Planning a dumpster in Minneapolis
What Minneapolis's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
A lot of pre-1980 housing
72% of homes in Minneapolis 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.

44% of homes in Minneapolis are in buildings with five or more units. Without a private driveway, a dumpster usually goes in a parking lot with the property manager's OK, or on the street with a city permit.

Expect about 51 inches of snow a year in Minneapolis. In winter, shovel the drop zone and the approach, and tarp the dumpster: packed snow counts as weight.
