Easier Ways to Dispose of Concrete

Is the prospect of concrete disposal all that’s holding you back from an ambitious do-it-yourself project? Heavy, ungainly and difficult to manage, concrete presents a serious dilemma for many home and business owners. In fact, getting rid of the concrete resulting from demolition on your property can seem more labor-intensive than the process of tearing it out, or the entire build portion of your project.

Established contractors with large support networks have an easier time managing concrete debris, but there often seems to be a dearth of options for the average homeowner or small-scale handyman business. While this material does pose some unique challenges and require special consideration, disposing of it properly doesn’t have to present an unsurmountable obstacle.

Things to Consider Before Hauling Concrete Yourself

If you have a pickup truck and a strong back, it can be tempting to load up all the concrete you can fit in the truck bed and set off for the nearest landfill. Before you do that, though, there are some things you should consider.

First, there is the potential for damage to the truck. The bed will likely be scratched or otherwise damaged unless there’s a bed liner, which may only prevent some damage. Broken edges are sharp, and concrete is heavy, which presents another issue. Depending on a number of variables related to the truck itself, the sheer weight can cause damage. The bed of the truck may hold more broken concrete than the truck can safely haul, which can lead to issues as minor as sluggish performance or as serious as a broken axle.

Once you’ve loaded the concrete, you’ll need a destination. Not all landfills accept construction and demolition waste, and some will charge fairly substantial fees for dumping. Some very large building supply companies may accept old concrete, but you’ll still have to load, haul and unload it all yourself. When it’s all said and done, your truck and your back will likely have some injury to show for the experience.

Dispose of Concrete Without Injury or Property Damage

Managing waste is an essential part of any project, but it’s particularly important to clear away concrete debris, which can pose a safety hazard on your property.
