How to Get Rid of Construction Debris in San Diego
Construction and demolition (C&D) debris — drywall, tile, lumber, concrete, cabinets — is heavy and often has to be recycled by law in San Diego. Here are your options.
C&D recycling & the Miramar Landfill
Much C&D material must be diverted to recycling. If you self-haul to the Miramar Landfill, 2026 construction-debris rates run about $337-$359 per Tier 2 load, plus a $50 fee for uncovered loads.
Dumpster vs. full-service haul-away
A rented dumpster sits on your property for days and you load it yourself. Full-service haul-away means we bring the truck and crew, load the heavy material, and take it to the right facility — often faster and with no driveway permit.
Watch the weight
Concrete, dirt, tile and brick are dense and hit landfill weight fees, so very heavy loads are priced accordingly. We give you a firm price on-site before we start.

Where does construction debris go in San Diego?
Most C&D debris must be diverted to recycling facilities; the rest goes to the Miramar Landfill (about $337-$359 per Tier 2 load in 2026). We sort and deliver material to the correct facility for you.
Is a dumpster or junk removal cheaper for remodel debris?
For a quick, all-labor-included cleanup, full-service haul-away is usually faster and needs no permit. Dumpsters can make sense for long, ongoing projects where you load over several days.
Do you take concrete and heavy debris?
Yes. Concrete, tile and brick are accepted, but because they're dense and trigger landfill weight fees, very heavy loads are priced accordingly — always confirmed upfront.
