Slab demolition, hauling and recycling
Concrete Removal San Francisco
Have a slab broken or already-broken concrete hauled from a San Francisco home, side yard or job site. Eco-Dumpster handles the demolition and haul-away, or you can load a self-service dumpster yourself. Concrete is dense, so the right trucks and bins matter.
- Break the slab or haul rubble already broken
- Self-service dumpsters for concrete haul-away
- Clean concrete or dirty loads mixed with dirt and rock
- Bins that lower to the ground for safer loading

The pile
Midway
Cleared siteFull-service concrete work
From demolishing the slab to haul-away, Eco-Dumpster stays with the job.
Loading a wheelbarrow of concrete is physically demanding, even with good technique. Eco-Dumpster is a complete solution for dense material: the crew can break the slab, or haul concrete that is already broken. Self-service dumpsters for concrete haul-away are also available.
Bins lower to the ground so loading is safer. Six-wheeled trucks balance payload with maneuverability on San Francisco streets. Pickup trucks are not a substitute—a one-ton full-size pickup can safely haul about 2,000 lbs of concrete, while Eco-Dumpster hauls almost four times that.

A straightforward process
From a quote to concrete leaving a San Francisco property.
Call 650-367-7644 or request online. Describe the slab or pile, the access, and whether you want full-service demolition and loading or a self-service dumpster. There are no duration or dumpster-size fields on this form—put those details in the message.
Review access and volume
The driver looks at gates, stairs, meters and density, then tells you what the crew can transport on the truck assigned to the job.
Break, load or drop a bin
Full-service demolition and loading, or a self-service dumpster you load yourself. Bins lower to the ground for safer filling.
Hauled on the right truck
Usually 4 to 5 cubic yards on smaller trucks and 10 to 14 on bigger trucks. A full bin of concrete is too dense to haul legally.
Piles we haul
Clean concrete, dirty rubble and leftover slabs from construction or demolition.
Tell us what is in the pile. Clean concrete is broken concrete only, not mixed with anything. Dirty concrete is intermingled with dirt or rock. That distinction changes how the load is handled.
Clean concrete
Broken concrete only, not mixed with anything else. This is the load recyclers prefer when the pile is truly unmixed.
Dirty concrete
Concrete intermingled with dirt or rock. Call it out in the request so the crew plans the right truck and handling.
Construction leftover
Large piles of concrete left over from construction or demolition projects, ready to leave the site.
Old cracked piles
Cracked concrete that has been sitting for years, including remnants of abandoned projects from a previous owner.
Leftover stairs
Old leftover concrete stairs that no longer belong on the property and need to be broken down and hauled.
Slabs for sod or hardscape
Unwanted slabs cleared so a yard can take sod, planting or new hardscape instead of unused concrete.
Please note: concrete is too dense to legally fill an entire dumpster bin. Pickup trucks are not suitable. Describe clean versus dirty material, access and whether the slab still needs to be broken so the estimate matches the job.
Weight, trucks and capacity
Truck selection dictates how much concrete leaves in one trip.
Concrete hauling is taxing on equipment. There is no way one of Eco-Dumpster’s bins can be safely and legally filled entirely with concrete. The sheer weight would make it impossible to transport a full bin over the road.
Six-wheeled trucks are a practical compromise between payload and maneuverability. Capacity is usually 4 to 5 cubic yards on smaller trucks and 10 to 14 on bigger trucks. Another way to put it: about 4 yards on a small rig to 10 or more in a super ten-wheeler. The driver confirms what the crew can transport based on density and the size of the project.
Request a Free EstimateSan Francisco access and equipment
Narrow side yards, Chinatown streets and 36-inch gates.
A lot of things in San Francisco are smaller than in other parts of the Bay Area. Side-yard entrances are not always there. Gas meters and narrow gates make hauling especially challenging. In Chinatown, parking is limited and backyard access is often tight or missing. When a wheelbarrow or Bobcat cannot fit, the crew has hauled cement piers and chunks in 5-gallon buckets through the home. Stubborn slabs on the ground are broken with sledges.
Buckets5-gallon buckets, muscle, pulleys and ropes when equipment will not fit.
SledgeHeavy slabs broken down to a size that can be carried out.
36″ BobcatGrapple bucket through a 36-inch gate on relatively level ground.
A skid steer is fast and safe with a competent operator and can save labor when there is about 36 inches of clear access. It is not easy on shrubbery, weighs about 3,000 lbs with a small footprint so it is hard on soft surfaces, and it cannot climb stairs. The crew wears proper PPE: sturdy leather gloves, dust masks, hard hats, eye protection and steel-toe boots.

Frequently asked questions
Questions before we haul the concrete?
If the slab still needs to be broken, the pile is mixed with dirt, or access is tight, include that in the request or call the team.
How much concrete can you haul at a time?
Depending on the density of the concrete, the driver will tell you what the crew can transport. Usually 4 to 5 cubic yards on smaller trucks and 10 to 14 on bigger trucks. Trucks can haul between 4 yards for a small rig and 10 or more in a super ten-wheeler. A dumpster bin cannot be safely and legally filled entirely with concrete.
What is the difference between clean and dirty concrete?
Clean concrete is broken concrete only, not mixed with anything. Dirty concrete is concrete intermingled with dirt or rock.
Do you break the slab, or only haul concrete that is already broken?
Both. Eco-Dumpster can demolish the concrete slab or haul already-broken concrete. Self-service dumpsters for concrete haul-away are also available. Duration and dumpster-size fields are not part of this request form—describe what you need in the message, or call 650-367-7644.
Can I haul concrete in a pickup truck?
Pickup trucks are not suitable. A one-ton full-size pickup can safely haul a maximum of about 2,000 lbs of concrete. Eco-Dumpster hauls almost four times that on equipment built for the weight.
How do you work in tight San Francisco access?
San Francisco often has limited parking, missing side-yard entrances, gas meters and narrow gates. In neighborhoods such as Chinatown, the crew has hauled concrete in 5-gallon buckets through the home when a wheelbarrow or Bobcat cannot fit. Stubborn slabs are broken with a sledge. If the job needs extra labor or special considerations, schedule a consultation for a quote.
When do you use a Bobcat skid steer?
When there is a lot of material, relatively level ground, and 36 inches of access with no other obstructions. The 36-inch machines fit many side gates and use a grapple bucket to hold pieces while squeezing by. Pros: fast and safe with a competent operator, and they fit 36-inch gates. Cons: not easy on shrubbery, about 3,000 lbs with a small footprint so they are hard on soft surfaces, and they cannot climb stairs.
What protective equipment does the crew use?
Proper protective equipment is a necessity when handling concrete. The crew uses sturdy leather gloves, dust masks, hard hats, eye protection and steel-toe boots.
How much does concrete removal cost in San Francisco?
Concrete is dense, so truck selection and volume determine what can be hauled in one trip. Eco-Dumpster provides a quote based on the pile, access and whether the slab still needs to be broken. Call 650-367-7644 or request a quote on this page.
