Elizabeth dumpster planning notes
What Elizabeth's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
Before 1980 is when 73% of Elizabeth's homes went up. Gutting an older kitchen or bath usually means plaster walls, old tile and heavy fixtures, so a 15 or 20 yard with the right weight allowance is safer than the smallest size.

Buildings with five or more units hold 33% of Elizabeth'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.
