What to know about Richmond dumpster jobs
What Richmond's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
Before 1980 is when 66% of Richmond'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.

About 60% of Richmond's homes are detached and 31% are in multi-unit buildings, so placement varies street by street. Measure your spot before choosing a size.
