What to know about Lakewood dumpster jobs
What Lakewood's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
A lot of pre-1980 housing
Before 1980 is when 89% of Lakewood'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.

80% of homes in Lakewood are detached houses, so most dumpsters here can sit on a driveway, which usually avoids the need for a street permit. Measure first: a 20 yard container is about 22 feet long.
