What to know about Erie dumpster jobs
What Erie's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
With 89% of homes built before 1980, Erie 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.

Erie's housing is mixed: 61% detached houses, 35% in buildings with two or more units. Whether you have a driveway decides the size that fits and whether a street permit comes into play.

On a driveway or other private property you usually don't need a permit. Placing a dumpster on a street, sidewalk or alley usually needs a right-of-way or street-use permit; check with the City of Erie (public works or transportation) before street placement. HOAs can have their own rules.
See our dumpster permit guide for what to ask.
Choosing a dumpster size in Erie
For remodels in Erie'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.
