Older housing stock
With 74% of homes built before 1980, New Orleans 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.

Keep the dumpster on private property and you usually skip the permit. If it has to go on the street in New Orleans, LA, start with the official right-of-way permit page:
- Services - Permits & Licenses - Street & Sidewalk - Dumpster or Storage Container Permit - City of New Orleans (City of New Orleans, link checked 2026-10-13)
We link to the official page and don't summarize its rules, which can change. See also our dumpster permit guide.
Choosing a dumpster size in New Orleans
For remodels in New Orleans'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.
Compare sizes: 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, 40 yard, or read what size dumpster you need.
