Planning a dumpster in Charleston
What Charleston's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
With 79% of homes built before 1980, Charleston 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.

67% of homes in Charleston are detached houses, so most dumpsters here can sit on a driveway, which usually avoids the need for a street permit. Measure first: a 20 yard container is about 22 feet long.

About 46 inches of precipitation fall on Charleston in a typical year. Wet drywall, carpet and yard waste get heavy, so cover the container between loads.

Most driveway drops don't need a permit. If the container has to sit on a public street or sidewalk, contact the City of Charleston about a street-use permit first, and allow time for it to be issued.
See our dumpster permit guide for what to ask.
Which size fits Charleston projects?
For remodels in Charleston'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.
