Concrete Disposal · Dallas, TX
Concrete Disposal in Dallas, TX
A slab out, a driveway broken up, footings to shift. Concrete is the heaviest thing you will ever pay to throw away — and the one most likely to be taken off your hands cheaply, because clean rubble is a raw material. Here is how to place it near Dallas.
Four routes for broken concrete near Dallas
The order matters. Clean concrete is worth something to a recycler and costs you money at a landfill, so how well you separate it on the job decides the bill.
Cheapest, sometimes free
1. A concrete recycling yard
Recyclers crush concrete into sub-base aggregate and pull the steel out with a magnet. That makes your slab feedstock rather than waste, which is why clean loads are taken far cheaper than at a landfill and sometimes for nothing. Clean means no soil, no timber, no asphalt mixed in.
Often free
2. Somebody who wants the rubble
Broken slab gets used as riprap on a bank, as erosion control on a ditch line, and as sub-base under a pad. If a contractor near Dallas is asking for riprap or rock, your tear-out may be exactly what they are about to buy. Anything posted near you is listed below.
Charged by weight
3. A C&D landfill or transfer station
Reliable and always open, and the most expensive place to put something this heavy, because you are charged at the scale. Mixed and coated material that a recycler turns away normally still goes here. Confirm they take concrete — not every transfer station does.
Most expensive
4. A hauler or a concrete roll-off
A dedicated heavy-debris box, or a hauler who takes the load and the disposal together. Ask specifically for a concrete or clean-fill container: a standard roll-off will hit its weight limit long before it is full, and the overweight charge is where this route stops being predictable.
Weigh it before you quote it
Solid normal-weight concrete runs roughly 140 to 150 pounds a cubic foot — close to two tons a cubic yard. Broken rubble packs looser than solid slab, but the lesson holds: concrete runs a truck out of weight rating long before it runs out of bed. A half-ton pickup is at its limit on a fraction of a yard, and disposal priced by the ton means weight, not volume, is what you are buying.
Work out the volume of the slab first — length by width by thickness, divided by 27 — then decide how many trips that is. The volume calculator does the arithmetic.

Five questions before the truck moves
- 1Do you take concrete with rebar in it, and does that change the rate?
- 2Is there a maximum piece size before it has to be broken down?
- 3Do you want asphalt kept separate, or will you take a mixed load?
- 4Is wire mesh, fibre, paint or a sealed surface a problem?
- 5Do you pay for clean concrete, take it free, or charge by the ton?
A load turned back at the gate is a wasted round trip and a second disposal fee. Five minutes on the phone is the cheapest part of this job.

FAQ: Concrete Disposal Near Dallas, TX
?Where can I dispose of concrete near Dallas, TX?
Try a concrete recycling yard first near Dallas — clean, rebar-free concrete is a raw material there and is often taken cheaply or free. After that: a construction and demolition landfill or transfer station, which charges by weight; a roll-off from a hauler who will take the disposal on; or a contractor who wants the rubble for riprap or sub-base. This page lists the sites and haulers around Dallas with phone numbers. Confirm on the phone that concrete is accepted, because a lot of clean fill sites take soil only.
?How much does concrete disposal cost near Dallas?
Rates are set by each facility, so there is no single number near Dallas. As published trade estimates, concrete disposal is quoted at $20 to $100 a ton depending on the route, with many recycling yards taking clean concrete at free to $25 a ton, and a dumpster rented for concrete quoted at $300 to $795 (Dropcurb, April 2026). For weighed disposal generally, EREF's 2024 survey put the average US landfill tipping fee at $62.28 a ton and $65.84 at landfills that accept construction and demolition material. Ring the gate before you load.
?Can concrete with rebar in it be recycled?
Often yes, but not always at the same price. Recyclers crush concrete and magnet the steel out, so reinforced slab is usually still accepted — at a higher rate, or with limits on how much steel is protruding. Some yards want rebar cut flush or want reinforced material kept in a separate pile. Ask before you tear out, not after the truck is loaded.
?How much does a load of broken concrete weigh?
Solid normal-weight concrete runs roughly 140 to 150 pounds per cubic foot, which is close to two tons a cubic yard. Broken rubble is looser than solid slab, but the point stands: concrete goes over a truck's weight rating long before it fills the bed. A half-ton pickup is at its limit on a fraction of a yard. If disposal is charged by the ton, weight, not volume, is what you are buying.
?Will a clean fill site near Dallas take concrete?
Usually not by default. "Clean fill" normally means soil, clay, sand, gravel and rock with no demolition debris, and concrete, asphalt and rebar are commonly on the refused list. Some sites do take clean inert concrete, and some want it broken to a maximum size. It is a per-site rule, so confirm it on the phone — a refused load near Dallas is a wasted round trip and a second disposal fee.
