Construction Debris Removal for Remodels and DIY Jobs

You did the demo. We'll get the rubble out of the house.

Local & Owner-Operated
Owner-operated. William is personally on every job from start to finish.

Tearing out a kitchen is the fun part. Then you're standing in a room full of broken drywall, nail-studded studs, old cabinets and a pile of carpet older than your car. Our construction debris removal picks up from there. We come into the house, the garage or the side yard where you've been piling it, load everything by hand and haul it off. It works for homeowners partway through a DIY project and for small renovation crews who'd rather keep working than make dump runs. William quotes it by how much truck space it takes.

How the job goes

    William prices it by the truck space it'll fill and confirms the number before we start.

  3. Step 3
    Carry it out

    We haul the debris out through the house, down the stairs and into the truck, so you don't have to stage it at the curb.

York County's limits on homeowner C&D drop-off

York County residents can take construction and demolition debris to the Small Load Drop-Off Area. Some materials are accepted only in small amounts: drywall, plaster, tile, insulation, ceiling tile and cement board are limited to two 42-gallon contractor bags per disposal.[1]

Lumber, including pressure-treated, has to be 6 feet or shorter. Carpet has to be 6 feet or less and light enough for one person to carry.[1]

The drop-off does not accept bricks, concrete, cement, macadam, sand, soil, stone, gravel, railroad ties or asbestos.[1]

Why remodel debris doesn't go in the weekly trash

The county says a hauler pickup of C&D may be possible, but your hauler may have additional requirements. At least one contracted hauler serving York County states plainly that no construction debris will be collected curbside.[1][2]

Over in Lancaster County, the waste-to-energy facility takes only residential pickup-truck loads or smaller of construction debris.[3]

Who books debris pickups

DIY homeowners in the middle of a kitchen or bathroom gut. Small renovation crews and handymen who don't want to burn half a day on dump runs. Landlords who pulled carpet and vanities out of a rental between tenants. Folks who finished a basement and found the old paneling and ceiling tiles still stacked in the garage a year later.

If it came out of a house and it isn't hazardous, it's the kind of mess we deal with.

Making the pickup go smoothly

Keep nails pointed down or pulled from boards you've stacked. Bag the small, crumbly stuff like plaster dust and broken tile so it doesn't scatter across the floor. And if you suspect anything is asbestos, like old pipe wrap or 9-inch floor tiles, have it tested and leave it alone. We can't take it.

If the project is going to drag on for weeks and you'd rather toss as you go, ask about our 14-yard dump trailer rental instead of booking a pickup.
