Demolition Cleanup & Debris Removal

The demolition is only half the job. Post-demolition cleanup is included on every structure we tear down, and we also take on standalone property cleanouts and commercial demolition cleanup. Debris is sorted on site, hauled on our own trailers, and recycled wherever the material allows. You get a clean lot and a receipt for every load.

Plain Facts

Straight Answers on Demolition Cleanup

The facts you need before you call, in plain language.

  • Demo Patrol includes post-demolition cleanup in every demolition quote, with no separate line item for hauling away the debris the teardown created.

  • Demo Patrol prices standalone property cleanouts from $8,000 to $50,000 or more depending on scope, from a single-family lot up to a 13-acre clear.

  • Demo Patrol charges $1,500 per trailer load on standalone cleanout work, and most properties take multiple trailer loads.

  • Demo Patrol recycles over 70 percent of materials on most jobs and provides dump receipts and weight tickets for every load.

  • Demo Patrol finishes a cleanup with a rough grade only. Engineered compaction, soils engineering, and build-ready site prep are not part of the service.

What We Handle

Every Type of Demolition Cleanup

Whether it is the aftermath of a structural demolition, a property that needs a complete cleanout, or storm damage that left a mess. We have the equipment, the crew, and the disposal relationships to handle it.

Complete Demolition and Debris Cleanup

When you hire us for the teardown, the cleanup is part of the same job. Concrete rubble, lumber, roofing, drywall, and metal are sorted on site and hauled to the right facility. We do not leave until the lot is clean.

Included with every demolition project, and available on its own if another contractor left the debris behind.

Full Property Cleanouts

Inherited a property full of scrap metal, junk cars, grain bins, and years of accumulated debris? Preparing a lot for sale? We clear the entire property: vehicles, structures, appliances, and everything in between. One crew handles it all.

A 13-acre inherited property in Newcastle: 40 junk cars, a mobile home, and a barn cleared for $50,000.

Commercial Demolition Cleanup

Commercial teardowns leave concrete, asphalt, steel, and mixed debris across the whole site. We sort and haul it as part of the demolition, keep dump tracking records where the city requires them, and leave the lot ready for the general contractor.

On a 6,000 square foot three-story apartment demolition in Berkeley we also removed 12,000 square feet of concrete and asphalt parking lot and kept Green Halo dump records for the city.

Storm Damage Cleanup

Downed trees, damaged structures, scattered roofing, and flood debris. We respond quickly with the heavy equipment needed to clear storm damage and restore access to your property.

If the storm damage involves structural demolition, we handle the full scope. Not just the cleanup.

Responsible Disposal

70%+ Recycled.
Every Load Documented.

We do not dump everything in one pile and haul it to the landfill. Materials are sorted on site, and over 70 percent of demolition debris gets recycled on most jobs. Concrete, metal, wood, roofing, and mixed debris each go to the appropriate facility.

Every load leaves your site with a documented destination. You receive dump receipts and weight tickets for every haul. Whether you need them for insurance, a property sale, or your own records.

How It Works

Our Cleanup Process

Permits and asbestos rules vary by jurisdiction before a teardown begins. For permit costs, timelines, and asbestos requirements where you are, see our Northern California demolition permit guide.

01

Site Visit & Estimate

Our estimate tech arrives with a drone, laser measuring tools, and an iPad. He takes photos and measurements of all areas and captures drone shots of access points and debris piles. You receive a written estimate through our app.

02

Mobilize & Sort

Jobs are weather-dependent so we can leave the property in good shape. We bring skid steers with sifting and digging buckets, forks for vehicle removal, and our own trailers. A three-person crew (driver, operator, and laborer) separates all metal and hauls it independently from general debris.

03

Haul & Finish

Trash goes to the nearest landfill. Metal goes to recyclers. We do a final sweep of the entire property. A typical job is completed in two to three days. Your site is left clean and ready for the next phase: construction, landscaping, or sale.

Our Fleet

Equipment for Every Scale of Cleanup

We own our equipment. No rentals, no subcontractors. The right machine shows up for the right job, operated by our own crew.

