Measure the pile, photograph a typical piece, and describe the loading route. Concrete and brick reach vehicle weight limits quickly, so a “small” pile can still need careful planning.
Record four details
- Measure the pile’s length, width, and average height.
- Photograph the pile with a familiar object for scale.
- Note the largest piece and whether any section contains rebar.
- Measure gates, stairs, slopes, and the carry distance.
Keep the load within scope
The confirmed service covers light concrete and brick loads. King County says bulky concrete blocks accepted at its facilities must be smaller than 2 feet in each dimension and weigh less than 200 pounds, though the final receiving facility and vehicle type determine the applicable rules.
Separate soil, trash, and hazardous material. Then call about light concrete and brick removal with the measurements and access notes.
