Clean Concrete or Asphalt / Clean Inerts
Knowing for sure if you have “clean” material vs dirty material can take some skill and is not always a simple determination. If you know you’ll be ripping out your driveway to repave, or demo-ing a blacktop in a parking lot, be sure to give us a call if you have any questions about what to expect your per-ton rate to cost. Details applicable to this waste type include:
- Any one type of rock, concrete, gravel, brick, asphalt, or asphalt grindings which is less than 24 inches in any 2 dimensions.
- Concrete over 2x2x2 will be charged as oversized
- Some wire or rebar okay
- No trash, excessive metal, wood, roots, or grass contaminants. Loads with these contaminants will be charged as trash. Loads with soil content greater than 10% will be charged as Mixed Inerts as described to the right of this tile.

Mixed Inerts
Does your concrete or asphalt have excessive dirt or mud caked onto the material? Maybe some grass and root contamination has inevitable mixed in to your bin. Surprisingly, that can actually effect whether or not the material can be easily recycled? That being said, there are some key indicators that help with the classification of such waste types and the fees associated with disposing of them. Details applicable to “mixed inerts” are as follows:
- Any combination of rock, concrete, gravel, brick, asphalt grindings less than 24 inches in any 2 dimensions
- Concrete over 2x2x2 will be charged as oversized
- Some wire or rebar okay

Clean Dirt
Clean dirt might be the most straightforward of them all. But before we can guarantee that pile of dirt at your business, backyard, or farm is “clean dirt” let’s run through these classifications first! Details applicable to “clean dirt” include:
- Granular soil such as clay, sand, or silt that breaks apart when handled by light duty construction equipment such as a small backhoe or skip loader.
- No trash, metal, or wood. Less than 10% root and/or grass contamination. Loads with these contaminants will be charged as trash. Loads with excessive rock, concrete, or asphalt will be charged as Mixed Inerts as described above.

Green Waste / Wood Waste
Another relatively simple classification, green waste or wood waste (brush) is likely going to be generated from a backyard landscaping cleanup, a landscaping company, or projects of that nature.
- Grass, weeds, trimmings, leaves
- Brush, tree limbs, small trees, bushes
- Tree rounds and trees must be no more than 4ft long and 6in in diameter OR no larger than 2ft x 2ft x2ft, anything larger than this will be charged as oversized
- Palm, cattails, and bamboo cannot be composted and will be charged as trash
- No trash, no dirt, no concrete or other debris allowed

Clean Wood
Whether or not wood is clean or dirty pretty much boils down to whether the wood has been pressure treated, painted, or if it does not have too many metal fragments in it. Nails, screws and staples are generally fine.
- Lumber, pallets, fencing, plywood, and lumber used for cement forms. Small amounts of metal affixed to the lumber such as nails or hinges are acceptable.
- NO painted and pressure treated lumber, NO excessive amount of treated wood waste, NO plastics
- Any copious amounts of contamination will automatically be designated as trash

- Pressure treated or painted wood
- No excessive contamination, no plastics, no trash
