Heavy Debris Needs the Right Truck
A small pile of broken concrete can weigh more than a full room of furniture. Our Ram 5500 with a dump body and our Big Tex dump trailers are made for dense material. Dumping at the facility is quick, which keeps each trip efficient.
When the pile is big or far from the street, our Bobcat skid steer can move material to the truck instead of carrying it by hand. On tight lots, a Kubota mini excavator can reach over walls and into narrow yards.
Types of Construction Debris We Haul
Here is what typically fills our trucks on construction and remodeling jobs.
- Concrete from driveways, patios, slabs and footings, including rebar
- Brick, block, stone and pavers
- Asphalt from driveways and parking areas
- Framing lumber, plywood, decking and fencing
- Drywall, plaster and lath
- Roofing material from tear-offs
- Tile, countertops, cabinets and fixtures from remodels
- Dirt and soil from grading or excavation
Sorting Debris for Recycling in Los Angeles
Los Angeles expects much of its construction and demolition debris to be recycled, and clean, separated loads are easier to recycle. We sort on site into concrete and masonry, wood, metal and rebar, drywall and mixed debris. We separate concrete, metal, wood and other recyclable materials whenever practical.
Sorting starts at the demolition. When we break out a patio or tear out a kitchen, materials are separated as they come out so they never end up mixed in the first place.
Hauling for Builders, Remodelers and Owner-Builders
Remodelers use us to clear the debris from a kitchen or bath tear-out without renting a dumpster. Builders use us when a site has grown a pile that needs to go before the next phase. Owner-builders call when they have done the demo work themselves and need the result gone.
For ongoing projects, we can set a regular pickup schedule. For one-time hauls, we can often look at the pile the same day and give you a free estimate.
Debris Left Behind by Other Contractors
Sometimes a project ends and the debris stays. A previous contractor walks off the job, or a remodel finishes with a pile of broken tile and framing in the side yard. We get calls from homeowners who just want that pile gone so they can use their yard again.
We will look at the pile, tell you what it is made of and how we will load it, and give you a free estimate. Once it is hauled, we rake or sweep the area so you can see the ground again.
No Dumpster on the Street
Roll-off dumpsters in LA can require street permits, block driveways and sit for days. With our trucks, debris is loaded and gone the same day. That suits hillside homes, narrow streets and properties where neighbors are already tired of construction.
