I have in the past for full time customers as fill in work on crappy days. One I did last year had 2 loads in my trailer for a total of aprox 4 ton. I had to take it to the landfill and pay a fee per ton to dump. Lots of work. Money was good but I would call it Medium hauling not light hauling.

We do because landscape construction is our primary focus,3 bobcats and numerous dump trucks can handle most anything.That is a totally differant crew... If it was just light hauling branches etc then yes the maintenace crew would do it...If you can handle it with the equip you have and have the time, make a decent buck at it that why not?

I used to do spring clean outs of houses, garages, etc. and dump the stuff at the local rubbish removal yard. i also use to haul scrap steel for money.

I read this yesterday and thought about it and of course while working at a house today the lady across the street came out to ask if I could remove these 50 yr old yews in a 15' wide hedge and yep, you guessed it, a brick/stone/mortar/iron insert BBQ in the back yard. I said no to the BBQ right away because I didn't want to have to haul it all away, but then I suggested a dumpster for the Yews(It would be 3-4 dump runs in my f250 p/u) and said I would give the BBQ a shot while I was at it. I told her I work alone so it might be too much. I'm bringing a sledge hammer and a crowbar and will take a few whacks to see what happens! The only iron or steel is a rusted out insert so no big deal. I'll get good cashola for it so I'll try, but if it sux then I'll say the heck w/it.

My point after all that is rent a dumpster and start smacking the crap out of that concrete. A five yard is about 150$ or so I think. It beats going to the dump w/all that weight in your truck one or more times. Just an idea.
