La Mesa dumpster planning notes
What La Mesa's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
A lot of pre-1980 housing
With 73% of homes built before 1980, La Mesa has plenty of older houses. Debris from older homes runs heavy (plaster, lath, tile, cast iron), so tell us what's coming out and we'll match the weight allowance.

Buildings with five or more units hold 36% of La Mesa's homes. If you don't have a driveway, a smaller 10 or 15 yard container is easier to fit in a lot or on the street.

La Mesa averages only about 11 inches of precipitation a year. Dust and wind are the bigger issue: cover light debris such as insulation and packaging so it stays in the container.
