Construction debris removal near me: what it costs and who to call

TL;DR

Construction debris removal in the Merrimack Valley runs $250 to $650 flat — labor, hauling, disposal, all in. We cover 16 towns from Billerica to Concord. Text photos of the pile and your town, get a flat price back within 24 hours.

There is a pile of drywall, lumber, and tile where your kitchen used to be. Or the deck teardown left a heap of wood and concrete that the regular trash will not touch. Either way, you need it gone.

Statement Junk Removal covers 16 towns across the Merrimack Valley — Billerica, Lowell, Chelmsford, Tewksbury, Bedford, Burlington, Wilmington, Lexington, Andover, Woburn, Westford, Reading, North Reading, Carlisle, Acton, and Concord. Text photos of the debris pile and your town. We send back one flat price within 24 hours.

What construction debris removal costs near you

We price by volume — how much space the debris takes in the trailer. A few contractor bags and a vanity from a small bathroom remodel land around $250. A kitchen gut with cabinets, countertops, drywall, and flooring runs $400 to $500. A whole-floor renovation or deck demolition hits $650 for a full trailer.

Construction debris is heavier than most junk. A half trailer of drywall and lumber stays near the base price. A half trailer of concrete, tile, or plaster pushes toward the weight cap fast — those materials are dense, and we adjust for that up front. We tell you the number before we start, not after the truck is loaded.

Quotes carry roughly plus or minus 15 percent until we see the pile in person. We say that out loud instead of pretending the photo tells the whole story.

What counts as construction debris

Construction debris is anything left over from a renovation, remodel, or demolition project. The stuff we see most often:

  • Drywall and plaster — the dustiest part of any gut job
  • Lumber, framing, and plywood — offcuts, old studs, subfloor
  • Flooring — tile, hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and the thinset or adhesive underneath
  • Cabinets and countertops — wood, laminate, granite, quartz
  • Fixtures — toilets, vanities, sinks, tubs you are not keeping
  • Windows and doors — old frames, glass panes, storm doors
  • Siding and roofing — shingles, vinyl siding, fascia boards
  • Concrete, brick, and stone — the heaviest items, priced by weight

Where the debris actually goes

Not all of it goes to the same place. Usable materials — cabinets in good shape, working appliances, intact fixtures — get donated if there is a taker. Metal goes to a licensed recycler. Clean wood can sometimes go to a mulching facility.

The rest — drywall, broken tile, mixed debris — heads to the transfer station. Construction and demolition waste in Massachusetts is regulated under 310 CMR 19.000, and the disposal sites we use are licensed for it. We sort on site so you do not have to separate anything. If there are items you want to keep, just point them out before we start loading.

Renting a dumpster vs calling a local crew

This is the question most people hit when they have a renovation pile. A dumpster rental in the Billerica area runs $350 to $600 for a 15-to-30-yard bin with a seven-day rental. You load it yourself. The rental company drops it off and picks it up — the loading, sorting, and hauling are on you.

We skip that part. The crew loads, hauls, and disposes in one visit. No dumpster sitting in your driveway for a week. No loading on your Saturday. We charge by how much space the debris takes in the trailer — $250 for a truck load, $425 for a half trailer, $650 for a full one. A slow afternoon costs us, not you.

For heavy debris like concrete or tile, the crew is almost always the better call. The weight is our problem, not yours. A dumpster full of concrete can exceed the rental company's weight limit, and the overage fees come as a surprise. We quote the real number up front based on the photos.

When you should not call us

If the debris is a single pickup-truck load — a few contractor bags and some lumber offcuts — the transfer-station fee will beat our $90 minimum. Load it up on a Saturday morning and save the booking.

If the debris is mostly concrete or masonry from a foundation or retaining wall demolition, that is a weight problem more than a volume problem. We can handle it, but a dedicated concrete hauler with a heavier truck might be cheaper. We will tell you that if the photos look like a concrete job.

If the project is still in progress and you need a bin onsite for a week while the work happens — that is a dumpster rental, and we do not do those. We show up, load, and leave the same day.

A kitchen gut in Billerica

A homeowner in Billerica texted us photos of a kitchen renovation pile on a Saturday morning — old cabinets, countertops, a tile floor, and a stack of drywall leaning against the garage. Under the tile was an old hardwood floor she wanted to keep, so the crew had to work around it. She had a flat quote back within the hour, and the crew had the whole pile loaded and gone by Tuesday. The driveway was swept clean before the crew left.

That is the normal version of the job. Not the exception.

Most residential construction debris removal in the Merrimack Valley runs $250 to $650, flat and all-in. A small bathroom remodel is around $250. A kitchen gut renovation is $400 to $500. A full-floor renovation or deck demolition can reach $650. The price includes loading, hauling, and disposal.
Yes. Concrete, brick, stone, and tile are heavy and priced by weight. A half trailer of concrete can hit the weight cap fast. We quote based on the photos — if the pile looks heavy, we tell you the number up front and explain why it is on the higher end.
We serve 16 towns across the Merrimack Valley: Billerica, Lowell, Chelmsford, Tewksbury, Bedford, Burlington, Wilmington, Lexington, Andover, Woburn, Westford, Reading, North Reading, Carlisle, Acton, and Concord. If your town is not on the list, text us anyway — we may be able to make it work.
It depends on your schedule and the weight of the debris. A dumpster rental costs about the same but you load it yourself. Hiring a crew means we do the loading, hauling, and disposal. For heavy debris like concrete or tile, the crew is usually the better call — the weight is our problem, not yours.
We cannot take hazardous materials — wet paint, asbestos, chemicals, medical waste, or propane tanks. If your renovation uncovered asbestos or lead paint, we will refer you to a licensed abatement contractor. Everything else from a standard residential renovation is fair game.
Most jobs are booked within 24 to 48 hours. Same-day is often available in Billerica and surrounding towns. Once the crew arrives, a typical renovation debris job takes two to four hours from arrival to sweep-up.
