Do you have a construction project coming up? Whether you’re a construction company owner, contractor, or just a DIY expert, you’re going to want to clean up afterwards! Debris removal is often either overlooked or underestimated when planning a project, but if you’re not proactive about it, the debris can become a bigger headache than the project itself! Many are accustomed to renting a dump trailer or a dumpster, but have you considered using a debris cleaning service instead?The broad scope of junk we’re willing to haul has often surprised customers, who often envision “junk” as being fairly limited to household items, but we pride ourselves on the broadness of our definition. Much of what we deal with is household or yard debris, but we are indeed a construction debris cleaning service as well! Construction debris has all sorts of complications that come with it, in this post, I’ll touch on just a few.

1. Dangerous to TouchIt’s

No secret that much of the debris produced by construction can be dangerous to handle. Many jobs will involve removal of fiberglass insulation, which can be very irritating to load into a trailer or dumpster (especially if you have to toss it above your head). A great deal will involve removal of plywood, which has the obvious risk of splinters, but also nails, staples, and whatever else happens to be sticking out of that stuff. There may also be molds or chemicals which are unsafe to handle. Hiring a debris cleaning service can reduce the dangers for you and your crew, potentially alleviating a fair amount of liability risk!

2. Disposal Fees

As you may know, construction debris are among the priciest materials to dispose of. Some landfills or transfer facilities will divide their rates by material type, generally having yard debris cheapest, house debris slightly more, and construction debris being more expensive than that. This sort of breakdown will usually occur at facilities that charge by the yard, which can introduce another problem: a lot of construction material is mixed and varied, causing it to take up space!But, let’s suppose that this isn’t the case for your project and the debris is more compact than bulky. Often in that situation, the convenience of the compactness is offset by the inconvenience of its weight! This is especially true of things like rocks, gravel, or roof shingles, which are extraordinarily heavy. If you choose to dump these in Bend (and if it’s shingles, you’ll probably have to), the weight alone will hit your wallet hard! However, our debris cleaning service, like the rest of our services, charges nothing on top of your quote. So, let us give you a quote on your debris, and if we’re off, we take the hit!

3. The Weight

The previous section mentioned this, but it demands a section of its own. Construction debris has issues, but in nearly every case, the weight is the most pressing. On bigger jobs, the whole project can be slowed by the amount of time it takes your crew to haul and load debris into the dumpster or dump trailer. It’s exhausting, back-breaking work, which can seem like a mountain if it’s been accumulating throughout the job. The way to avoid this is to proactively load it as you work, but this also happens to be extremely inefficient. Alternatively, use our debris cleaning service and avoid all of that! Whether you’ve made clean piles or have left materials scattered around the site, we’re happy to take care of it!

But if you find that hauling the debris is reducing efficiency, heightening costs, increasing liability, or is just too much of a pain, our debris cleaning service might be just the solution!
