What Clear Lake houses are made of
The median home in Clear Lake was built in 1973, across 4,499 housing units. That is seventies-and-eighties 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 Clear Lake dumpster bill
Clear Lake gets 35.2 inches of rain in a normal year, plus 41.2 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. 160 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 miles out.
