A median home from 1977
Half of Sacramento's homes were built before 1977 and half after. Typical projects for houses of that age, such as a kitchen update, a bath remodel or a new roof, usually fit a 10 to 20 yard container.

Sacramento's housing is mixed: 59% detached houses, 32% in buildings with two or more units. Whether you have a driveway decides the size that fits and whether a street permit comes into play.
