Planning a dumpster in Los Angeles
What Los Angeles's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older homes
70% of homes in Los Angeles were built before 1980. Remodels and cleanouts in older homes often turn up plaster, lath, cast-iron fixtures and layers of old flooring. Those are heavy, so mention them when you call: they count against the weight allowance.

Buildings with five or more units hold 48% of Los Angeles'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.

Los Angeles averages only about 13 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.
