What Backus houses are made of
167 housing units sit in Backus, median build year 1968. Stock that age is drywall and engineered lumber, light for its bulk, so volume is the constraint rather than weight. The exception is a roof: shingles are heavy enough to change the answer on their own.
What the weather adds to a Backus dumpster bill
Backus gets 27.7 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. 171 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 8.5 miles out.
