The houses in Stevenson, and what they mean for your dumpster
Stevenson is part of Monroe, which has about 6,600 homes; the typical one was built around 1978. The mix runs from 7% built before 1940 to 9% built since 2000, with the biggest share from the 1960s through the 1980s. 86% are single-family detached houses, so nearly every job here has its own driveway to work with. 96% of households own their home.
- Bulky, not heavy. Newer houses mean drywall, cabinets, carpet, and flooring. Those fill space long before they hit the weight allowance, so if you are between sizes, go up one for the room.
- Check for asbestos first. About 53% of Monroe 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 Monroe home has 7.4 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 Stevenson
- From our yard
- Stevenson is about 21 miles and 36 minutes from 81 Munson Street by road, which is why it sits on our regular routes.
- Paint and chemicals
- Stevenson is part of Monroe, which shares one hazardous waste day a year with Trumbull and Easton, held in 2026 on October 3 at Indian Ledge Park in Trumbull. Paint goes to PaintCare drop-off sites between events.
What is different about Stevenson placements
- Monroe has no town sewer, so Stevenson homes rely on septic and many on private wells. Locate the tank, leach field, and well before the truck backs in.
- Stevenson sits by Lake Zoar and the 1919 Stevenson Dam, whose bridge links Monroe to Oxford. Lakeside streets near the dam are tighter and steeper than inland Monroe, so share photos of the access route.
- Nearly 86 percent of Monroe homes are single-family, most built from the 1960s through the 1980s. Many Stevenson houses are due for roofs, kitchens, baths, and basements.
Storms, floods, and cleanups in Stevenson
- The August 18, 2024 storm is now considered a 1,000-year event, with 16 inches of rain recorded around Lake Zoar and Stevenson Dam. Route 34 across from the dam was closed for about nine days, and Cottage Street and Turkey Roost Road needed major repairs. Flood repair debris is wet and heavy, and steep side streets drain hard, so the container should never sit at the bottom of a slope or near a culvert.
What Stevenson curbside pickup will not take
- Monroe’s free bulky pickup is one appointment per home per year and refuses tile, shingles, sheetrock, insulation, concrete, stone, and brush. Renovation debris is exactly what a dumpster is for.
Timing your Stevenson rental
- Monroe bans parking on public roads during and after winter storms, with towing. The state plows Route 34 and the town plows local roads, main roads first and cul-de-sacs last, so expect cul-de-sac pickups to wait until the plows are through.
