What Athens houses are made of
Athens has 12,192 housing units with a median build year of 1986, 63% of them owner-occupied. Newer stock is light for its bulk, so the limit is usually how much fits rather than what it weighs. Roofing is the one job that flips that round.
What the weather adds to a Athens dumpster bill
Athens gets 56.9 inches of rain in a normal year, plus 1.1 inches of snow. A roll-off sits open, so that lands in the container and the truck weighs it on the way to the tip. You pay for the water by the ton along with everything you meant to throw out. 62 days a year drop below freezing, and a wet load that freezes is heavier and harder to tip. Tell the hauler if the container has frozen to the driveway before they send a truck. Ask for a tarp if it is going to stand through a wet week. NOAA 1991–2020 normals, from a station 2.3 miles out.
