Santa Barbara dumpster planning notes
What Santa Barbara's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
74% of homes in Santa Barbara 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 30% of Santa Barbara'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.
