Don't want to haul it yourself? Get a junk removal quote

Junk removal crews load and dispose of it for you, usually priced by how much of the truck you fill.

Tip: get two or three quotes from local junk removal companies, and ask whether the price includes the dump fee and labor.

General tips for concrete and construction debris

Construction and demolition (C&D) debris such as concrete, brick, lumber, drywall and roofing is usually charged by weight, and concrete is heavy. Some landfills have a separate C&D area or price; some transfer stations don't take it at all; and some areas have dedicated C&D landfills or concrete recyclers that charge less for clean, sorted loads.

Watch for asbestos. Older building materials (some flooring, siding, insulation, roofing) can contain asbestos, which has its own handling and disposal rules. If you're unsure, see EPA's asbestos guidance before you tear anything out.

Other options. Concrete and asphalt recyclers often accept clean loads cheaply. Reusable materials can go to a building-materials reuse store. For big projects, a roll-off dumpster may cost less than several trips.
