With warmer seasons approaching, many homeowners are waking from a winter slump and looking to refresh in and around the home. Whether indoors or out, DIY projects can accumulate a lot of debris. But how do you get rid of heavy materials? JDog Junk Removal & Hauling can help. Learn about your disposal options for brick, concrete, and other construction debris.

Doing Some Light Demo

Trying to open up the floor plan, expand the patio, or replace the cabinets? Some of these projects may seem easy enough to do on you own, but they can lead to a lot of debris and headaches if not properly planned. Before you tackle any DIY home reno task, make a plan:

• What tools do you need?
• What wiring or utilities are in the way? Do you need a professional to handle these areas?
• Clear the space of all removable items and furniture to keep them clean and safe.
• Focus on one small area at a time.
• Remove small fixtures first.
• Keep working areas stable by removing upper components first.
• Regularly clear away debris to reduce hazards and maintain a cleaner workspace.

If there are large, heavier pieces of material, such as drywall, cabinets, concrete, and mounds of dirt and yard waste, these items should not be placed in the regular trash, as many waste management companies will not haul them away. This is when you need to consider other options.

Recycling Construction Material

Depending on what debris you’re left with, it could be given a second life. After tearing up a brick patio or concrete wall, you could clean and reuse the materials around your yard:

• Build a fire pit, plant stand, or bench
• Design a garden path or bed edging
• Break up to use in rock gardens

Other materials, such as untreated wood, metal, and plastic should be separated and recycled. For items that can’t be reused, it’s best to rent a dumpster to manage excessive debris.
