Common questions
Can I mix concrete with trash?
No. A heavy load holds only clean concrete, brick, block, rock or dirt. Mixed loads are charged as mixed debris and can mean a rejected load and a return trip fee.
How full can I load it?
To the marked fill line only. Concrete weighs about 2 tons per cubic yard, so a 10-yard reaches the road weight limit before it is full.
When do I get the deposit back?
After disposal we check the weight ticket. Any weight over the included tons comes out of the $350 deposit and the rest is refunded. With no overage, the full $350 is refunded.
Is asphalt a heavy load?
No. Asphalt is not part of the heavy load or the deposit. It goes on the normal quote, and because it is heavy, extra tons are charged at the per-ton price on your quote.
