Santa Clara dumpster planning notes
What Santa Clara's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
Before 1980 is when 59% of Santa Clara'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.

In Santa Clara, 45% of homes are in buildings of five or more units. For apartments and condos, plan the spot early: a lot space approved by management, or street placement with a permit.
