Concrete and demolition haul-off

Demolition produces material fast, in ugly shapes, on sites that are usually the tightest in the portfolio. Haul-off has to keep pace with the processor or the pile buries the machine — and most of that material should be going to a recycler, not a landfill.

D’s hauls broken concrete, asphalt and mixed demolition debris to Bay Area recyclers and permitted facilities. Clean concrete and asphalt are worth recycling and usually cheaper to tip; your diversion percentage on a LEED or municipal job depends on the tickets we bring back.

How we run it

Material sorting decides the money. Clean concrete to a concrete recycler, clean asphalt likewise, mixed debris to a facility permitted for it — dispatch plans destinations per material and tells you what mixing costs before it happens.

The rotation is sized to the excavator or crusher’s output, and rebalanced daily as demo phases change — the frame comes down faster than the slab.

Tickets show destination and tonnage per load, so your diversion report is arithmetic, not archaeology.

Who orders this

Demolition contractors. GCs on tenant-improvement and structure demos. Agencies and their contractors on sidewalk, curb and street-section removals.

Questions estimators ask

Recycling or landfill — who decides?
The material does, mostly. Clean concrete and asphalt should go to recyclers; mixed loads cost more. We will tell you when a little sorting on site turns an expensive load into a cheap one.
Can you support a diversion or LEED requirement?
Yes — that is a ticketing discipline. Destinations and tonnages per load, from facilities that publish their recycling rates. Tell us the reporting requirement at request time.
What about rebar in the concrete?
Normal. Recyclers take rebar-laden concrete and pull the steel. Heavy structural steel is a different load and a different destination — flag it and we plan for it.
Can trucks work inside a demolition exclusion zone?
Loading happens at the edge of the zone under the demo contractor’s controls — our drivers are briefed on the site’s exclusion plan and stage where your competent person directs. If the processor moves as floors come down, dispatch adjusts the staging with your superintendent shift by shift.
What do you need from me to plan a demolition haul-off?
Three things: roughly how much material, what it is — clean concrete, mixed debris, asphalt — and how a truck gets to it. Material type decides where it can legally go, quantity decides the truck and the cycle, and access decides whether that truck is a Super 10 or a transfer. Ten minutes on the phone at bid time saves a day of surprises later.
