Planning a dumpster in Redwood City
What Redwood City's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
64% of homes in Redwood City 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.

35% of homes in Redwood City are in buildings with five or more units. Without a private driveway, a dumpster usually goes in a parking lot with the property manager's OK, or on the street with a city permit.
