What it costs

How this
gets priced

Construction debris is priced by weight, not volume, and that is the single most important difference between this and a household job. A pickup bed of shingles outweighs a full truck of furniture. Any hauler quoting concrete or roofing by the cubic yard is either guessing or about to revise the number, because the landfill charges them by the ton either way.

Construction Debris Removal — what drives the number
JobPriced byNotes
Drywall, lumber, general demoWeightMid-range; bulky but not dense
Roofing tear-offWeightHeavy — a square of shingles runs roughly 250 lbs for 3-tab and well over 400 for architectural
Concrete, brick, block, dirtWeightHeaviest material we take; often quoted per load
Mixed site cleanupWeightMetal pulled for recycling before the scale

We do not publish flat rates, because a hauler who quotes you a price before seeing the job is either padding it or planning to renegotiate in your driveway. Here is exactly how we build a number ›

For contractors

Why this beats
a roll-off

A dumpster makes sense when you are producing debris steadily for two weeks. It makes much less sense when you have one day of tear-out and then need the driveway back. A roll-off has to be delivered, permitted on some streets, sat on for the rental period, and picked up — and you are paying for the days it sits there empty.

We show up, load, and are gone the same day. Nothing occupies the driveway over a weekend, nothing needs a street permit, and the homeowner does not call you about the eyesore in front of their house.

For contractors running regular volume we will set up a standing arrangement rather than quoting each job cold — you text us a photo and an address and we tell you a price and a day. Insurance certificate available on request, which you will need anyway if you are working anywhere with a GC.

One caution: asbestos. Older flooring, siding, pipe wrap, and popcorn ceiling may contain it, and no hauler can legally move it. If the building predates 1985 and you are cutting into any of that, it needs testing first. We will stop and say so rather than load it.

Construction Debris Removal questions

Before
you book

Do you work with contractors on an ongoing basis?

Yes. Regular-volume contractors get a standing arrangement — text a photo and address, get a price and a day, no re-quoting from scratch each time. We can provide a certificate of insurance for your GC.

Why is concrete priced differently than furniture?

Because the landfill weighs the truck. Household junk is priced by the space it takes because it is light and bulky. Concrete, dirt, shingles, and tile are dense enough that a small pile costs more to dump than a full load of couches. Pricing them the same way would mean overcharging one and losing money on the other.

Can you take asbestos siding or old floor tile?

No. Asbestos abatement requires a licensed contractor and a different disposal pathway entirely. If the building is older and you are cutting into siding, pipe wrap, or nine-inch floor tile, get it tested first. We will flag it if we see it.

Is a truck really cheaper than a dumpster?

On a one-day tear-out, usually yes, because you are not paying for rental days or delivery and pickup. On a two-week project producing debris continuously, a roll-off is probably the better tool and we will tell you so.
