Construction Debris Removal
Contractor and DIY post-renovation hauling. Drywall, lumber, lath-and-plaster, ceramic, the bathtub from 1962.
Photo needed
Construction tear-out pile (drywall pieces, dimensional lumber, lath-and-plaster, broken tile) staged on a tarp ready for haul. Industrial mood, contractor site lighting.
Renovation projects generate a specific kind of mess: heavy, mixed, and on a deadline. We handle construction and demolition (C&D) debris for both contractors and homeowners taking on bigger projects. Tear-out drywall, plaster and lath, framing lumber, hardwood floor boards, ceramic tile and thin-set, vinyl flooring, carpet pad, cabinets, countertops, cast-iron tubs and porcelain toilets. We load it all. For contractors, we're a cleaner alternative to a 30-yard roll-off dumpster: same volume capacity for less money on most residential jobs, no permit needed, and the debris is gone within hours rather than sitting in a driveway for a week. Lumber in good condition gets evaluated for our local reuse network (Habitat ReStore takes structural lumber, dimensional pieces, and most cabinetry). Metal-heavy demo gets sorted on the truck and routed to a Capital Region scrapper rather than the transfer station. We pull permits if needed for jobs that require formal C&D manifests (commercial work). We're insured for contractor sites and can provide a Certificate of Insurance to your GC or property manager before we start.

The construction debris removal process.
For contractors: we can schedule a truck on standby for end-of-day pickup. For DIY: stage the pile in a driveway or garage, we load and haul. We sort on the truck for scrap metal recovery and reusable lumber.

FAQ
Common questions.
- How is the price calculated?
- By volume, not weight. We charge by how much of the truck you fill, from a single item ($129) up to a full 15-yard load ($549). Pricing is on the Pricing page so you know what to expect before we show up.
- Are there any hidden fees?
- No. No trip charges, no fuel surcharges, no stair fees, no 'heavy item' fees. The quote we give is the price you pay. We get this question a lot because some of the national chains aren't transparent about this.
- How do you compare to 1-800-GOT-JUNK and College Hunks?
- We're typically 10 to 15% cheaper for the same volume, and we don't hide the prices. We're a small local outfit. Lower overhead means a better rate for you.
- Can you come the same day?
- Often yes, especially if you book before noon. Tuesday through Friday tend to have the most same-day slots open. Use the quote form and we'll text you confirmation within a couple of hours.
- What if I just have one or two things?
- Single items welcome. Our minimum charge is $129. That covers one couch, one mattress, one fridge, plus whatever fits around it. No trip charge.
Why us
The honest side-by-side.
Worth knowing before you book. We're not always the cheapest, but we're the most predictable. Surprise charges are how people end up hating hauling companies.
