What to know about Lewiston dumpster jobs
What Lewiston's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
A lot of pre-1980 housing
80% of homes in Lewiston 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.

About 43% of Lewiston's homes are detached and 51% are in multi-unit buildings, so placement varies street by street. Measure your spot before choosing a size.

Lewiston gets roughly 50 inches of precipitation a year. Keep a tarp on the dumpster overnight; water adds weight you'd otherwise pay for.

Lewiston has about 151 nights a year at or below freezing. A dry, covered load won't freeze to the steel and empties cleanly at the disposal site.

Driveway or private lot: usually no permit. Street, sidewalk or alley: usually a right-of-way permit from the City of Lewiston, typically through public works or transportation. Ask before delivery day, and check HOA rules too.
See our dumpster permit guide for what to ask.
Choosing a dumpster size in Lewiston
For remodels in Lewiston'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.
