What to know about Evanston dumpster jobs
What Evanston's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
A lot of pre-1980 housing
With 76% of homes built before 1980, Evanston 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.

Buildings with five or more units hold 50% of Evanston'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.
