Galveston dumpster planning notes
What Galveston's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
A lot of pre-1980 housing
Before 1980 is when 61% of Galveston'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.

31% of homes in Galveston 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.

Galveston averages about 47 inches of precipitation a year. Rain-soaked debris weighs more, so tarp the dumpster when you're not loading it and plan roof tear-offs around dry days.
