Clean Concrete, Dirt & Organic — $200 Flat Per Load, Up to 15 Tons
Heavy debris is where dumpster pricing usually breaks. Most haulers bury dense material under per-ton rates that turn a patio tear-out into a guessing game — our answer is the simplest number in Maryland disposal: clean concrete, dirt, and organic material loads out at $200 flat per load, up to 15 tons.
Not $200 plus. Not per-yard plus plus. One rate, one load, one number you can build an estimate on.
Call (410) 808-7000 and the heavy-material conversation takes two minutes — which box, which rate, when it drops.
What Qualifies as a Clean Load
The flat rate depends on one thing: separation. A clean load is one material stream, not a mix.
The line that matters: construction trash mixed into a heavy load converts the whole load to construction-debris pricing ($125/ton over the included tonnage). Keep the streams separate and both rates stay honest — we’ll tell you on the phone if your plan mixes them.
The Math That Makes It Work
A quick example every estimator can run: a 4-inch concrete slab, 10 feet by 20 feet, is about 66 cubic feet of concrete — roughly 5 tons. At per-ton disposal rates that load can price anywhere; at our flat rate it’s $200. Double the slab, double the tons, same flat rate until the 15-ton ceiling — which is exactly why the ceiling matters. The table runs the comparison against the $75–$100/ton that heavy-debris disposal and overage typically runs at Mid-Atlantic haulers and facilities:

The Right Box for Heavy Material
The 15-yard “Heavy Lifter” was built for this work: 18′ × 3′ low walls mean dense loads sit where the truck can lift them, and the walk-in rear door puts wheelbarrows at waist height. The half-load rule applies to dense material in any container — concrete, dirt, and brick fill half the box, not to the top — but the Heavy Lifter’s 15-ton ceiling means a half-full 15-yard can still carry a full 15-ton clean load (loading tips).
Volume-heavy projects with some dense material run the 20-yard for the structure debris and a Heavy Lifter alongside for the slab and spoil — the two-box pattern on serious renovations.
Where Our Heavy Loads Come From
How It Works
1
Book online or call (410) 808-7000 — say “clean concrete” or “dirt load”; we confirm the rate, the box, and the drop
2
Same-week drop — driveway, pad, or job-site staging; boards down on request
3
Load one stream, one box — concrete with concrete, dirt with dirt (what goes where)
4
Weighed on the truck, hauled same visit — clean loads don’t need a scale ticket to price; the flat rate already has the ceiling
