Building new concrete patio is a lot of work. Concrete disposal is even worse

So you poured a concrete slab in your backyard for a long-ago project that never really got finished, and now you want to know how to get rid of it. Disposal of old concrete can be a bigger chore than you might expect.

Reuse & Recycle

One of the best ways to get rid of old concrete is to consider how it can be reused. Recycling or upcycling old concrete can be a cost effective and environmentally friendly way to clear out an old patio or foundation.

Crushed concrete can be used in other projects, like landscaping or driveway filling. One of the benefits of giving it to someone who will reuse the concrete is that they may take it away for free or even possibly slip you a few bucks. While doing so, you prevent the need for new concrete to be produced. Forwarding the cycle of life on any product is good for the environment.

Concrete can be recycled for more industrial items as well. Asphalt can be based in concrete reprocessing. What was once your old patio may someday become the interstate.

Heavy Load

Something to be aware of when considering simply disposing of concrete is the challenges of hauling it away.

Finding someone to take the concrete for free may take longer, but getting it removed to a landfill may cost more. Depending on your project’s timeline and intricacy, your removal options may be limited.

Then, of course, there is the option of breaking it up yourself. Go Junk Free has dumpsters for rent on longer projects like this, which can be picked up when you have finished.

Or pass off the whole project to us. If you’d prefer to spend your weekend relaxing while we break up your concrete slab for you, consider this option. From cleaning out the concrete, to removing it, recycling or disposing, Go Junk Free can handle the entire project. Most of the material we pick up will be recycled or reused.

At Go Junk Free, hauling safety is a priority. Safety requirements may be stricter for construction materials like concrete. For instance, concrete is limited to a one foot depth, but still counts as a full load in trucks.

With so many options to consider, removing concrete is less daunting than it seems. Ready to get rid of that patio slab in the Los Angeles area? Call us at Go Junk Free to set up an estimate (323) 633-0610 today!
