Concrete & Asphalt Disposal in Marfa, TX
Separate containers for concrete work in Marfa, because a clean load costs materially less than a mixed one.
Concrete & Asphalt Disposal in Marfa
Driveway and patio tear-outs are the most common concrete job we handle around Marfa. They look modest and weigh a great deal, which is why the container arrives with a fill line and the driver will hold you to it.
Marfa is a small community, so the delivery is scheduled rather than improvised. That is usually an advantage: you get the day you asked for.
Coverage for concrete disposal work runs across Marfa, 79843 and the surrounding Presidio County area. Neighbouring Alpine and Presidio are on the same routes, so a contractor working across several towns deals with one number.
Caliche and heavy ground around Marfa
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 Marfa
For bigger Marfa concrete removals we schedule swap-outs so the crew keeps breaking while a full container leaves. That moves far more material per day than one box and a wait.
What the container accepts, what the receiving facility will reject, and the full dimensions and tonnage table are on the Concrete & Asphalt Disposal guide. For Texas-specific rules on permits, disposal rates and ground conditions, see Concrete & Asphalt Disposal in Texas.
Marfa questions
Do you take rebar-reinforced slab?
Yes. Rebar inside the concrete is normal. Steel protruding above the container walls is not, because the load cannot be tarped and so cannot be hauled.
Is concrete cheaper to dispose of than mixed debris?
Per container, yes, as long as the load stays clean. Clean concrete is recycled into road base at a lower rate than mixed debris at a landfill. Adding wood or trash removes the saving entirely.
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 Marfa sites that is usually a stormwater permit condition. Ask for it by name.
Do I need a permit in Marfa?
Not on private property such as a driveway or a jobsite lot. Street or right-of-way placement needs a permit from the city, and we will tell you what yours requires before delivery.
