Courtland sits between Tidewater Drive and Princess Anne Road with a mix of 1940s-1960s brick and frame homes on narrow lots. Many properties back up to drainage ditches that fill quickly during summer storms, so we stage dumpsters on the street side where the ground stays firmer. From our base at 1017 Tunstall Ave we reach Courtland addresses in under ten minutes, which keeps delivery windows tight even when traffic backs up near the Berkley Bridge on-ramp.
Hot humid summers turn asphalt soft by midday, so we place plywood under dumpster wheels on Courtland driveways to prevent sinking. Older homes here often lack wide turnarounds, meaning we use 10- and 15-yard containers that fit between mature trees and utility poles without blocking the sidewalk. Residents doing kitchen gut-outs or attic cleanouts appreciate same-week swaps before the next round of afternoon thunderstorms rolls in from the Elizabeth River.

Dumpster Rental in Courtland — Local Notes
- •Courtland lots are typically 50-60 feet wide with driveways that slope toward the street, so we set dumpsters on the uphill side to keep lids draining during heavy summer rains.
- •Many homes sit close to the Lafayette River tidal influence; high water tables mean we avoid soft shoulder placement and stick to paved surfaces after checking with Norfolk Public Works for any overnight street restrictions.
- •Narrow alleys behind blocks of Courtland Avenue houses require the truck to approach from Princess Anne Road only, so we schedule deliveries before 10 a.m. to miss school traffic at nearby Richard Bowling Elementary.
