How to Dispose of Concrete in Orlando, FL
Concrete disposal is one of the trickiest materials to handle because of its extreme weight. A small patio demolition can produce tons of concrete debris. Whether you're tearing out a driveway, removing a patio, or demolishing a foundation in Orlando, here's how to handle concrete disposal properly.
Concrete Recycling in Orlando
Concrete recycling is the most environmentally responsible option. Recyclers crush old concrete into aggregate for new construction projects. Several concrete recycling facilities operate in the Orlando area. Many accept clean concrete (no rebar, dirt, or debris) for free or minimal cost. Concrete with rebar is accepted at most facilities but may cost more. Search for 'concrete recycling Orlando' for current options.
Orange County Landfill
The Orange County Landfill at 5901 Young Pine Road accepts concrete for disposal. Fees are based on weight. Concrete is classified as 'clean fill' or 'C&D debris' depending on contamination. Clean concrete (just concrete, no other materials mixed in) may qualify for lower disposal rates.
Dumpster Rental for Concrete
Concrete weighs approximately 150 lbs per cubic foot — a small amount adds enormous weight. For dumpster rental, the key is weight management. Our 10-yard dumpster with 2-ton allowance holds roughly 2-3 cubic yards of broken concrete. Our 20-yard with 3-ton allowance provides more room. For large concrete projects, plan for multiple partial loads rather than overloading a single container. Call (407) 801-0253 to discuss your specific project. If you have large amounts to dispose of, renting a dumpster is the easiest and most cost-effective option.

DIY Concrete Removal Tips
Break concrete into manageable pieces (under 50 lbs each) using a sledgehammer for thin slabs or a jackhammer rental for thick sections. Work in sections — score with a concrete saw, then break along the line. Load pieces into a wheelbarrow and walk them to your dumpster. Wear safety glasses, steel-toe boots, and gloves. Concrete demolition is physically demanding — recruit help.
