Construction Debris Removal in Stone Mountain

What we haul after a remodel

Construction debris is the leftover from building or tearing out. Think broken drywall, cut lumber with nails still in it, busted tile, old cabinets, carpet and pad, shingles from a small roof patch, and the boxes the new stuff came in. It is heavy, sharp and awkward. Most trash routes won't take it.

We do this for homeowners who did the work themselves, and for those whose contractor left the cleanup to them. If your pile is mixed with old furniture or general clutter, we take that on the same truck. For a full garage or basement, see our garage cleanouts and basement cleanouts pages.

The part people notice is what happens after the truck leaves. A roofing nail in a tire or a bare foot is the usual leftover from a careless haul. We work so that doesn't happen.

What the job includes

Hand loading from where it sits

We pick it up from the yard, the driveway, the side of the house or the room it came out of. You don't need to drag anything to the curb.

Drywall, lumber and tile

These are the bulk of most piles. We stack lumber tight in the truck and bag crumbled drywall so the dust stays put.

Cabinets, vanities and fixtures

Old kitchen cabinets, countertops, toilets, sinks and tubs from a bath tear-out all go. For old washers, ranges or fridges, our appliance removal page covers what we take.

Small roofing and siding scraps

Shingles, felt and siding pieces from a repair or small replacement. We tarp the ground while we load so granules and tacks don't end up in the grass.

Magnet sweep and broom cleanup

Before we leave, we run a rolling magnet over the driveway and the lawn edge where the pile sat. Then we sweep. It takes a few minutes and saves you a flat tire.

Signs it's time to get the pile gone

• The project ended weeks ago

  The pile is still by the garage and the grass under it is dying. The longer it sits, the bigger the bare spot.

• Rain is soaking the drywall

  Wet drywall gets heavy and turns to mush. In a humid Georgia summer it can start to grow mold in a few days.

• Loose nails are showing up

  You've found screws on the driveway or nails in the grass. That is a sign the pile is spreading.

• Your trash service said no

  Regular pickup usually won't take building scraps. If the bin got left full with a tag on it, this is the job for us.

• You need the space back

  The car is parked outside because the garage is full of old cabinets and offcuts.

How the day goes

1. 1

   You call, we come look

   Give us a call and we set a time to see the pile. The estimate is free and there's no obligation. Same-day and next-day service available.

2. 2

   A clear price before we lift

   We look at the size, the weight and what's in it, then give you the price. Upfront pricing with no hidden fees. If there's something we can't take, like wet paint or chemicals, we tell you then.

3. 3

   Loading and protecting the property

   We lay down tarps where we walk, carry heavy pieces instead of dragging them, and watch for the edges of your driveway and lawn. Our crew is licensed and insured.

4. 4

   Sweep, check and go

   Magnet sweep, broom, and a walk-around with you. Usable lumber and metal get sorted out for reuse or recycling when we can.

What moves the price

We price construction debris by how much room it takes on the truck and how heavy it is. Tile and plaster weigh a lot more than the same pile of cardboard. You get the number on site, before any work starts.

Volume

How much of the truck the pile fills. A bath tear-out is a lot less than a full kitchen.

Weight of the material

Concrete, tile, plaster and wet drywall are heavy. Heavy loads cost more to haul and to drop off.

Access

A pile at the driveway is quick. Debris in a basement, up stairs or behind a fence takes more time and hands.

What's mixed in

Clean lumber and metal can often be recycled. A mixed pile takes longer to sort, and some items need special handling.
