What to know about Alameda dumpster jobs
What Alameda's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
Before 1980 is when 73% of Alameda's homes went up. Gutting an older kitchen or bath usually means plaster walls, old tile and heavy fixtures, so a 15 or 20 yard with the right weight allowance is safer than the smallest size.

In Alameda, 30% of homes are in buildings of five or more units. For apartments and condos, plan the spot early: a lot space approved by management, or street placement with a permit.

Driveway or private lot: usually no permit. Street, sidewalk or alley: usually a right-of-way permit from the City of Alameda, typically through public works or transportation. Ask before delivery day, and check HOA rules too.
See our dumpster permit guide for what to ask.
Choosing a dumpster size in Alameda
For Alameda's apartments and condos, smaller is often smarter: a 10 or 15 yard fits a parking space or curb lane. Houses with driveways can take the usual 20.
