What South Portland houses are made of
South Portland has 12,738 housing units with a median build year of 1964, 60% 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 South Portland dumpster bill
South Portland gets 47.2 inches of rain in a normal year, plus 61.9 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. 142 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 1.1 miles out.
