Measure what the crew must move
- Pile length, width, and average height.
- Approximate number of pieces.
- Largest piece dimensions.
- Presence of rebar, wire mesh, brick, soil, or tile.
Access can matter as much as quantity
A pile beside a driveway is different from the same pile behind a narrow gate. Show grade changes, turf, pavers, steps, and turning room. Do not assume heavy equipment can cross a finished surface.
Keep dense debris separate
Concrete mixed under bags, wood, or drywall is hard to assess and can shift during loading. A low stable pile on a protected hard surface gives a better view of the weight and handling needs.
Questions to answer before pickup
- Is demolition already complete?
- Can each piece be moved safely with the planned equipment?
- Is steel reinforcement exposed?
- Where can a truck or trailer legally stop?
- Will recent rain change the access surface?
Source note
Florida regulations define construction and demolition debris as non-hazardous material from building or demolition. Facility and hauler limits still depend on material, contamination, and load characteristics.
