What to know about Trenton dumpster jobs
What Trenton's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older homes
Before 1980 is when 79% of Trenton'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.

16% of homes in Trenton are detached houses and 40% are in buildings with two or more units. Check whether you have driveway room or will need street placement before delivery day.

Trenton averages about 46 inches of precipitation a year. Rain-soaked debris weighs more, so tarp the dumpster when you're not loading it and plan roof tear-offs around dry days.
