Concrete, Brick and Dirt Disposal Explained

Clean loads unlock recycling rates

Concrete, brick, block, asphalt and rock can be crushed and reused as base material — but only if the load is free of wood, plastic, trash and soil. Contaminated loads get redirected to landfill pricing, which is substantially higher.

Respect the fill line

Heavy material containers are filled to a marked line, typically one third to one half of the box, because a full container of concrete would exceed legal axle weights. This is not a sales limit; an overweight truck cannot leave your property.

Soil and sod are heavier than they look

Damp Florida soil runs about 2,200 to 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, and sod with soil attached is heavier still. Excavation spoils almost always need multiple smaller loads rather than one large container.

Separate rebar-heavy concrete

Reinforced concrete is still recyclable, but some facilities charge differently for it. Tell us if your slab or footing is heavily reinforced so we quote the correct disposal rate.
