Concrete & Heavy Debris across Louisville Metro
Concrete, brick, block, dirt, and asphalt don't behave like normal household or renovation debris. A dumpster that looks half-empty can already be at its weight limit, because this kind of material is dense enough that volume stops being the limiting factor. Overloading a container on weight is the single most common issue with heavy-debris jobs, and it's the one we plan around from the first phone call.
We size and load heavy-debris containers specifically for concrete driveway and patio tear-outs, brick and block from foundation or wall work, dirt from excavation, and asphalt removal — smaller boxes for dense loads, and clear guidance up front on how full to load them so a job doesn't stall waiting on a second container.
At a glance
What you get with concrete & heavy debris
- Sized specifically for concrete, brick, block, dirt, and asphalt weight limits
- Smaller containers recommended for pure heavy-material loads to avoid overloading
- Handles driveway, patio, sidewalk, and foundation tear-out debris
- Straightforward guidance on fill level so weight limits aren't a surprise at pickup
Suitability
Is concrete & heavy debris the right call?
The fastest way to get this right is to check the load against both lists before you book.
Good fits for this container
- Concrete driveway, patio, or sidewalk removal
- Brick or block from foundation, chimney, or retaining wall work
- Dirt and fill from excavation or grading
- Asphalt removal from a driveway or small parking area
Send these somewhere else
- Mixed household junk or general renovation debris — those are lighter-weight loads better matched to our residential or demolition dumpsters
- Loads mixing a lot of concrete with a lot of household or organic waste in the same container, which complicates disposal
Sizing
Which container for concrete & heavy debris?
Every size below runs on this service. Match the material to the weight allowance and the volume takes care of itself.
- 10-yard-dumpster — The right call for most pure concrete, brick, or dirt loads — small footprint, but heavy debris fills the weight limit fast
- 15-yard-dumpster — Good for a larger driveway or patio tear-out where the 10-yard's weight limit would be reached before the box is full
- 20-yard-dumpster — For sizeable heavy-debris jobs, typically loaded with some care to stay within weight limits rather than filled to the top
| Size | Dimensions | Capacity | Weight included | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard Dumpster | about 14 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 3.5 ft high | about 50-70 kitchen-size trash bags | 1-2 tons | Small home projects, roofing debris, concrete and dirt. |
| 15 Yard Dumpster | about 16 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high | about 80-100 kitchen-size trash bags | 2-3 tons | Garage cleanouts, flooring removal and yard waste. |
| 20 Yard Dumpster | about 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high | about 110-130 kitchen-size trash bags | 3-4 tons | Medium renovations, roofing jobs and large cleanouts. |
| 30 Yard Dumpster | about 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 6 ft high | about 170-190 kitchen-size trash bags | 4-5 tons | Multi-room remodels and estate cleanouts. |
| 40 Yard Dumpster | about 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 8 ft high | about 230-250 kitchen-size trash bags | 5-6 tons | Commercial projects and major demolition work. |
Concrete & Heavy Debris — the Louisville-area specifics
Heavy-debris jobs show up all over Jefferson County: a cracked driveway tear-out in St. Matthews, a patio replacement in Jeffersontown, foundation or retaining-wall work on an older property in Louisville itself. Because a lot of Louisville's older housing stock, including homes in and around Old Louisville, sits on original concrete walks, steps, and foundations that are decades old, concrete and brick removal is a regular part of renovation work here, not an occasional add-on. We generally recommend a 10 or 15 yard container for straight concrete or brick loads rather than defaulting to a bigger box, since weight — not volume — is what fills these jobs up. Delivery across the eastern part of the county near the Aiken Rd yard is usually same-day; jobs farther out toward Shively, Okolona, or Pleasure Ridge Park are more often scheduled next-day.

Answers
Concrete & Heavy Debris — your questions answered
Why would I use a smaller dumpster for a concrete job?
Concrete, brick, and dirt are dense enough that a small container reaches its weight limit well before it looks full. A 10 or 15 yard dumpster is usually the right size for a straight heavy-debris load, even though it looks small next to a 30-yard box.
Can I mix concrete with regular renovation debris?
It's better not to load a lot of both into one container. Heavy material and general debris have different weight profiles, and mixing large amounts of each makes it easy to overload the container. We can walk through the best setup for a mixed-scope job.
How much concrete or dirt can one dumpster actually hold?
It depends on the size, but weight limits are the deciding factor well before the container looks full. We'll go over the expected tonnage for your job when you book so there are no surprises.
Do you take asphalt from a driveway removal?
Yes, asphalt is handled the same way as concrete — as a heavy-debris load sized by weight rather than volume.
What happens if a container ends up overweight?
We'll talk through weight expectations before delivery specifically to avoid this. If a load runs heavier than planned, we can work out next steps, but sizing it right from the start is the better outcome for everyone.
