Construction Debris Removal NYC
Drywall, lumber, tile, concrete, demo waste. We work with GCs, contractors, and owners across NYC - same-day, weekends, and before permit deadlines.
NYC’s Contractor-Friendly Debris Hauler
NYC sanitation won't touch construction and demolition (C&D) debris - it's illegal to put it curbside. A DOT dumpster permit takes days to pull and costs hundreds before you've hauled an ounce. We're the faster, often-cheaper alternative: we show up, load it, and take it to a licensed C&D transfer station.
We work directly with general contractors, renovation firms, and owner-builders across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Weekend service, 24hr dispatch for emergencies, COI within the hour. Net-15 or net-30 invoicing for established accounts.
Every load goes to an NYC DSNY-permitted C&D facility with a weigh ticket. We provide documentation for building reports, LEED certification paperwork, or the owner's records. Recycling rate: over 70% on typical loads (metal, wood, concrete, drywall all separated when valuable).

GCs: How to Budget C&D on Your Next Project
Quick tips from our crew.
Get a hauler before you get a dumpster
For jobs under 2 weeks, we're almost always cheaper and faster than a dumpster rental. Run the numbers both ways before you commit.
Separate metals on-site
Copper, aluminum, and scrap steel pulled out separately can return $100–$500+ per job back to the owner. We split the recycling proceeds if you separate as we load.
Don't wait until the pile's too big
Multiple small pickups during the job cost less than one massive cleanup at the end. Debris that's been rained on also weighs more.
Have a COI template ready for owners
We send ours within the hour, but some NYC buildings require specific endorsements. Ask the owner's management company upfront so the COI matches exactly.
