Planning a dumpster in Burlington
What Burlington's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
With 72% of homes built before 1980, Burlington 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.

Buildings with five or more units hold 33% of Burlington's homes. If you don't have a driveway, a smaller 10 or 15 yard container is easier to fit in a lot or on the street.

Expect about 88 inches of snow a year in Burlington. In winter, shovel the drop zone and the approach, and tarp the dumpster: packed snow counts as weight.
