Loading a tall container
The walls are about 6 feet high. Many 30 yard containers have a rear swing door you can walk debris through. Load that end first so the door still closes. Start with heavy items at the back, then fill toward the door.
30 yard or 40 yard?
A 40 yard takes up the same ground space but is taller, and it's mainly used for construction and commercial work. For residential projects, a 30 yard is usually the largest you need. If it's still not enough, a swap-out is often cheaper than a bigger container.

How much does a 30 yard dumpster hold?
About 30 cubic yards, which is roughly nine pickup truck loads. That's usually enough for a whole-home cleanout of a typical 3 to 4 bedroom house.
Is a 30 yard dumpster too big for a driveway?
Its footprint is about the same as a 20 yard (around 22 by 7.5 feet); it's just taller. Most Phoenix driveways can take one if there's overhead clearance.
