Construction Debris Removal in Fort Collins: A Contractor's Guide

If you are a contractor working in Fort Collins or anywhere in Northern Colorado, you know the drill — renovations and new construction generate a lot of debris. Drywall, lumber, concrete, roofing materials, old cabinets, carpet, tile, and everything else that comes out of a remodel or teardown has to go somewhere. And it has to go quickly, because debris piling up on a job site slows down progress, creates safety hazards, and makes you look unprofessional to your clients.

This guide covers how construction debris removal works in Fort Collins, what it costs, what materials we handle, and how to set up an efficient debris management plan for your projects.

Types of Construction Debris We Remove

Fort Collins Junk Removal and Demo handles virtually every type of construction and renovation waste. Here is what we regularly haul from job sites across Northern Colorado:

Drywall and Plaster

Drywall is one of the most common renovation waste materials. Whether you are demolishing walls, patching, or hanging new sheets, the scrap and dust adds up fast. We haul both new drywall scraps and old plaster from older Fort Collins homes. Clean drywall can often be recycled — we separate it from contaminated material to maximize diversion.

Lumber and Wood

Framing lumber, plywood, OSB, trim, siding, fence boards, deck boards, and pallets. We take both treated and untreated wood. Clean, untreated lumber is separated for recycling when possible. Treated lumber is disposed of according to Northern Colorado regulations.

Concrete, Brick, and Masonry

Foundation removal, sidewalk replacement, patio demolition, retaining wall teardown — concrete and masonry debris is heavy and requires proper equipment to haul. We handle concrete breaking and removal as part of our demolition services, or we can pick up concrete debris that your crew has already broken up.

Roofing Materials

Asphalt shingles, underlayment, flashing, gutters, and fascia from roof replacements and repairs. A typical Fort Collins roof replacement generates 2,000 to 4,000 pounds of old shingles. We haul it all and route asphalt shingles to recycling facilities when available.

Tile, Flooring, and Carpet

Ceramic tile, porcelain, vinyl, hardwood, laminate, carpet, and carpet padding from floor replacements. We handle the heavy stuff — tile and hardwood — as well as the bulky stuff like rolled carpet. If your crew does the demo, we do the haul-away.

Cabinets, Countertops, and Fixtures

Kitchen and bathroom renovations generate a lot of waste. Old cabinets, countertops (granite, laminate, butcher block), sinks, toilets, bathtubs, vanities, light fixtures, and hardware. Usable cabinets and fixtures in good condition are donated to Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Northern Colorado.

Windows and Doors

Old windows, frames, storm doors, interior doors, and sliding glass doors from replacement projects. We handle the removal and hauling so your window installer can focus on the install.

How Construction Debris Removal Works

We offer two approaches depending on your project needs:

Option 1: One-Time Haul

You have a pile of debris on site and need it gone. Call us at 970-694-7523 and we will send a crew to load and haul everything away. Most one-time hauls can be scheduled within 24 to 48 hours. Pricing is based on volume — what the job involves.

Option 2: Recurring Pickups

For larger or ongoing projects — new builds, multi-room renovations, commercial buildouts — we set up a recurring pickup schedule. Weekly, biweekly, or as-needed. This keeps your job site clean, your workers safe, and your project on track. Recurring accounts get volume discounts.

Construction Debris Removal Pricing in Fort Collins

Pricing depends on the volume and type of materials. Heavy materials like concrete cost more to haul than lightweight materials like drywall scraps. Here are general ranges:

We always provide a free estimate before starting. No surprises, no hidden fees. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Disposal and Recycling Standards

We take responsible disposal seriously — especially for construction materials that can often be recycled or repurposed. Here is how we handle common materials:

Metals (copper, steel, aluminum) — Separated and sent to scrap recycling
Clean concrete — Crushed and recycled for road base or fill material
Asphalt shingles — Recycled into road paving material when facilities are available
Clean wood — Sent to biomass facilities or repurposed when possible
Drywall — Clean drywall recycled; contaminated drywall disposed properly
Cardboard and packaging — Recycled through standard channels

For every load of construction debris we haul from a Fort Collins job site, we aim to divert as much as possible from the landfill. It is better for the environment and it is better for Northern Colorado.
