Planning a dumpster in Buffalo
What Buffalo's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
A lot of pre-1980 housing
90% of homes in Buffalo 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.

About 36% of Buffalo's homes are detached and 60% are in multi-unit buildings, so placement varies street by street. Measure your spot before choosing a size.

57% of occupied homes in Buffalo are rented. Landlords and property managers often book dumpsters for move-out cleanouts and unit turnovers; tell us the deadline and we book around it.

Expect about 95 inches of snow a year in Buffalo. In winter, shovel the drop zone and the approach, and tarp the dumpster: packed snow counts as weight.

Driveway or private lot: usually no permit. Street, sidewalk or alley: usually a right-of-way permit from the City of Buffalo, typically through public works or transportation. Ask before delivery day, and check HOA rules too.
See our dumpster permit guide for what to ask.
Choosing a dumpster size in Buffalo
For remodels in Buffalo's older homes, plan by weight: plaster and tile fill a 15 or 20 yard's allowance before its volume. Cleanouts of furniture and boxes go by volume instead.
Compare sizes: 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, 40 yard, or read what size dumpster you need.
