Concrete Building Material Removal

[Bayside]

Hi, just wondering what the cheapest way to remove a heap of broken concrete, bricks and rubble is? It's all in a couple of big piles. Its probably enough to fill 2 or 3, 6m walk in skips. Is it cheaper to hire a Bobcat and driver with tip truck? What would they charge?

Hey Bayside,

I would go the bobcat/truck combo.
A 4m skip is around $200 give or take but you will spend half your day loading that. Haven't hired a bobcat for awhile but it would take them about 20min and you can have the ground levelled too. I reckon their about $60-80/hr but you have to factor in travel/dumping then returning and loading the bobcat so I think close to the same price but no work on your part. (The guys I know usually check the papers for places that want clean fill so its free, otherwise they may have to hit you with dump fees, don't know about commercial rates but I can dump 1 tonne at the concrete tip for $10, at a normal tip its $86)

I heard that concrete can be recycled.
So it could be possible to dispose of it for free, maybe.

You'd still have to get it there though....
