Frequently asked questions
How is construction debris priced?
By material and weight. Light demo debris (lumber, drywall) runs $200–$400 per load; roofing $300–$600; concrete, dirt, and asphalt $350–$700 — heavy material is always priced by the ton at the scale house.
Can I mix concrete with household junk?
Don't. Mixed loads with heavy material blow past weight limits fast and trigger overweight fees. Concrete, dirt, and asphalt belong in a dedicated heavy-debris container.
What does debris actually weigh?
Rule of thumb from the driver's seat: household junk ~250 lbs per cubic yard, construction debris ~500, roofing shingles ~400 per square, concrete ~2,000. A 'full' 20-yard of concrete would weigh 20 tons — that's why heavy loads need low-boys.
Do I need a special dumpster for roofing?
A 10 or 20-yard works for most residential tear-offs, but keep shingles separate from light debris and watch the tonnage cap — shingles are deceptively heavy.
