Demolition Waste Disposal in Los Angeles
Demolition debris is heavy, and it arrives all at once. Plan it right and you'll avoid overage fees and a dumpster you can't get off the site.

We can't take hazardous waste, so anything containing it has to be handled separately before it reaches our dumpster.
Do the weight math
| Dumpster | Included weight | Overage |
| 10 yard | 2,000 lbs | $7 per 100 lbs |
| 15 yard | 2,000 lbs | $7 per 100 lbs |
| 20 yard | 3,000 lbs | $7 per 100 lbs |
Example: 2,800 lbs of tear-out in a 15 yard is 800 lbs over, which adds $56. Concrete, brick and dirt need a conversation first, because they can go over the limit long before the dumpster looks full.
Where the dumpster goes on a demo job
Heavy loads make placement matter even more. Pick a spot that's firm and as level as possible, close to where the debris comes out, and not under anything low. We check slope, clearance, surface and width with you before delivery. In the City of LA, some rules also cover where mixed construction and demolition debris gets processed, so ask your contractor what your permit requires.

Common questions
Do I need an asbestos survey?
South Coast AQMD requires one before demolition. Ask your contractor or the AQMD what applies to your project.
Can I put concrete in the dumpster?
Ask first. It's very heavy, and we'll help you plan the load.
Can your crew load the debris?
Often, yes. See construction debris removal, or send us photos and we'll give you a price.
