Construction debris removal in Colorado Springs

When a remodel wraps up in Colorado Springs or anywhere in the Pikes Peak region, Justin handles the construction debris removal. He hauls off what a remodel or a build leaves behind, like busted drywall, torn-out cabinets, old flooring and the stack of lumber offcuts by the garage. Call or text (719) 246-8422 for a price. A construction pile is heavier and more mixed than a household clean out. Broken tile sits on top of carpet pad, and chunks of concrete hide under scrap wood. Justin sorts it as he loads, so the concrete and the metal don't get buried with the landfill trash.

Two kinds of people usually need this. One is a homeowner who redid the bathroom or finished the basement and now has a pile in the driveway with nowhere to put it. The other is a manager, like a property manager clearing a renovated rental before the next tenant walks through. If the walls still need to come down first, that's a different job, and the demolition services page covers it. Justin hauls what's left once the work is done.

Leave the drywall scraps down in the basement bedroom and the cabinet boxes in the gutted kitchen. Justin walks every load out himself. The buckets of tile and the roll of old carpet can stay right where the work left them. He takes these jobs in Monument, Fountain, Falcon and the other towns around Colorado Springs that he hauls from.

From the full list of what goes on the truck: demolition and construction debris.

What's usually in a construction debris pile

A remodel pile is rarely one thing. After a kitchen job it's cabinet boxes, a countertop in pieces, old flooring and a few buckets of broken tile. After a basement finish it's drywall scraps, bent metal studs, carpet pad and the cardboard the new materials came in. A deck tear-off leaves a heap of weathered boards with nails still sticking out. Some piles also have a few chunks of concrete or brick from a busted step or an old planter. The kitchen and basement piles usually come from a homeowner who just finished the work, and the gutted-rental piles from a property manager.

The difference from a furniture pickup is weight and mess. Tile is heavy for its size. Boards with nails need careful handling, and drywall dust gets on everything. Justin looks the pile over and plans the load around all of that before he lifts the first piece.

Where the drywall, concrete and scrap metal end up

Justin sorts a construction pile as it goes on the truck, because the pieces don't all head to the same place. Anything still good enough to use heads to donation before anything else, at the Arc, Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity. That might be a set of upper cabinets that came out whole, or an unopened box of tile left over from the job.

Old ductwork, copper and steel pipe, and the metal studs pulled out of a wall all ride to a Colorado Springs metal recycler. The busted concrete step and loose brick get dropped at a recycling center, where they're recycled rather than buried. What's left is real trash, like drywall scraps and carpet pad. Only that part of the pile ends up at East Landfill, Midway Landfill or the El Paso County transfer station.

How Justin loads a remodel pile

If the pile is in the basement, Justin brings it up the stairs. If it's in the back bedroom of a rental, he walks it out through the hallway and the front door. Old carpet gets rolled up tight so it fits through the doorway. Boards with nails come out carefully, and the buckets of tile go on low so the load rides right on the Ford F-150.

For a property manager, Justin sets the time with the manager and confirms which rooms get cleared and what stays behind, like the new appliances or the leftover paint for touch-ups. He gives a two-hour arrival window. Pickup is same day, most days, which helps when a unit needs to be clear before a showing.

What stays off the truck on a construction job

A few things that turn up on job sites are things Justin will not haul. Leftover fuel from a generator or a small engine stays behind. So does a propane tank from a torch or a patio heater.

Asbestos is the one that matters most on a remodel. If a ceiling texture, a floor tile or a wrap off an old pipe might contain it, Justin won't take it. The wood and drywall from the same job still go on the truck as usual. Medical or biohazard waste is refused too, which can come up when a rental gets cleared after a rough tenant. Everything else Justin takes is on the list of what goes on the truck.

What hauling a construction pile costs

The price is a single figure for the entire pile, and it stays put after the debris is loaded. The number comes from how much room the debris takes in the trailer, so a few buckets of tile take less than a gutted kitchen. The minimum is $225. That figure already covers the loading, the hauling and the disposal, and dump fees are never billed on their own.

A remodel pile sometimes includes an old fridge or a window AC unit pulled out with the cabinets, and anything with freon is +$40 each. Tires are +$10 each if a couple ended up in the pile. A mattress or box spring is +$40 each, and that's the last add-on Justin lists. He can be paid by check or cash, by credit or debit card, or through Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App, Venmo or Zelle. Truck space works the same way on every job, and how junk removal pricing works in Colorado Springs shows how it adds up.
