A plan for your pile

Finishing the project should include clearing the debris.

Mixed renovation material is hard to describe as one item. A photo-led quote gives you a specific plan for the pile left behind.

The separate contractor-bag item can cover carryable bags of debris at 50 lb or less each, with no dirt or gravel. Describe uncertain contents to our team before choosing it.

Unknown or hazardous material.

Flag unknown contents, chemicals and suspected hazardous materials in your request. A photo request is not acceptance of every material, and this service does not promise remediation or demolition.

Construction and demolition material

Special rules apply

The city large item pickup refuses building and construction material, so a project load goes to the agency landfill by the ton, with clean rubble priced lower.

City cost & eligibility
From $30 per ton for clean rubble such as concrete and brick without rebar with a $30 minimum, while mixed municipal solid waste carrying construction debris is $52 per ton with a $20 minimum at the agency landfill. Any customer at the agency landfill scale house, since the city large item programme refuses building and construction materials, bricks, concrete, lumber and shingles.
When & how
Take the load to 101 Airborne Road on Airborne Road between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and stop at the scale house on arrival.
Get it ready
Separate clean concrete and brick with no rebar from mixed debris, because the clean rubble rate is the lower of the two. Cover and tarp the load, since an untarped residential load carries a 10 dollar fee, and keep paint, chemicals, motor oil and asbestos out of the load because they belong at the regional collection centre or a specialist route.

The agency landfill takes what the curb will not

The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency landfill at 101 Airborne Road opens Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and every customer stops at the scale house first.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Construction debris removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Dubuque.

Can I book a mixed debris pile online at one price?

Request a custom quote instead. Send photos of the materials, approximate pile dimensions, your ZIP code and access details. The team confirms the work and price before you commit.

What if my debris is already in contractor bags?

Each carryable contractor bag at 50 lb or less, containing no dirt or gravel, has its own catalog option. Do not use a bag count for an unbagged pile or unknown material. Text a photo if you are unsure.

Does pickup include demolition or removing installed materials?

No demolition or disconnection work is automatically included. Describe the current state and access in your quote request so the team can confirm the work it can arrange.

How much does construction debris removal cost?

This service uses a custom quote. Send photos, the approximate amount, your ZIP code and access details. Our team confirms the scope and price before booking; there is no fixed-price catalog item for this pile.

Can you collect it today?

Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.

Can Dubuque take construction debris at the curb?

No. Building and construction materials, bricks, concrete, lumber, shingles and rocks are all on the refusal list for the city large item pickup, so a project load goes to the agency landfill on Airborne Road. Clean rubble such as concrete and brick without rebar is charged 30 dollars per ton with a 30 dollar minimum, while mixed waste carrying construction debris is 52 dollars per ton with a 20 dollar minimum. Every customer stops at the scale house first.Official guidance
