Disposing of Concrete

Concrete is a commonly used material in residential and commercial construction projects. Since it makes up a large part of our lives, we can expect the same in our waste. According to the EPA, 85% of the country’s waste is collected from construction and demolition sites. Whether you are a new homeowner with too much leftover or a contractor with excess concrete, Starr Dumpsters can help you rent a dumpster suited to your needs.

We can use leftover concrete in different ways, from landscaping mulch to driveway paving. However, when you want to get rid of extra concrete, we recommend hiring a dumpster rental service for professional help. Here are steps to follow if you want to dispose of concrete safely.

Rent a Dumpster

The easiest and most cost-effective way of disposing of concrete is to rent a dumpster. We have many dumpster rental units designed to handle construction and demolition waste, like concrete, bricks, asphalt, and stones. If it’s your first time renting a waste disposal unit, we can assess the magnitude of your project and recommend a suitable dumpster size with the right weight capacity.

Landfill or Transfer Station

Once you have a dumpster rental, the next step is deciding whether to dispose of the concrete in a landfill or transfer station. Before you choose, check local waste disposal laws and regulations to avoid hefty fines or legal action. Luckily, you can leave all the heavy lifting to our experts, from dropping off the unit to hauling the waste to a suitable facility after completing the project. This is a pocket-friendly alternative, as opposed to making the trip yourself.

Contact a Building Supplies Retailer

Concrete is a versatile substance that can be recycled severally. Building supplies retailers accept unused concrete or contractors working on minor renovations likely to recycle used concrete and other construction materials. If you have a retailer or contractor in mind, we can haul the waste to their location as long as it is within our areas of operation. Working with a professional dumpster company saves you the time and manual labor required to haul the waste yourself.

Contact a landscaping company.

Landscapers often look for leftover concrete for various projects, from creating sidewalks, renovating walls, and flower boxes. Landscape companies crash the concrete into tiny particles, making it suitable to use as a base layer for paths. This is an ideal option for people looking for eco-friendly disposal alternatives.

Donate to Your Community

While concrete is a commonly used material, it doesn’t come cheap, and most people are often on the hunt for leftover concrete. One way to find local businesses or contractors in the community is by posting an ad on social media or other social platforms. You may make some money off the concrete, but the best option is to offer it free and have them haul it from your site.
