Hauling is where a demolition job is won or lost on cost and schedule. A site with sorted concrete, metal and wood moves faster and costs less than one with a mixed pile, and a site with no staging room needs a different truck plan altogether.

Site clearing finishes the job: removing remaining debris, vegetation and stumps, leveling and stabilizing the lot so nothing washes into the street or onto neighbors. We plan hauling and clearing together with the demolition, not as an afterthought.

Scope & Specifications

Material streams: Clean concrete, brick, scrap metal, clean wood, mixed debris and regulated waste kept separate
Containers: Roll-offs, dump trucks and tri-axles matched to access and volume
Sorting: At the machine during teardown to keep loads clean
Site clearing: Brush, stumps, fences, small structures and remaining debris
Final grade: Leveled and compacted where backfill is placed; stabilized against erosion
Records: Disposal tickets and recycling facility names available on request

Equipment We Use

Roll-off containers and dump trucks

How the Work Is Sequenced

Plan access and staging
We check street width, alley access, overhead lines and where containers can sit or whether permits are needed.
Set the sorting plan
Material streams are decided up front so concrete, metal and wood leave separately.
Haul as the building comes down
Loads leave on a schedule that keeps the site safe and the street clear.
Clear and grade
Remaining debris and vegetation are removed and the lot is graded.
Stabilize and close out
Erosion controls are placed or removed per the site's requirements, and records are provided.

Safety & Compliance

Rules, thresholds and fees change. Use these as a checklist of what to confirm, and rely on the issuing agency for current requirements.

City of Kansas City, MO Public Works (right-of-way)

Containers or equipment placed in the street, alley or sidewalk normally need right-of-way approval; confirm requirements for your address.

Missouri DNR land disturbance (stormwater) permit

Sites that disturb one or more acres, including as part of a larger plan, need state permit coverage and a stormwater plan. Smaller sites may still fall under city erosion-control expectations; confirm with the city.

Missouri and EPA solid and regulated waste rules

Regulated materials such as asbestos waste go to approved disposal; they cannot be mixed with ordinary debris.

OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart T (Demolition)

Governs safe handling and removal of material during demolition.

Kansas City Considerations

Local note 1

Crossroads, Westport and River Market have narrow streets, alleys and mixed pedestrian traffic. Hauling windows and spotter use are often part of the plan.

Local note 2

Spring rain on Kansas City clay soils turns a cleared lot to mud quickly. Stabilization and a gravel entrance matter more than they seem.

Local note 3

Sites near the Missouri River and creeks need extra attention to runoff; confirm with the city and state what protections apply before clearing.

Debris Hauling & Site Clearing FAQs

We haul the debris from our work and can include other site clearing in the scope. We agree on the items in writing first.

Clean concrete, metal and wood go to recycling where facilities are available; the rest goes to licensed disposal. We can name the facilities.

Usually not without approval. Containers in the right-of-way typically require a city permit; confirm before scheduling delivery.

It depends on who controls the site and the disturbed area. We confirm responsibility in the scope so the permit and controls are not missed.
