Pickup conditions across the 78728 ZIP code
Bookings here spread evenly through the year rather than bunching after a thaw. With about 0 inches of snow a year and about 48 days with measurable rain, weather rarely forces a reschedule, so the same-day and next-day pickup windows tend to hold.
The housing stock in this ZIP is newer than in many parts of Austin. The median year built is 1996, and about 23 percent of homes went up in 2010 or later.
Newer buildings often mean wider hallways and elevators, but they also mean lighter interior walls, so the crew still pads and protects as they move heavy items.
About 36 percent of homes are single-family detached, so a fair number of jobs do start at a driveway. About 13,878 housing units sit on about 7.7 square miles, a density of roughly 3,455 people per square mile, which keeps driveways short and doorways close together.
How 78728 compares with other ZIP codes

Every load gets sorted before disposal. Usable furniture and goods are donated to local charities, while metal, electronics, and green waste are routed for recycling.
The crew cannot take hazardous materials, including paint, chemicals, solvents, and asbestos. Ask before the visit if you are unsure about an item, and they will tell you what they can handle.
What remains after donation and recycling is disposed of properly. The goal is to keep as much as possible out of the landfill.
