Concrete Removal and Recycling Around Colorado Springs

Concrete is heavy, which means hauling it is a large part of the cost. How it is broken out, sorted and where it goes can change the bill noticeably.

Common concrete jobs

• Driveways and patios: Broken out with hydraulic breakers or saws and loaded for haul-off.
• Garage and basement slabs: Thickness, reinforcement and what sits under the slab affect the method.
• Footings and foundation walls: Often removed as part of a teardown. Your engineer or builder specifies how much comes out.
• Saw-cut sections: Cutting out part of a slab for plumbing, pits or equipment, while the rest stays in place.

Why sorting matters

Clean concrete, without trash, wood or heavy contamination, can often be accepted by recyclers at a lower rate than mixed debris sent to a landfill. Rebar is typically separated and recycled as scrap. Ask us what we can divert on your job and what documentation you need.

Before breaking anything

Know what is under or inside the slab: radiant heat lines, post-tension cables, buried utilities or fuel tanks. Post-tensioned slabs in particular are a safety hazard if cut blindly, so tell us anything you know up front.