Skid Steer with Sifting Bucket

Separates small debris from dirt so the soil underneath is left in good shape. Essential for property cleanouts where years of debris have mixed into the ground.

Skid Steer with Digging Bucket

Excavates, loads, and moves heavy material across the job site. Used on nearly every cleanout for fast, efficient debris handling.

Forks & Vehicle Removal

Fork attachments for lifting junk cars, RVs, and heavy items that cannot be loaded by hand. We removed 40 vehicles from a single property in Newcastle.

Hauling Trailers

Multiple trailers on site for continuous loading and hauling. Most properties require multiple trailer loads at $1,500 per trailer.

Common Questions

Demolition Cleanup FAQs

Post-demolition cleanup is included in every Demo Patrol demolition quote. There is no separate line item and no surprise charge for hauling off the debris we created. Standalone property cleanouts, where we clear an entire lot of junk, vehicles, outbuildings, or accumulated debris, run $8,000 to $50,000 or more depending on scope. Cleanouts are priced at $1,500 per trailer load, and most properties take multiple loads. Every project gets a written estimate after an onsite visit with drone photography and laser measurements.
Complete demolition and debris cleanup means the teardown and the haul-off are one job with one crew. We sort concrete, metal, clean wood, roofing, and mixed debris on site, haul each to the right facility, and hand you dump receipts and weight tickets for every load. The lot is left clean and rough graded. Engineered compaction and build-ready site prep are not included.
Yes. Commercial demolition cleanup is part of every commercial teardown we do, including concrete and asphalt parking lots. In Berkeley we removed a 6,000 square foot three-story apartment building plus 12,000 square feet of parking lot and kept Green Halo dump records for the city. We sort and haul the debris ourselves and leave the site at rough grade for the general contractor. We do not do interior-only demolition or tenant improvement work.
We sort everything on site. Concrete goes to crushing facilities where it is recycled into base material. Metal is separated and sent to scrap recyclers. Clean wood is processed at approved facilities. Roofing, drywall, and mixed debris go to licensed transfer stations. We recycle over 70% of materials on most jobs. Every single load is documented with dump receipts and weight tickets.
We coordinate hazardous material handling through licensed abatement contractors and certified hazmat transporters. Asbestos, lead paint debris, and chemically contaminated materials are identified during our assessment and handled according to Cal/OSHA, NESHAP, and local air quality district requirements. We do not mix hazardous materials with general debris. They are separated, documented, and disposed of through the proper chain of custody.
Yes. Full property cleanouts are one of our core services. Most of these jobs are inherited properties where the new owner needs to clean up the lot in order to sell it. We clear everything: scrap metal, junk cars, grain bins, mobile homes, barns, appliances, furniture, and accumulated debris. A recent 13-acre property cleanout in Newcastle included 40 junk cars, a mobile home, a barn, and 15 trailers worth of debris. We demolished the structures, cleaned out the house, and hauled everything off site. That project came in at $50,000. Cleanouts are priced at $1,500 per trailer load.
Yes, on every load. We provide facility receipts and weight tickets for all materials hauled off your property. This is standard practice on every project. Not something you need to request. If you need documentation for insurance, probate, or a property sale, we have it.
Standard post-demo cleanup on a residential site takes one to two days. Larger projects with extensive debris, multiple structures, or full property cleanouts may take three to five days. We schedule cleanup as part of the overall demolition timeline, so there is no gap between the teardown and debris removal.
Skid steers with sifting buckets to separate small debris from dirt, skid steers with digging buckets for excavation and heavy loading, fork attachments for lifting junk cars and heavy items, and our own trailers for hauling. The equipment we bring depends on the volume and type of material on the property. A full property cleanout typically runs multiple pieces of equipment and multiple trailers on site at the same time.
Yes. Storm damage cleanup. Downed trees, damaged structures, roofing debris, and flood-related debris. Falls within our scope. We have the equipment and disposal relationships to handle emergency cleanup on short notice. If the damage involves structural demolition, we handle that as part of the same project.
