Amherst dumpster planning notes
What Amherst's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older homes
Before 1980 is when 66% of Amherst'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.

Choosing a dumpster size in Amherst
Older Amherst homes produce heavy remodel debris, so a 15 or 20 yard with a weight allowance to match is a common choice; a 10 handles one room or a load of concrete.
Compare sizes: 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, 40 yard, or read what size dumpster you need.
