Renovation Debris in Charlotte’s Older Neighborhoods
Plaza Midwood began as a streetcar suburb in 1910; NoDa grew around the Highland Park Mill No. 3 village from about 1903; Wesley Heights and west Charlotte have bungalows from the 1920s to the ’40s. Renovating any of them fills a truck fast.
For Homeowners
Doing it yourself over a few weekends? Pile it in the garage or the driveway and book one pickup at the end, or several as you go.
For Small Contractors
Between phases, we clear the site so the next trade can start. Each load is quoted from photos before we arrive.
Storm and Tree Debris

Limbs and Branches
Priced by volume. Yard waste on its own is $88 per cubic yard.
Fencing
Downed sections, posts and panels, loaded from the yard.
Carports and Sheds
A small disassembled shed is $186; larger structures are quoted from photos.
Water-Damaged Contents

Where Construction Debris Can Go in Mecklenburg
City Collection
Not an option: construction debris isn’t accepted in the City of Charlotte’s regular collection.
Foxhole
The county’s Foxhole center at 17131 Lancaster Highway is Mecklenburg’s drop-off for construction debris, if you can haul it there yourself.
A Rented Container
Makes sense for a long gut renovation, as long as you have driveway space for weeks.
JunkRabbit
Loaded by the crew, quoted from photos, no container sitting in the driveway.
