Renting a dumpster for concrete removal
Quick answer
Broken concrete goes in a dedicated 10-yard heavy-debris bin, not a standard 20, 30, or 40-yard dumpster, because concrete is too dense to load safely into a larger open-top. Flat-rate heavy-material pricing starts at $699 for the first ton. Call or text 619-629-4751 with your driveway, patio, or slab size for a firm quote.

Why concrete only fits a 10-yard heavy bin
Concrete weighs roughly 4,000 lbs per cubic yard. A large open-top bin filled with concrete would far exceed what a truck can legally carry on the road, so a low-walled 10-yard heavy-debris bin is used instead — sized so the weight, not the volume, is the limiting factor.
Estimating how much concrete you have
A rough way to estimate is by slab thickness and square footage rather than guessing at cubic yards, since even a small area of thick concrete can weigh more than expected.
| Slab | Approx. weight per sq ft | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 4 in. slab | ~48 lbs/sq ft | Typical patio or walkway thickness |
| 6 in. slab | ~72 lbs/sq ft | Common driveway thickness |
| Reinforced/rebar slab | Add weight for rebar | Mention rebar when booking |
Loading tips
- Break concrete into manageable pieces before loading — it fills more efficiently
- Load level with the bin's rails; heavy material can't be heaped
- Keep concrete separate from trash or wood where possible to avoid mixed-load pricing
- Rebar-heavy chunks may need to be cut down — mention this when you call
Pricing basics
The 10-yard heavy-material bin has a flat rate that starts at $699 and includes 1 ton. Additional tonnage is quoted by material and location — ask for a specific number for your job before delivery so there are no surprises at pickup.
Frequently asked questions
Can I rent a 20-yard dumpster for concrete?
No. Concrete needs to go in the dedicated 10-yard heavy-debris bin regardless of how much space is technically left in a larger bin.
How much does a concrete dumpster cost?
The 10-yard heavy-material flat rate starts at $699 for the first ton. Call or text with your project size for an exact quote.
Can I mix concrete and dirt in the same bin?
Often yes, but mixed heavy loads may be priced differently than a single material. Mention the mix when you book.
Do you recycle concrete?
Clean concrete is typically taken to a recycling facility rather than a landfill when possible.
