The houses in Fairfield, and what they mean for your dumpster

Fairfield has about 22,500 homes, and the typical one was built around 1960. 46% were built between 1940 and 1969: the postwar capes, ranches, and colonials that are now due for new kitchens, baths, and roofs. About 77% are single-family detached houses, with the rest split among condos, townhouses, and multifamilies.

• Count roof layers. Many postwar roofs were re-shingled right over the original layer. For a single layer, figure about 5 to 8 squares in a 12 yard and 10 to 16 in a 20 yard; a two-layer tear-off fits roughly half that, so size by squares and layers, not by how the pile looks.
• Check for asbestos first. About 74% of Fairfield homes were built before 1980, when asbestos still turned up in floor tile, pipe insulation, and some siding and roofing. Asbestos cannot go in any dumpster: have suspect material tested, and removed by a licensed abatement contractor, before demolition starts.
• Cleanouts. The median home here has 7 rooms, big by Connecticut standards. A full cleanout usually means a 30 yard, sometimes with a scheduled swap for a second one; book the swap early rather than overfilling.

Know before you book in Fairfield

From our yard

Fairfield is about 13 miles and 19 minutes from 81 Munson Street by road, which is why it sits on our regular routes.

Paint and chemicals

Fairfield holds an annual Household Hazardous Waste day for residents at Veterans Park, with registration required and no walk-ins, and sends paint to Sherwin-Williams or other PaintCare drop-off sites.

What is different about Fairfield placements

• Greenfield Hill is two-acre wooded lots with large colonials, and Mill Plain has older homes set close to the street under mature trees. Long wooded drives and big trees can block the roughly 20 feet of overhead clearance the truck needs, so check branches and wires at the drop spot.
• Tunxis Hill grew right after World War I on small lots, with lots of two-, three-, and four-family homes on a dense street grid. There, a smaller container that fits fully in the driveway beats working a big one around parked cars.
• The beach area is densely built on lots of a quarter acre or less, with many two-families, and it has changed a lot through rebuilding after Sandy. Beach rebuilds and teardowns are common; share the driveway size when you book.

Storms, floods, and cleanups in Fairfield

• Fairfield’s coastal floodplain, from Sasco Hill to Ash Creek, holds thousands of houses and flooded entirely in Superstorm Sandy, and the September 2018 Rooster River flood hit inland homes too. Both beach and Rooster River owners should plan on fast flood cleanouts; wet debris is heavy, so size by weight.
• Fairfield used a state hazard mitigation grant to help owners raise homes above flood elevation, and all of that money has been awarded. Raising and flood-proofing a house generates large volumes of debris, the kind of job 20 and 30 yard containers are built for.

What Fairfield curbside pickup will not take

• All trash, recycling, and yard waste in Fairfield goes through private haulers; the only town curbside service is a free four-week fall leaf pickup. There is no town bulky pickup to wait for, so a container is the simplest way to clear a house or a project.

Timing your Fairfield rental

• From the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, street parking on many roads near the beaches is limited to pass holders, and that covers residents, guests, and contractors parked in front of their own homes, and the Fairfield Beach Road area has tow zones. For a summer beach-area job, keep the container and the crew’s trucks on the property.
• In a snow emergency, the police have banned parking on beach-area evacuation routes such as Reef Road, Fairfield Beach Road, Rowland Road, Penfield Road, and Beach Road until plowing is done. On those streets, the container and cars have to fit off the road in a winter storm.

“Summit Carting was the easiest part of the project. They came on time, they were reasonable with the rates, and very professional. I have a tricky driveway; it was no issue. They were wonderful to work with.”
