Pontiac dumpster planning notes
What Pontiac's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older homes
75% of homes in Pontiac 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.
