Planning a dumpster in Austin
What Austin's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Active home building
About 26% of Austin's homes date from 2010 or later. New construction and additions here usually call for a 30 or 40 yard container for framing, drywall and packaging waste.

43% of homes in Austin are in buildings with five or more units. Without a private driveway, a dumpster usually goes in a parking lot with the property manager's OK, or on the street with a city permit.
