What Wilmington houses are made of
The median home in Wilmington was built in 1946, across 35,772 housing units. That is postwar stock, which means plaster, lath and cast iron rather than drywall and PVC. It is heavy for its volume, so a Wilmington gut job hits the weight allowance well before it fills the container, and the smaller size is usually the right call.
What the weather adds to a Wilmington dumpster bill
Wilmington gets 49.3 inches of rain in a normal year, plus 10.8 inches of snow. An open container catches all of it, and the weight goes on the scale ticket with the rest of the load. 84 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 1.3 miles out.
