Dumpster Rental in Campbell: What the Work Looks Like
Campbell incorporated in 1952 on land that had been prune and apricot orchards, drying yards and canneries, and most of the city was built in the next three decades. More of its housing went up between 1960 and 1979 than in any other period, and most single-family homes here are 1950s to 1970s ranch houses of roughly 1,000 to 1,600 square feet. Just under half the city's homes are detached single-family houses; the rest are townhomes, condos and apartments, many of them along Winchester, Bascom and Hamilton.
That means a lot of Campbell dumpster jobs are 60-year-old houses getting new roofs, kitchens, additions and backyard ADUs, plus newer infill near Downtown and the light rail stations: 90 condos proposed at 600 E. Campbell Ave, 74 townhome-style condos replacing an office building at 1500 E. Hamilton Ave, and affordable housing planned at the Winchester station.
Campbell is also one of the few South Bay cities with three light rail stations, at Hamilton, Downtown Campbell and Winchester, and the denser projects are clustering around them: 324 apartments proposed on the old Hick'ry Pit site at 980 E. Campbell Ave and 90 affordable homes at the Winchester station, with construction set for 2027. In San Tomas, on the southwest side, the lots are large and irregular and many streets have no standard curbs or sidewalks, which changes how a bin is placed.
