Dumpster rental in Southport, CT

A local truck, not a broker

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

Southport is part of Fairfield, which has about 22,500 homes; 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 Fairfield home 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 Southport

What is different about Southport placements

• The old village runs from the railroad down to the Mill River and Southport Harbor, between Old South Road and Rose Hill Road, along Harbor Road, Main Street, Westway Road, and Church Street. It is a compact grid of very old homes, some from before 1766, so placements usually need careful positioning.
• Work here is mostly careful renovation of old houses, where plaster, lath, and old millwork make loads heavy for their size. Size by weight; the 20 yard’s 2 tons is the usual pick over a 12.
• Mature trees line the village streets. Check the limbs over your driveway entrance; the truck needs about 20 feet of clearance.

Storms, floods, and cleanups in Southport

• In Sandy, flooding pushed inland along the Fairfield shore and up the Mill River, which empties into Southport Harbor, and the regional hazard plan says a Category 2 or 3 hurricane would flood parts of Southport. Harbor Road sits right at the water. For homes near the harbor or river, time the container around storm forecasts and high tides.

What Southport curbside pickup will not take

• Fairfield has no town trash pickup beyond a four-week fall leaf collection, in paper bags at the curb; bags behind stone walls or fences are skipped. Plan where both the leaf bags and the container go without blocking the frontage.

Timing your Southport rental

• Station Street and Center Street around the Southport train station fill with commuter traffic on weekday mornings. Midday deliveries in the station area go more smoothly.
