Concrete

Building, renovating, and demolition creates a lot of debris. Concrete waste is heavy and bulky and ties up human resources and equipment from a job site for disposal. Some landfills will take the material; others may not. The EPA considers anything with a pH of 12.5 or greater as corrosive, and thus hazardous. By definition, waste concrete is a hazardous waste, and some dumps may refuse it.

Residential or business concrete waste is often used as backfill, taken to a dump, or even recycled. If you need concrete waste disposal, give our experts a call. We’ll remove and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way.

What to Do With Concrete Junk

Getting rid of concrete junk can be frustrating. Whether it’s a small pile of material left over from a DIY sidewalk repair, a rock solid bag of mix that got damp, or debris from renovating or building a larger project, it has to go somewhere. Depending on where you live, it can be used for backfill, taken to a landfill, or recycled and reused elsewhere.

Before you try to get rid of it, give us a call for a price on concrete trash pickup. We already know where it can go, and we’ll load it up and haul it away.

How to Get Rid of Concrete Debris

Concrete is a bulky item pickup; even small amounts are a heavy cleanout. Loading them into a trailer or truck may be OK if you have one. Once loaded, you need to find a place to dispose of it. Your local landfill may take the debris, but they may not due to the EPA.

Many gravel or construction companies stockpile concrete junk for backfill on future projects, so you could check with them. Larger municipalities may have recycling plants that will crush your concrete and reuse it for projects too. If it all seems more work than you want, contact our professional teams for concrete debris removal. We’ll take care of it all.

Where Can I Take Concrete to Dump

Concrete trash means heavy, large items for disposal. It can be difficult for large or small construction and renovation businesses to get rid of, and even more so for the homeowner. The local landfill may accept concrete debris, or you can check and see if someone requires it for backfill. Large construction companies may accept it, as may gravel on concrete companies. They’ll often use it for projects. Some waste transfer sites have a separate spot for concrete debris, and you may be able to recycle it too.

The weight and coarseness of concrete make it heavy abrasive trash to haul and load up. Not something you want in your trunk! Call on our services to haul away a concrete load.

Can Concrete Waste Be Recycled?

Concrete rubble can be recycled and repurposed, and as environmental protection and resource concerns increase, it becomes more feasible. Larger construction and gravel companies, and even municipalities, stockpile concrete debris to reduce costs of future projects. The larger material can be used as fill for roads, retaining walls, and other projects. When run through a crusher, the smaller recycled aggregate can be used for the same purpose crushed stone or gravel is used.

Concrete recycling is a cost-saving repurpose of concrete waste. It saves on the harvesting of natural resource, extends the life of quarries, and reduces the cost of materials for future construction projects. However, collecting and trucking waste concrete from a job site takes workers and equipment away from their original purpose. Arrange for our professionals to collect, haul, and dispose of your concrete debris in an eco-friendly way.
