What we load and haul off
We haul C&D debris: the broken block and slab concrete from a teardown, the drywall and old cabinets from a remodel, and the roofing or screen panels a storm leaves in the yard. Piles another crew left behind count too. We load what's there, sweep the driveway and leave.
We don't take household junk, furniture or appliances from a cleanout. That's a different trade with its own trucks.
Heavy loads go in with the skid steer's bucket. Mixed remodel debris inside a house gets carried out by hand, bagged when it's dusty, and thrown in the truck bed. A single bathroom remodel rarely fills a truck. The teardown of a block house fills several.
Dump truck or a 40-yard roll-off
Pick the dump truck when the debris is already on the ground and we can load it in one visit. The machine fills the truck, the truck leaves, and you pay per load.
A 40-yard roll-off dumpster makes more sense for a remodel that runs for weeks, where the crew tosses debris in a little at a time. It sits on the driveway or the lot, on private ground whenever there is room.
Either way, debris is hauled by permitted haulers. Miami Beach, Hialeah or the City of Miami can each run their own rules on who can haul inside the city limits, and we follow the one that applies to your address.
Sorting concrete and metal for recycling
Florida law pushes C&D debris to be processed before anything goes to a landfill, under Florida Statute 403.707(9) and Rule 62-701.730 of the Florida Administrative Code. On site that means separate piles. Clean concrete and block go in one pile. Rebar and other metal go in another, and the mixed debris that can't be recycled in a third.
Crushed concrete has a second life. It gets screened and used as road base, as drainage stone and as fill. Rebar and the steel from old A/C stands or window bars go to a scrap yard. Breaking out a slab or driveway is its own job on our concrete removal page, and a full teardown with this sorting built in is on house demolition.
Hurricane debris and storm-damaged structures
After a hurricane, the debris from a damaged house and the house itself are two separate jobs. Loose storm debris on your lot we can load and haul like any other C&D load. A structure that has to come down needs a permit and a licensed contractor, even after a storm.
The asbestos notice can change during an emergency. Florida's environmental agency usually issues an emergency authorization after a big storm that swaps the 10-business-day notice before work for a notice within 1 business day after work starts. Buildings that an official has declared unsafe can come down under those orders. Each order is temporary, so we check the one in force for your county before the machine moves. Materials that may contain asbestos are never burned.
Contracting without a license during a declared state of emergency is a third-degree felony under Florida Statute 489.127, so storm debris work goes through the same permits and paperwork as any other job.

Frequently asked questions
Do you pick up debris that another contractor left?
Yes. Half-finished remodels and contractors who walk off a job leave piles behind all the time. We load it as it sits, at the same price per truckload.
Can you leave a dumpster in the street in front of my house?
A container in the street sits in the public right-of-way, and that usually brings a permit of its own under rules set by the city or the county. We place the roll-off on your driveway or the lot when there's space, which keeps it off the street.
Do you take tree branches with the construction debris?
No, our loads are C&D debris only: concrete and block, wood framing, drywall, roofing, metal. Tree removal and land clearing carry separate permits in most South Florida cities, and we tell you which ones apply to your lot.
