Construction Debris Removal in Union City
Remodel done, or halfway there, and the pile keeps growing. We load the drywall, lumber, tile and old fixtures, sort what needs sorting, and take it where it is allowed to go. You get a clear site and an upfront price before we lift anything.
When a debris haul is the right call
Most home projects make more waste than people expect. A bathroom gut fills a pickup bed twice. A deck tear-out can be a full trailer. Your curbside cart won't take it, and most city trash service won't touch building material.
That's where we come in. We haul construction debris from your home after you, a handyman or a contractor finish the work. It's a good fit for one-time cleanups, the last load at the end of a job, or a backlog that's been sitting under a tarp since spring.
The part people don't think about is where it ends up. Building waste has rules. Some of it can go to a construction and demolition landfill, some has to be kept separate, and some can't be hauled by us at all. We tell you which is which before the truck shows up.
What the job includes
Loading from wherever it sits
Driveway, side yard, back patio or the garage. We carry it out and load it ourselves. You don't need to drag anything to the curb.
Common remodel materials
Drywall, lumber, plywood, trim, tile, carpet and pad, old cabinets, countertops, doors, windows, fencing and shingles. Broken concrete and brick in reasonable amounts too.
Sorting before disposal
We separate metal, clean wood and mixed debris on the truck. Scrap metal goes to recycling. Mixed construction waste goes to a facility that is allowed to accept it.
Screening for problem items
Paint cans, solvents, old fluorescent tubes and anything that may contain asbestos don't belong in a debris load. We point them out and explain your options so nothing illegal ends up in the wrong place.
Site cleanup
After the last piece is loaded we rake up nails, screws and loose scraps. We sweep the driveway so you're not finding staples in your tires next week.
Signs it's time to get the debris hauled
An inspection is coming
If your project has a permit, the inspector needs to get in and see the work. A clear path and a clean site make that visit go smoother.
The pile is killing the grass
Debris left on a lawn for a few weeks leaves a dead patch. In a Georgia summer it also turns into a home for snakes, wasps and standing water.
Your contractor left the cleanup to you
Plenty of bids leave out hauling to keep the number low. If the crew is gone and the pile isn't, that's our kind of job.
Nails and sharp edges near the kids
Old trim and torn-out drywall are full of fasteners. Once that's sitting where people walk, it should go.
An HOA letter showed up
Many neighborhoods limit how long building material can sit in view. Clearing it out ends the back-and-forth.
How the day goes
- 1
You call, we look
Call and we'll set a time to see the pile in person. The on-site estimate is free and there's no obligation. We look at the size, the materials and how far we have to carry it.
- 2
Upfront price
You get the price before we start. Upfront pricing, no hidden fees. If you say yes, we can often load the same visit.
- 3
Load, sort, sweep
We load by hand and sort as we go. Then we clean up the nails and scraps and walk the area with you.

Proper disposal
The load goes to a construction and demolition facility that takes this kind of waste, a metal recycler, or both. Nothing gets dumped in a ditch or burned behind a shop.
What moves the price
We price by how much truck space your debris takes up, plus a few things that change the work. You'll see the number on site before we touch anything. No guessing from a photo and no add-ons after the fact.
- Volume
- The biggest factor. A half-load of trim costs less than a full load from a kitchen gut.
- Weight
- Tile, concrete, brick and wet plaster are heavy for their size. Landfills charge by weight, so dense loads cost more than the same space full of lumber.
- Access and carry distance
- A pile at the edge of the driveway is quick. Debris in a backyard down a slope, or up on a second-floor balcony, takes more time and hands.
- Mixed or sorted
- If metal is already pulled out and drywall is bagged, loading goes faster. A tangled pile takes longer to sort before disposal.
Construction debris questions
Something not covered here? (404) 991-6465
Do I need a permit for you to haul debris from my property?
Usually no. Hauling from your own driveway or yard doesn't need separate paperwork. The permit for the remodel itself is between you, your contractor and the city or county. If you're not sure what your project needs, ask the local building office, and we'll keep our part clean and legal.
Can you take drywall and shingles together?
Yes. Both are standard construction waste and go to a C&D facility. We just keep them away from metal and anything hazardous.
What won't you take?
Wet paint, solvents, fuel, and any material that may contain asbestos, like some old floor tile, popcorn ceiling or pipe wrap. Those have their own handling rules. We'll tell you what we see and where it can legally go.
Do I have to be home?
We like to meet you for the estimate so we agree on what's going. For the haul itself, if the pile is outside and the price is set, you don't need to stand there the whole time.
Will the truck damage my driveway?
We park carefully and keep the heaviest loading close to the street when we can. If your driveway is soft or newly poured, tell us and we'll plan around it.
Can you also clear the garage while you're here?
Sure. A lot of remodel cleanups turn into a garage cleanout or a general junk removal job once the space opens up. We'll price it all at the same visit.
Get that pile gone
We'll come out, look at the debris and give you a price on the spot. If it works for you, we load it, sort it and take it where it belongs.
