Concrete is one of the heaviest materials you will remove from a job site or property, and it cannot go in a standard bin. Hersey Bins provides dedicated concrete disposal bins in 7 and 14 cubic yard sizes, sized specifically to handle the weight of broken slabs, foundations, driveways, and masonry without overloading or triggering unexpected fees.
Whether you are a homeowner tearing up a driveway or a contractor clearing a basement slab, we deliver to your site across Southwestern Ontario, typically within 24 hours. All-inclusive pricing, driveway protection on every drop, and no hidden fees.
Key standards, timelines, and compliance requirements every customer should know before booking.

Concrete waste disposal is the process of removing and responsibly processing broken or demolished concrete from a residential or commercial site. Unlike general construction waste, concrete cannot go into a standard mixed-waste bin because of its extreme density. A single cubic yard of broken concrete weighs approximately 2,000 pounds, and a cubic yard of solid poured concrete can reach 4,000 pounds. Standard bins are not built for loads like that.
Concrete waste is generated by a wide range of projects:
In Ontario, concrete is classified as an inert construction material and must be separated from general waste to be accepted at concrete recycling facilities. Properly disposed concrete is crushed into recycled aggregate and reused in road base, drainage, and new construction, keeping it out of landfill entirely.
Concrete disposal bins from Hersey Bins are designed for heavy inert masonry waste. The table below covers what is accepted and what requires a different bin type.
| ACCEPTED MATERIALS | NOT ACCEPTED (NEEDS A DIFFERENT BIN) |
|---|---|
| Broken concrete slabs and footings | Soil and clean fill (separate bin required) |
| Reinforced concrete with rebar | Wood, drywall, or framing waste |
| Concrete blocks and cinder blocks | Asphalt shingles or roofing waste |
| Paving stones and interlocking brick | Household garbage or organics |
| Brick, stone, and masonry | Hazardous materials of any |
| Retaining wall blocks | Concrete slurry or wet cement |
| Foundation and basement slab debris | Mixed construction debris (use construction bin) |
If you are unsure whether a specific material is accepted, contact the Hersey Bins team before loading. The team will guide you to the correct disposal pathway rather than leaving you to guess.
Concrete disposal is available in three bin sizes at Hersey Bins. Larger bins such as the 20 and 40 yard are not recommended for pure concrete loads because the weight of a full concrete load would exceed legal road transport limits before the volume is filled. If your project generates large volumes of concrete, we can arrange bin swaps to keep your job site moving.
Driveway patches
Patio slabs
Single walkway removal
Ideal for pure concrete loads. Low profile fits tight residential driveways.
Mixed heavy loads:
concrete plus brick, masonry, or stone
Recommended when concrete is mixed with other heavy masonry.
Concrete weighs roughly 2,000 pounds per cubic yard when broken. This is why concrete disposal is priced differently from general waste and why sizing the bin correctly matters. Overfilling a bin with concrete creates weight overages at the disposal facility, which get passed on as additional charges. Hersey Bins will help you choose the right size at booking to keep costs predictable.

Concrete removal projects almost always involve a driveway or hardscape surface that you do not want damaged. Hersey Bins places protective wooden boards under every bin before it touches your property. Whether you have asphalt, interlocking stone, or a fresh concrete pour beside the work area, the bin leaves no marks when it is picked up.
Concrete disposal pricing at Hersey Bins is all-inclusive. Your quote covers delivery, the rental period, pickup, and disposal. We are upfront about what affects the price, including bin size and expected load weight, before we confirm your booking. There are no invoices landing after the fact.
Concrete removal is rarely scheduled far in advance. When a demolition runs ahead or a crew is ready to clear, you need a bin fast. Hersey Bins delivers same-day or next-day across our Southwestern Ontario service territory. Call (519) 824-5097 in the morning and we will do everything we can to get a bin to your site the same day.
Hersey Bins is not a franchise with a 1-800 call centre. We are a locally owned Ontario operation, which means decisions are made by people who know this region, not a corporate office in another province. You speak directly with the team that handles your delivery.
Concrete disposed of through Hersey Bins is processed at licensed facilities where it is crushed into recycled aggregate for reuse in road base, fill, and construction applications. This is both environmentally responsible and compliant with Ontario waste diversion standards. You get documentation that your load was handled properly, which matters for contractor compliance and LEED-adjacent projects.
Hersey Bins operates as a fully licensed and insured bin rental provider in Ontario and maintains active Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) coverage. This protects both our team and your job site, giving homeowners and contractors peace of mind that all work is carried out safely and in compliance with provincial regulations.
| Driveway Removal and Concrete Disposal | Replacing a concrete driveway is one of the most common concrete disposal jobs for Ontario homeowners. |
| Patio and Pool Deck Concrete Disposal | Poured concrete patios and pool decks generate dense, irregular waste that is difficult to manage without a dedicated bin. |
| Basement Slab and Foundation Concrete Removal | Basement slab and foundation removal is typically contractor work involving thick, reinforced concrete. |
| Sidewalk, Curb, and City Concrete Disposal | Municipal and commercial concrete work including sidewalk replacement, curb removal, and parking lot resurfacing generates clean concrete waste that is ideal for recycling. |
| Retaining Wall and Masonry Demolition | Retaining wall teardowns generate a mix of concrete blocks, poured concrete, stone, and brick that all qualify for the concrete disposal bin. |
Concrete requires a dedicated concrete disposal bin, not a standard construction or junk removal bin. Concrete is extremely dense and can exceed the weight limits of a standard bin quickly. Placing large amounts of concrete in a general construction bin risks weight overages, additional disposal fees, and potential issues at the transfer facility. Contact Hersey Bins directly or via the online quote tool for a project-specific price for your project.
Yes. Reinforced concrete containing rebar is accepted in Hersey Bins concrete disposal bins. Rebar is not treated as a contaminant because it gets separated and recycled as scrap metal at the processing facility. You do not need to remove the rebar before loading. Just make sure no other foreign materials such as wood, soil, or garbage are mixed into the bin, as those will trigger a sorting surcharge.
For most residential concrete disposal projects in Ontario, a 14-yard bin is the right choice. It handles a large amount of waste without hitting weight limits when loaded properly. If your project is smaller, like a single walkway or patio section, a 7-yard bin may be sufficient. Call (519) 824-5097 or book online as early as possible to confirm availability, particularly during peak spring and summer renovation season.
Concrete disposal bin rental pricing at Hersey Bins is quote-based because the cost depends on the bin size, the volume and the weight of your load. All Hersey Bins quotes are all-inclusive, covering delivery, the rental period, pickup, and disposal. Request a quote online or call (519) 824-5097 for a fast project-specific price.
Concrete disposal bins are intended for concrete and masonry waste only. Mixing concrete with household garbage, wood, drywall, or general construction debris will result in a sorting surcharge because the mixed load cannot be processed at a concrete recycling facility and must be redirected to a general waste stream. If your project involves both concrete and other construction debris, the most cost-effective approach is to keep them in separate bins.
Hersey Bins offers same-day or next-day concrete disposal bin delivery across Southwestern Ontario, typically within 24 hours of booking. For same-day service, we recommend calling (519) 824-5097 as early in the morning as possible. Online bookings are also accepted.
Concrete disposed of through Hersey Bins is processed at licensed facilities where it is crushed and recycled into reclaimed aggregate.
