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

Prospect has about 3,700 homes, and the typical one was built around 1974. The mix runs from 9% built before 1940 to 19% built since 2000, with the biggest share from the 1960s through the 1980s. 85% are single-family detached houses, so nearly every job here has its own driveway to work with. 93% of households own their home.

• Tell us the house age. Mixed-era housing means mixed debris. Give us the project and roughly when the house was built when you book, and we will point you to the size that fits.
• Check for asbestos first. About 56% of Prospect 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 6.3 rooms. A whole-house cleanout at that size usually calls for a 30 yard; one floor, a garage, or a basement fits a 20.

Know before you book in Prospect

From our yard

Prospect is about 25 miles and 37 minutes from 81 Munson Street by road, which is why it sits on our regular routes.

Paint and chemicals

Prospect residents can use the NVCOG region’s three free hazardous waste and paint events a year with proof of residency, and PaintCare drop-off sites in between. None of it can go in our dumpster.

What is different about Prospect placements

• About 90 percent of Prospect homes are single-family houses, and much of the stock went up in the 1960s through the 1990s. Kitchens, baths, roofs, and decks in those houses are the typical job, almost always with a private driveway.
• The town runs from rolling valleys to steep, hilly uplands, and about two-thirds of it is forested. Expect sloped driveways and tree cover: the container needs a level spot and the truck about 20 feet of clearance overhead.
• Town sewers reach only the edges of Prospect, so most homes are on septic. Show us the tank and leach field; the container and truck stay off both.
• The north end along Route 69 is the most densely built part of town. Lots are tighter there, so measure the driveway before picking a size.

Storms, floods, and cleanups in Prospect

• Tropical Storm Isaias caused significant damage in Prospect, with power out for about a week, and Irene left storm debris for town crews to clear. Storm cleanups bring a rush on containers, so book soon after a big wind event.
• The undersized Mountain Brook culvert under Plank Road has flooded into nearby yards. Low lawns near brooks stay soft after rain, so the container goes on the firmest part of the driveway.

Timing your Prospect rental

• A stretch of Route 68 near the Public Works garage is known locally as Accident Alley for its sharp turn, steep grade, and black ice, and Terry Road has icing problems too. Winter deliveries on steep, icy roads may need a flexible day.
