Tampa Bay - remodels, new builds, and teardowns
Construction & Demolition Debris Removal in Tampa Bay
Quick answer
We haul construction and demolition debris across Tampa Bay - drywall, lumber, cabinets, tile, flooring, fixtures, and masonry within the axle-weight limit. Either we load it for you, or we drop a self-load trailer on your jobsite and your crew fills it across the week. Priced by how much fills the trailer: $100 for a small pickup up to $600 for a full load. Self-load drop-off from $400. We haul the debris; we do not tear the structure down.
Demolition and teardown debris
Past a remodel and into a full gut or teardown? Same trailer, same job. Once the space is stripped to the studs, we haul off what the teardown leaves behind: the busted masonry, the ripped-out cabinets, the lumber and drywall piled in the driveway.
What we do, straight
We haul the debris. We do not tear the building down.
Ready 1 Dump Trailers is a hauling service, not a demolition contractor. We do not knock down walls, sheds, or structures. What we do is clear the mess a teardown leaves behind: the gutted kitchen, the ripped-out bathroom, the stripped-to-studs room, the pile in the driveway. You handle the demo or hire a demo crew for it, and we haul off every bit of what comes out.
Two ways to clear the jobsite
We load it
The demo is done, the pile is in the driveway or the garage, and you want it gone. We show up, load the whole pile by hand, and haul it to a licensed disposal facility. Good for one-off remodels, teardowns, and handymen who do not want a trailer sitting on site.
You load it
We drop a dump trailer on the jobsite. Your crew loads it as the work goes - tear-out Monday, cabinets Wednesday, flooring Friday. It sits on the driveway, not the lawn, and usually needs no permit for a single project. We come back and haul it when the job wraps.

The concrete and masonry rule
Heavy materials - concrete, brick, block, rock, tile and thinset - stack only 12 inches high in the trailer. Demo and teardown work produces this fast. That is not us being difficult; it is Florida DOT axle-weight law, and it is the same for every hauler running a legal trailer.
If your tear-out has more than a shallow layer of masonry, that usually means a second pull rather than one dangerously overloaded trip. We measure it against the load before we start so the price you hear is the price you pay.

Common questions
Do you take drywall and renovation debris in Tampa?
Yes. We haul drywall, lumber, ripped-out cabinets and vanities, countertops, busted tile, laminate and hardwood flooring, trim, doors, old fixtures, and general remodel waste. We take mixed loads too, so the demo pile and the household junk can go in the same trailer. Paint we can take by special request, so ask first. We cannot take solvents, oil, fuel, or any liquid hazardous material.
Do you tear down buildings, or just haul the debris in Tampa Bay?
We haul the debris. Ready 1 Dump Trailers is a hauling service, not a demolition contractor - we do not tear down walls, structures, sheds, or buildings. Once the teardown or gut is done, whether you did it yourself or a contractor did it, we load the pile and haul it to a licensed disposal facility. If you still need the actual demolition performed, hire a licensed demo contractor for that part and call us for the cleanup.
What demolition and teardown debris can you haul away?
After a gut or teardown we haul drywall and plaster, lumber and framing, ripped-out cabinets and vanities, busted tile and backer board, laminate, hardwood, and vinyl flooring, old doors and windows, fixtures, and general demolition debris. Concrete, brick, and block are fine within the 12-inch stack limit for axle weight. Paint goes by special request, so mention it when you call. We cannot take solvents, oil, fuel, liquid hazardous material, asbestos or regulated abatement waste, and we do not haul scrap metal.
Can my crew load the trailer over a week instead of scheduling a pickup?
Yes. Drop the self-load trailer on the jobsite and your crew fills it across the job. Base price is $400, the first ton is free, and each additional ton is $100. It sits on the driveway instead of tearing up the yard, and for most single-project remodels it usually needs no permit. When you are done, we haul it. This is the roll-off dumpster alternative most Tampa Bay contractors actually want.
How much does it cost to haul off a full remodel or gut?
Full-service loading runs by how much of the trailer the debris fills: $150 for a quarter trailer, $300 for a half, $450 for three-quarters, and $600 for a full trailer. A kitchen or bathroom gut usually lands in the half to three-quarter range; a whole-house remodel or interior tear-out is often a full trailer or a second pull. You get the tier before we start, in writing, off a photo or a quick walk-through.
Is there a limit on concrete, brick, and tile in the trailer?
Yes. Heavy materials like concrete, brick, block, and rock stack only 12 inches high in the trailer because of Florida DOT axle-weight limits, and demo work tends to produce a lot of it. Tile and thinset count toward that weight. If you have more than a 12-inch layer, it usually means a second pull rather than one overloaded trip. We tell you up front so there is no surprise on the day.
Do I need a permit for a dump trailer on my Tampa Bay jobsite?
For a trailer sitting on your own driveway or private property for a single project, you usually do not, which is one reason a dump trailer beats a roll-off dumpster on smaller jobs. Rules differ by city and HOA, and a trailer left in the public right-of-way can be a different story. If you are not sure, call and we will talk through your situation before we drop anything.
