Lancaster dumpster planning notes
What Lancaster's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
Before 1980 is when 86% of Lancaster'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.

About 12% of Lancaster's homes are detached and 36% are in multi-unit buildings, so placement varies street by street. Measure your spot before choosing a size.

See our dumpster permit guide for what to ask.
Which size fits Lancaster projects?
For remodels in Lancaster'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.
