What Shelby houses are made of
Shelby has 422 housing units with a median build year of 1938, 65% of them owner-occupied. Older stock is the harder kind to size for, because plaster and cast iron weigh far more per cubic yard than anything built since. Weight will cap the load before volume does.
What the weather adds to a Shelby dumpster bill
Shelby gets 33.5 inches of rain in a normal year, plus 30.3 inches of snow. None of that is your rubbish, but you pay to haul it, because the container is open to the sky and the load is weighed at the tip. 152 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 0.6 miles out.
