cortez Blvd in Brooksville whether the set is in Hernando or farther out on the nine-county map. The price on the card does not pick up a city surcharge. The window does move with the drive.
Who should not order the 30-yard
A single-room remodel, a small garage, or any driveway that cannot hold 22 feet of box. Those jobs are the 20-yard at $600, which is also the can we list for a full-house cleanout and a mid-size roof. Ordering this can and then finding it will not fit wastes the delivery window. Measure first. If the debris is concrete, neither standard can is the right quote. Ask for the heavy-duty 20-yard.
Homeowners loading alone sometimes want the lower wall of the 20-yard even when the volume wants this one. A crew loading a 6-foot wall does not have that problem. Say who is loading when you call so the recommendation matches the people on site, not a photo of an empty driveway.
Rim, scale, and the pull
Stop at the rim. Call when you are done or when you need a swap. The $700 includes 4.5 tons and 14 days. The scale decides the rest at $55 a ton, and the calendar decides extra days at $10. The box is 22 by 7.5 by 6 feet. If that footprint does not fit, the 20-yard is the can that does.
