Concrete, brick, and dirt — priced for the weight.

Concrete, brick, block, tile, stone, and dirt are in a category of their own, and pretending otherwise is how people get a bill they didn't expect. This material is dense. A bin that looks a third full of broken concrete can already be heavier than a full bin of household junk — and weight, not volume, is what a heavy-debris haul is priced on.

So we handle it as its own service, with the weight talked through before the bin ever lands.

What counts as heavy debris

• Concrete — driveway and patio tear-outs, sidewalk, foundation, footings.
• Brick, block, and masonry — walls, chimneys, pavers, retaining-wall block.
• Tile and stone — flooring tile, natural stone, flagstone, countertops.
• Dirt and soil — excavation spoil, grading, garden and bed removal.
• Asphalt — driveway and lot demo.
• Gravel and aggregate — old base, rock, road base.

Why it can't ride in a general bin

A truck and trailer have a legal weight limit, and it's the law, not a preference. Load a full-size bin to the brim with concrete and the rig can't legally leave the driveway. That's why heavy debris runs in a partially filled bin with a weight cap, or in a smaller dedicated bin — the cap is what keeps the load legal and the road safe.

If heavy material sneaks into a general construction or cleanout bin — a layer of tile under the carpet, a pile of pavers in the garage — it eats the weight allowance fast and the overage stacks up. When we know it's coming, we plan for it. That's the whole reason we ask what's going in before we quote.

Clean loads haul cheaper

Here's the part worth knowing: clean concrete, clean brick, and clean dirt can often be recycled instead of landfilled, and a clean load frequently costs less to get rid of than a mixed one. Crushed concrete becomes road base; clean fill dirt gets reused. A bin of pure broken concrete has somewhere good to go. The same bin with wood, rebar, plastic, and trash mixed in becomes contaminated fill and loses that option.

So if you can keep the heavy material separate — concrete in one pile, dirt in another, the general junk somewhere else — you usually come out ahead. We'll tell you when it's worth separating and when it isn't.

Our ground is heavy — plan for it

The Front Range is expansive-clay and rock country, and it shows up in a debris quote. A patio or driveway tear-out isn't just the concrete — it's the base course under it and often the clay it sat on. A landscape regrade moves soil that's denser wet than dry. A retaining-wall rebuild is block, footing, and backfill. All of it weighs more than the volume suggests, and all of it is why heavy debris gets its own bin and its own weight cap instead of riding in a general container.

None of that is a problem when it's planned. It becomes one when a general construction bin quietly fills with base rock from a demo and blows past its allowance at the scale. Tell us the material and roughly how much, and we size and price it for what it actually weighs — which is the only way a heavy load comes in at a number you can trust.

How we quote it

We ask three things: what the material is, roughly how much, and where it sits. From that we set the right bin, a weight cap that keeps the load legal, and a price built on the weight — not a volume guess that falls apart at the scale. You get the cap and the terms up front, so a heavy load is a known number instead of a surprise.

This is the debris side of a lot of the other Frontier trades, too — a patio dig, a concrete flatwork tear-out, a retaining-wall rebuild. If your project makes rock, we haul rock.
