Concrete goes in a dedicated heavy-material bin, not a regular dumpster. At DumpsterX we do it in a 10 yard bin at a heavy-material rate of $390 plus tax, filled 3/4 of the way max, concrete, dirt, brick or block only, and it needs prior approval before we drop it.

That sounds like a lot of rules for one small bin. There is a simple reason behind every one of them, and it comes down to weight.

Why Concrete Cannot Just Go In a Regular Dumpster

Our standard bins come with a weight allowance built into the flat price. A 10 yard is 1 ton. A 17 yard is 2 tons. A 22 yard is 2 tons. A 30 yard is 3 tons. Those numbers work fine for household junk, furniture, drywall, wood and cleanout debris, because that stuff is bulky but light. You run out of space long before you run out of weight.

Concrete flips that completely. A slab of concrete is dense. You can fill the bottom foot of a big dumpster with broken patio pieces and already be past what our truck is legally allowed to haul down the road. The bin looks almost empty. The scale says otherwise.

This is the part people do not expect: a 30 yard dumpster full of concrete is not a pickup problem, it is a physics problem. The truck cannot lift it, the axles cannot carry it, and no honest hauler will put that on the highway. Any honest hauler in Tampa Bay will tell you the same thing.

So instead of putting concrete in a big bin and hoping, we use the smallest bin we have with the biggest weight allowance we can legally carry. Small footprint, heavy payload. That is what the concrete rate is.

The Concrete Rate, Plainly

	Regular 10 yard	Concrete 10 yard
Price	$350 plus tax	$390 plus tax
Weight included	1 ton	No tonnage included — 3/4 fill maximum
Fill level	Level full	3/4 max
What goes in	General debris	Concrete, dirt, brick, block only
Approval needed	No	Yes, before delivery
Days included	3	3

Same bin, same 14 foot long by 7.5 foot wide by 2.5 foot high box, $40 more, and it is built for material the general-debris bin cannot legally carry. That is the trade. You give up the ability to throw a couch in, and you get to load a driveway.

Extra days are $25 a day plus tax if you need longer. Full sizing details for every bin are on our sizes and pricing page.

Why 3/4 fill maximum?

Because a 10 yard bin filled to the rim with concrete would be over the road-legal limit. The 3/4 line is where the volume of the bin and the weight the truck can carry meet. It is not us being stingy with space. It is the point where the load stops being haulable.

What Counts as a Clean Heavy Load

Clean means the bin holds heavy material and nothing else. That is:

Broken concrete slab, driveway, sidewalk, patio
Concrete block and cinder block
Brick and brick pavers
Dirt, soil and fill

What makes it not clean:

Rebar sticking out or mixed in loose
Wood forms, plywood, framing scraps
Trash bags, packaging, general junk
Pool liner, screen, plastic sheeting
Landscape fabric, roots, big stumps
Anything on our never-accepted list: wet paint, batteries, hazardous chemicals and liquids, asbestos, food waste, flammable materials

Rebar is the one that surprises people most, so ask us about your specific job when you book. If your slab has rebar in it, tell us up front and we will tell you how to handle it.

What Happens When Trash Gets Mixed In

Clean concrete and mixed debris are handled differently at the disposal end. When trash ends up in a concrete load, that bin can no longer go out as a clean heavy load, and the whole thing gets treated as mixed debris instead. On a full heavy load, that gets expensive fast.

So keep it separate. If you have a slab coming out and the junk from the same project, the honest answer is usually two bins, or one concrete bin and a separate haul for the rest. We would rather tell you that on the phone than surprise you afterward.

Weight over the included tonnage is $120 per ton plus tax, prorated by the pound, off the landfill's certified scale ticket. You get a copy of that ticket. We do not guess at weight, and neither should anyone else.

Common Concrete Jobs Around Wesley Chapel and Zephyrhills

Driveway removal

The most common concrete call we get. Tell us the rough square footage and how thick the slab is when you book, so we can figure out whether one bin covers it or you will need a second.

Patio and walkway tear-out

Usually thinner and smaller than a driveway, and often the whole thing fits in one concrete bin with room to spare.

Pool deck demo

Watch for the extras here. Pool deck jobs tend to bring pavers, coping, screen enclosure pieces and tile all at once. The concrete goes in the concrete bin. The rest needs its own plan.

Block wall and footer removal

Block and mortar are fine. Just keep the wood forms and any framing out of it.

If your project is half demo and half cleanout, our home cleanout page covers the other side of the load.

Booking a Concrete Bin

Concrete needs approval first, so the fastest route is a quick call or text. Tell us what you are breaking up, roughly how much, and where you want the bin.

We place it on your driveway or private property, exactly where you want it. Street placement usually is not allowed for residential jobs. If our truck cannot get in or out on delivery or pickup day, a $150 trip fee plus tax may apply, so leave the spot clear. Payment is required before delivery. Same-day delivery may be available depending on dumpster availability and where you are.

We are owner-operated. Ali drives the truck, so the person answering your questions about your slab is the same person hauling it. More detail lives on our concrete dumpster page.

Call or text (773) 999-1001, or book online, and tell us what you are tearing out.
