Allentown dumpster planning notes
What Allentown's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
With 82% of homes built before 1980, Allentown has plenty of older houses. Debris from older homes runs heavy (plaster, lath, tile, cast iron), so tell us what's coming out and we'll match the weight allowance.
