What Salem houses are made of
The median home in Salem was built in 1977, across 113 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 Salem dumpster bill
Salem gets 63.8 inches of rain in a normal year, plus 2.7 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. 99 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 3.3 miles out.
