What the weather adds to a Richmond dumpster bill
Richmond gets 43.6 inches of rain in a normal year, plus 10.3 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. 74 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 miles out.
