Concrete & Asphalt Disposal in Marathon, TX
Concrete loads out of Marathon go in their own container, kept clean so they price as recyclable rather than as landfill waste.
Concrete & Asphalt Disposal in Marathon
For a large Marathon concrete removal the answer is swap-outs rather than a bigger container. A 30 yard of broken slab simply cannot be lifted, so ordering one does not help; a smaller box pulled repeatedly moves far more material.
Marathon is a small community, and the haul rather than the container is what drives the price. We are straight about that when we quote.
Our Marathon rounds take in Marathon Public Library, Albion E. Shepard House and The Gage Hotel, and we run the same routes out to Alpine and Fort Stockton. Booking a concrete disposal for any of them works the same way.
Caliche and heavy ground around Marathon
The ground across West Texas works against you on weight. Caliche is dense, and excavation spoil, trench waste and broken slab all reach the legal haul weight at roughly a third of visible capacity.
The practical answer is to order smaller and plan a swap rather than ordering bigger. A 10 or 15 yard that leaves on time beats a 30 yard the driver cannot legally lift.
Sizing this job in Marathon
Concrete in Marathon goes in a 10 or 15 yard with a marked fill line. Expect to load around 4 to 5 cubic yards, roughly 5 tons, before you reach legal haul weight. The remaining volume stays empty by design.

Marathon questions
How much concrete fits in a container?
Around 4 to 5 cubic yards, roughly 5 tons, before you reach legal haul weight. The container will look part empty when it is legally full, and that is correct.
I am pouring rather than demolishing - what do I need?
Liquid washout from chutes and mixer drums needs a lined washout container, not an open roll-off. On commercial Marathon sites that is usually a stormwater permit condition. Ask for it by name.
What about asphalt and millings?
Both are accepted and both recycle well, provided they are kept separate from soil and general trash.
What happens if I go over the weight limit?
Overage is billed per ton at the disposal rate for Brewster County and you get the scale ticket. We do not mark up tipping fees.
