Concrete Removal Services
Safe, efficient concrete removal and recycling for projects across Vancouver Island
Planning for a Concrete Removal Project
Getting rid of concrete isn’t just about brute force — it’s about preparation, the right equipment, and knowing local disposal rules. Whether you’re replacing a cracked patio, removing a small driveway section, or clearing rubble after a demo, proper handling ensures the job goes faster and comes in at or under budget.
Identify the Type of Concrete
Before Island Junk Solutions can provide a quote for removal services, we need to know what we’re dealing with. Concrete that’s free from paint, hazardous coatings, or excessive rebar can often be recycled into aggregate for road base, landscaping, or drainage projects. Painted or treated concrete may need to be disposed of differently under CRD and RDN regulations. When we know what you have on-site, there will be fewer surprises when it’s time for removal.
Prepare the Site for Removal
Before we arrive to remove your concrete debris, clear access for the crew and equipment, and remove any loose items around the work area. If you need help breaking up the concrete, our team can handle small-scale demolition. Breaking up larger foundations or heavily reinforced slabs may require a coordinated approach.
Recycling and Disposal Options
Whenever possible, we take concrete to certified recycling facilities, where it’s crushed and reused. This keeps heavy waste out of the landfill and reduces the demand for new gravel. If the load isn’t suitable for recycling, we will transport it to an approved disposal site in compliance with local bylaws.

Concrete Removal FAQs
Can all concrete be recycled?
No. Clean, untreated concrete can usually be recycled, but painted or contaminated loads must be disposed of differently.
Do you break up large pieces on-site?
Yes. We can manage small-scale breaking for removal. Larger demolition projects can be arranged on request.
Are there weight restrictions?
Yes. Facilities have maximum load limits, so we plan pickups to meet those requirements and avoid surcharges.
Can you remove concrete with rebar?
Yes. We can separate rebar so the concrete can be properly processed.
