Construction debris removal
The remodel is done but the pile in the driveway is not. For a bathroom or a kitchen, a crew pickup is faster than a dumpster. For a whole-house job, we drop a dumpster instead. Either way you get one price up front.
What we take
- Drywall, plaster and lath
- Lumber, trim and plywood
- Tile, hardwood, laminate and carpet
- Cabinets, countertops and vanities
- Doors, windows and fixtures
- Small amounts of concrete, brick and shingles
What we cannot take
- Asbestos and anything suspected to contain it
- Paint, solvents and adhesives in liquid form
- More than a pickup-truck load of concrete, dirt or shingles: rent a dumpster instead

How construction debris removal is priced
Light debris such as drywall, lumber and cabinets is priced by truck space. Heavy debris such as tile, concrete and shingles is priced by weight because the landfill charges by the ton. If your pile is more than a half truck of heavy material, the crew will tell you a dumpster is cheaper, not just take the job.
| Load | Roughly | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single item | One sofa, one fridge or one mattress | $99–$149 |
| 1/8 truck | About a pickup-truck bed: a few pieces of furniture | $179–$249 |
| 1/4 truck | A small room, or a spare bedroom's furniture | $299–$379 |
| 1/2 truck | A one-car garage, or a small move-out | $449–$529 |
| 3/4 truck | A full basement or a two-car garage | $549–$649 |
| Full truck | A whole-house cleanout or estate clear-out | $649–$799 |
Prices are set by each local GoneDay location. The crew looks at the load and confirms the price before they start. Read the full pricing guide.
Before we arrive
- Stack like with like: lumber in one pile, drywall in another. It loads faster and can lower the price.
- Pull nails or bend them over where you can.
- Keep the pile off the lawn and away from the sprinkler heads.
Where it goes
Clean lumber, metal and cardboard are separated for recycling where your local transfer station takes them. Mixed debris goes to a construction and demolition landfill.
Good to know in Texas
Houses built before 1980 in Texas can have asbestos in popcorn ceilings, floor tile and joint compound. The crew cannot take suspected asbestos; have it tested before demolition and your crew will tell you who handles it locally.
Construction debris removal questions
Do you take drywall and lumber?
Yes. Drywall, plaster, lumber, trim and plywood are all normal loads, priced by truck space.
Can you take concrete, brick or tile?
Yes, in small amounts priced by weight. For more than a pickup-truck load, a dumpster set aside for heavy material is usually cheaper, and the crew will say so.
Should I get a dumpster or a pickup?
A pickup for a single room or a one-day job. A dumpster for a job lasting days or more than one truck load. Pick either when you enter your ZIP code, and ask in the notes if you are not sure.
Do you take roofing shingles?
Small amounts, priced by weight. For a full roof, rent a 20 yard dumpster; a single layer of shingles on a typical Texas roof weighs two to three tons.
Can you work with my contractor?
Yes. Many pickups are booked by contractors. Add the site contact's number when booking and the crew texts them on the way.
