Construction debris removal in Reno

When a build or a remodel wraps up in Reno or anywhere in the Reno-Tahoe area, Dominic does the construction debris removal that clears out what the crew left. He loads the leftover lumber, drywall scraps, broken tile and old cabinets and hauls the whole pile away. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470. Job site leftovers are harder on a load than a garage full of old boxes. They're heavy and full of nails and sharp edges, and they're usually spread between a gutted room, the garage and the driveway at the same time.

The new kitchen is in and the old one is stacked in the side yard next to empty mud buckets and a heap of cardboard. Book it once the pile has stopped growing and you want the space back. Most days he can get there the same day, with Sunday the only day off.

If the walls and cabinets still have to come out, the page on interior demolition covers the tear-out itself. A longer build that makes debris for weeks may suit construction dumpster rental better than a single haul, and the dumpster rental page has how the rental works. The work reaches Sparks, Carson City, Truckee and the lake towns, and every place he drives for work around Reno and Tahoe is listed on one page.

From the full list of what goes on the truck: construction and remodel debris.

What's usually in a construction debris pile?

Mostly whatever the build left behind. Beyond the lumber and drywall, there's usually carpet and flooring pulled up in strips. Bigger jobs add chunks of concrete or brick. Packaging from the new appliances and fixtures piles up fast too. The calls come from homeowners finishing a remodel and from contractors clearing out after a job.

Construction scraps come as loose bits with screws and nails still in them, and they all go on the dump trailer.

How does Dominic handle a job site cleanup?

It starts with a picture of each spot where debris sits, like the gutted room, the garage and the driveway, so the quote covers all of it. When the pile is spread across the site or still mixed in with materials that stay, he comes out to quote in person instead. Say yes to the price and he books a day and time. He turns up within a 30 minute to one hour window and explains what's going on the trailer before anything moves.

Jake, his helper, loads alongside him. After the last board is on the trailer he sweeps up where the pile stood and walks the site with you one more time.

Can a contractor or property manager book the cleanup?

Yes. A contractor or property manager can text the pictures too. That's handy on a rental being turned over between tenants or a house going back on the market after a remodel. Say where each part of the pile sits and point out anything that has to stay, like new materials still waiting to go in.

Hours run Mon-Sat, 24 hours, closed Sunday, so the haul can go in early or late around the crews working inside. Tell him when the next trade is due and the pickup can be set ahead of them. A build as far as 75 miles out is still inside his range.

What can't go on the trailer from a construction job?

Asbestos is the big one on a remodel, and it doesn't go. If there's any doubt about what came out of an older house, get that answered before you book, because he won't load it. He also leaves propane tanks behind, along with hazardous waste of any kind, medical or biohazard waste and anything carrying bed bugs or pests.

That still leaves nearly everything a normal build produces. The lumber, drywall, tile, old fixtures and boxes all go. Leftover paint isn't on that list either, so the half-empty cans from the job can ride along. Anything in the pile you're not sure about, mention it when you send the pictures so it's settled ahead of pickup day.

How is a construction debris haul priced?

It's set by how much space the debris takes up on the trailer, starting at $80. A couple of boards and an old vanity sit near the bottom. A trailer packed to the sides with tear-out costs more. The quote from your pictures covers the whole job. Customers ask how he charges more than anything else, and on a build the answer is the space the tear-out takes up.

Your quote stands as long as the job is no bigger than the photo showed. That rule matters on a build, where a second stack sometimes turns up behind the shed. The landfill charge is part of the quote, along with the loading, the hauling and the disposal, so no separate dump bill shows up after. Contractors and homeowners can settle up by cash, check, credit or debit card, Venmo or Zelle.

Where does construction debris go after it leaves your property?

Anything from the job that someone could still use goes to Goodwill first. Metal comes out of the pile for the scrap yard, where it gets recycled. That covers old pipe, brackets and other metal scraps. Leftover paint from the job goes to Greymar for disposal. The rest, broken drywall and bent offcuts nobody can use, ends up at the Stead landfill or the Carson City landfill.

Set aside anything you plan to keep and tell Dominic before loading starts. A pallet of extra tile or a box of unused hinges is easy to lose in a pile like this.

How the price works
