The median home in Tuscaloosa was built in 1988, across 51,197 housing units. That is nineties-era stock: drywall, engineered lumber and asphalt shingle. It fills a container by volume rather than weight, so the bigger size is usually the economical one unless you are tearing off a roof.
What the weather adds to a Tuscaloosa dumpster bill
Tuscaloosa gets 51.9 inches of rain in a normal year. 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. Ask for a tarp if it is going to stand through a wet week. NOAA 1991–2020 normals, from a station 1.8 miles out.
