Brick Removal Dumpsters

If you're doing renovation work, you may need to take down a brick wall in the process. Some people may be determined to save it for use in construction later; this can be done quickly and cheaply by applying a pneumatic hammer to the masonry joints - the brick will most likely pop off intact. You then need to chisel the mortar off and stack them for future use.

If the brick is either too damaged to use, or simply unneeded, you will need to think about removing it from your property and discarding it. As with any other construction debris, a dumpster rental is your ticket - Local Roll Off offers dumpsters with a capacity from 10 to 40 cubic yards, enough to fit as much brick as is likely to result from most home improvement projects.

Unfortunately, weight then becomes an issue. One cubic foot of brick has a specific gravity of 1.92, and weighs around 120 lb per cubic foot. Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, one cubic yard of brick, if tightly packed, will weigh 3240 lbs - more than one and a half tons. Since most dumpster rental contracts include limits not only on overfilling dumpsters, but also on maximum weight, exceeding which may force you to pay extra, it's important to have a reasonable estimate of the amount of brick that you plan to discard. If you feel that you may exceed the standard weight cap, try to negotiate a higher cap, to avoid having to pay a penalty or rent a second dumpster.

At Local Roll Off, our waste disposal professionals will help you select the dumpster that's right for your brick removal project, with respect to both volume and weight.
