What 50013 living means for a junk pickup
Ames 50013 packs about 6,658 people per square mile, which makes this one of the denser ZIPs in Story County. Tight streets and shared driveways are common, so the crew plans for narrow access and limited turnaround space.
That density also means more multi-unit buildings where stairs and elevators are the only way in.
Winter buries whatever is in the yard, so it is usually spring before that load moves. With about 33 inches of snow a year, outdoor piles often wait for a thaw. The crew works in all seasons, but a cleared driveway makes the visit faster.
About 62 days a year bring measurable rain, and the area sees roughly 36 inches of precipitation annually. Wet weather can make paths slick and boxes heavy. The crew protects floors and walls, and the area is swept before they leave.

Squires, MO 65755 has about 68 percent single-family detached and about 51 percent built before 1980, with about 6 percent rented.
Compared with those areas, the density here in 50013 points to more apartments and shared walls, which changes how a crew reaches your load. Access is the main difference: a driveway in Squires versus a stairwell in this ZIP.
When you call, mention whether your pickup starts at a curb or an upper floor so the crew comes prepared.
