How to Dispose of Concrete, Brick & Masonry
Broken concrete, old brick, and masonry rubble are some of the heaviest material a homeowner or contractor deals with — and weight, not volume, is usually what drives cost here.
1. Sell It
Clean, unbroken brick and paver stone occasionally has resale value to landscapers or other homeowners doing a matching project — clean broken concrete rarely does, though some aggregate operations will take it at little or no cost specifically because they can crush and resell it as base material.
2. Donate It
Intact brick, block, and paver stone are sometimes accepted at Habitat ReStores or by landscaping-focused donation groups, though acceptance varies a lot by location and condition. Check your nearest ReStore →
3. Recycle It
Concrete recycling is genuinely common — crushed concrete becomes aggregate base for roads, driveways, and new construction. The Construction & Demolition Recycling Association maintains a locator for concrete and masonry recyclers. Find a recycler on CDRA →
4. Dispose of It
Given how heavy concrete and masonry debris get, a dedicated container sized for the weight — not just the volume — matters here more than almost any other material. Mixing concrete into a container already loaded with lighter debris is the fastest way to blow through a weight allowance.
NorthPoint's Concrete & Dirt page covers sizing and pricing specifics for this exact material.
