What it covers

Clear the floor, keep the job moving

Debris stalls a jobsite. Drywall scrap in the hallway, a pile of torn out cabinets in the garage, pallets and packaging stacked outside the door. We show up, load it out of the space it is sitting in and haul it off, so the next crew walks into a clear floor instead of working around a pile.

Remodelers, flippers, property managers and homeowners running their own project all use this the same way. The photos below came off a commercial office interior in Austin that was stripped out and cleared: glass panels, drywall sheets, plywood, cardboard and rubber wall base.

If part of it still has to come down first, that is the same crew. See interior demolition and deck removal.

Debris we load

  • Drywall, sheetrock scrap and joint compound buckets, empty
  • Framing lumber, plywood, OSB and trim
  • Torn out cabinets, counters and vanities
  • Flooring: carpet, pad, laminate, hardwood, tile
  • Roofing shingles, felt and decking
  • Old windows, doors and frames
  • Siding, fascia, soffit and fencing material
  • Insulation, ductwork and rubber wall base
  • Concrete, brick and block in weight limited loads
  • Pallets, cardboard, banding and jobsite packaging
  • Office build out debris: glass panels, cubicle walls, ceiling grid
  • General jobsite trash from the crew

What we cannot take

Asbestos containing material is the big one on older buildings. Popcorn texture, nine by nine floor tile, pipe wrap and some sheet flooring from before the eighties need testing and a licensed abatement contractor. We do not load suspected asbestos, and neither should anybody else without the license for it.

Also off the trailer: wet paint, solvents, adhesives and fuel, pressurized cylinders, contaminated soil and medical waste. Those need a licensed disposal route.

Concrete, brick, tile and dirt are fine, but they are weight jobs. Tell us before the truck rolls so the load gets split correctly the first time.

Pricing

Volume and weight together

Construction debris is the one category where weight drives the price as much as volume. A trailer of framing scrap and a trailer of mortar covered tile look similar from the driveway and cost very differently at the landfill scale.

The other factor is where the pile sits. Debris staged in the driveway loads fast. Debris spread across three rooms upstairs does not.

Call (210) 723-9325 with the material and rough amount, or send photos of the site, and you get a real number for the load.

Construction debris questions

How much does construction debris removal cost?
It runs off volume and weight together. Framing lumber and cardboard fill the trailer without weighing much. Tile, mortar, shingles and concrete hit the weight limit long before the trailer looks full, and the landfill charges by the ton. Call (210) 723-9325 and say what the material is and roughly how much, and you get a number.
Can you haul concrete, brick and dirt?
In weight limited loads, yes. Heavy material has to be loaded thin across the trailer instead of piled, so it usually takes more trips than the same volume of lumber. Say up front that it is concrete or dirt so the job gets planned right instead of turning into a second trip nobody priced.
What about asbestos or suspected asbestos material?
We do not touch it. Popcorn ceiling texture, nine by nine floor tile, old pipe wrap and some sheet flooring in buildings from before the eighties can contain asbestos. That material has to be tested and abated by a licensed contractor before anything else happens on the jobsite. Same for lead paint debris and anything wet with solvent or fuel.
Do you do the demolition as well as the haul off?
Yes. That is the difference here. Cabinets, flooring, drywall, fixtures and non structural walls come out and leave on the same trailer. See interior demolition for the tear out side.
Do you work with contractors and remodelers?
Jobsite loads are regular work. The Austin photos on this page are a commercial office interior that had to be cleared between trades. Call and set up the trip that fits your schedule instead of leaving a dumpster in the lot for two weeks.
