What to know about Wilmington dumpster jobs
What Wilmington's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
A lot of pre-1980 housing
With 79% of homes built before 1980, Wilmington has plenty of older houses. Debris from older homes runs heavy (plaster, lath, tile, cast iron), so tell us what's coming out and we'll match the weight allowance.

About 10% of Wilmington's homes are detached and 37% are in multi-unit buildings, so placement varies street by street. Measure your spot before choosing a size.

Wilmington gets roughly 45 inches of precipitation a year. Keep a tarp on the dumpster overnight; water adds weight you'd otherwise pay for.

For remodels in Wilmington's older homes, plan by weight: plaster and tile fill a 15 or 20 yard's allowance before its volume. Cleanouts of furniture and boxes go by volume instead.
