What to know about Fort Lauderdale dumpster jobs
What Fort Lauderdale's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older homes
65% of homes in Fort Lauderdale 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.

In Fort Lauderdale, 49% 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.

Fort Lauderdale averages about 57 inches of precipitation a year. Rain-soaked debris weighs more, so tarp the dumpster when you're not loading it and plan roof tear-offs around dry days.

Fort Lauderdale sees about 93 days a year at 90°F or hotter. Roofers and remodelers often work from first light in summer, so have the dumpster in place the evening before.

Keep the dumpster on private property and you usually skip the permit. If it has to go on the street in Fort Lauderdale, FL, start with the official right-of-way permit page:

Where space is tight, as in much of Fort Lauderdale, a 10 or 15 yard container is easier to place in a lot or on the street. Whole-house cleanouts and big remodels still call for a 20.
Compare sizes: 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, 40 yard, or read what size dumpster you need.
