Local Insight: Evanston

Evanston's historic housing stock — Victorian homes, brick two-flats, and large Craftsman bungalows built before 1940 — means remodel dumpsters frequently contain heavy plaster lathe, old-growth lumber, and brick. These materials weigh significantly more than modern drywall and framing, so 10-yard dumpsters are often the right call for a single-room gut. Northwestern University's campus also generates seasonal move-out volume each May and August.
