Construction Debris Removal
Construction debris removal clears drywall, lumber, shingles, concrete, tile, siding and jobsite scrap – either as full-service hauling where the crew loads it, or as a 10, 15, 20 or 30 yard roll-off left on site for the length of the job. Dense material is the thing to plan around: concrete and tile reach a container weight limit long before they fill it, so mixed loads travel better than a single heavy one. The rate is $50 per cubic yard of truck space, with a $150 minimum, and the figure is confirmed in writing before anyone starts. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal serves St. Petersburg and the surrounding Pinellas County area.

Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal clears job sites across Pinellas County for general contractors, remodelers, roofers, flooring crews and homeowners mid-project.

Truck Service or Dumpster: Which One Your Job Needs
Choose full-service hauling when
- The debris is already piled and you want it gone today
- There is nowhere to place a container – tight lots, zero-lot-line homes, HOA restrictions, condo properties
- You need a one-time clear at the end of the job before final inspection or walkthrough
- The debris is scattered around a site and needs to be gathered, not just tipped
Choose a roll-off dumpster when
- The project runs several days or weeks and debris is generated continuously
- Your crew can load as they go
- The volume is large – a roof tear-off, a gut remodel, a whole-house flooring replacement
We do both, and we will tell you which is cheaper for your job. See dumpster rental and contractor dumpsters. Sizes run 10, 15, 20 and 30 yard, and for heavy material like concrete and tile a smaller can is usually the right call because weight, not volume, becomes the limit.
Weight matters more than most people expect
A 20-yard container of drywall and a 20-yard container of tile and mortar are the same size and nowhere near the same weight. Overloading a can means it cannot be legally transported. We will size the container to the material, not just to the pile.
Disposal, Recycling and Doing It By the Book
Construction and demolition debris is regulated separately from household waste in Florida, and it goes to permitted C&D facilities rather than the household waste stream. Dumping it improperly is a serious matter, and using a hauler who cuts that corner exposes the property owner, not just the hauler.
What gets recovered
- Concrete, block and brick – crushed and reused as base material
- Clean metal – rebar, ductwork, framing connectors, copper and conduit go to scrap recycling
- Clean wood – chipped for mulch or biomass where accepted
- Cardboard and packaging – recycled through our cardboard recycling stream
- Drywall and shingles – recycled where a regional facility accepts them
What we cannot take
Asbestos-containing materials require a licensed abatement contractor – that includes some older popcorn ceilings, floor tile, mastic and pipe insulation in pre-1990 buildings. We also cannot haul lead paint waste, solvents, adhesives, sealants, fuel, oil or pressurized cylinders. If you are unsure about a material in an older building, test before demo. We will tell you when something is outside our scope rather than quietly loading it.
Contractor-Friendly Scheduling Across Pinellas County
We know what actually costs a contractor money: a crew standing around waiting on a truck. So we schedule around your build, not the other way round.
- Same-day and next-day pickups when the pile appears unexpectedly
- Recurring service for multi-phase jobs – we come back at set intervals
- Early-morning starts before the trades arrive
- Pre-inspection clears so the site is clean when the inspector shows
- Weekend availability for occupied properties and commercial spaces
- Photo documentation for your project file or your client
Who we work with
General contractors, remodelers, roofers, flooring installers, kitchen and bath companies, property managers, insurance restoration crews and homeowners doing their own work. For business accounts see commercial junk removal and property management services.

Where We Provide Construction Debris Removal: St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa
We run construction debris removal hardest in St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa, because that is where the crews already are. The rest of Pinellas County is not an afterthought either — we are on those roads every single day.
St. Petersburg, FL
Everything starts in St. Petersburg for us. construction debris removal across Shore Acres, Venetian Isles, Coquina Key, Allendale, Disston Heights and Pinellas Point is routine work. Post-flood cleanouts on the low-lying streets are a big part of what we do, and we handle those with the hauling limits spelled out up front rather than after the truck is loaded. See the full St. Petersburg service page.
Clearwater, FL
Clearwater sees a lot of our construction debris removal volume, especially around snowbird turnover in spring and fall. We cover Clearwater Beach, Island Estates, Belleair-adjacent streets, Countryside and the US-19 corridor. Seasonal-rental turnovers are booked in tight windows, and we hit them. Details on our Clearwater coverage.
Tampa, FL
Tampa is a full part of our service area, not an edge case. We cross the Howard Frankland, Gandy and Courtney Campbell daily for construction debris removal in South Tampa, Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, Bayshore, Seminole Heights, Ybor City, Channelside, Westchase, Carrollwood and Temple Terrace. More on our Tampa junk removal coverage.
The Rest of Pinellas County
The rest of the county is standard route work, not a special trip. Mid-county we cover Largo, Pinellas Park and Seminole. North county is Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar and East Lake. The barrier islands are St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, Redington Beach, Redington Shores, North Redington Beach, Clearwater Beach and Tierra Verde. We also serve Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena, Belleair, Belleair Beach, Belleair Bluffs, Belleair Shore, plus Westchase and Gandy across the bay. See the Pinellas County overview for the whole map.

Construction Debris Removal Frequently Asked Questions
How much does construction debris removal cost?
Full-service hauling is priced by volume and material weight, and roll-off dumpsters are priced as a flat rate for the container and rental period. Heavy material such as concrete, tile and roofing is weight-limited, so a smaller container often costs less than an overloaded large one. Call 727-240-7033 for a quote on your specific job.
Should I rent a dumpster or book a truck pickup?
If the debris is already piled and you want it gone today, truck service is faster and usually cheaper. If your project runs for days or weeks and your crew can load as they go, a roll-off dumpster is the better value. We offer both and will tell you honestly which fits.
Do you load the debris, or do I have to?
With truck service we do all of the loading, including gathering debris scattered around the site. With a dumpster rental, your crew loads at their own pace and we deliver and haul the container.
Can you take concrete, brick and tile?
Yes. Concrete, block, brick and tile are hauled to facilities that crush and reuse them as base material. Because this material is extremely heavy, we usually recommend a 10 or 15 yard container rather than a large one, since weight rather than volume becomes the limit.
Do you handle asbestos or lead paint waste?
No. Asbestos-containing materials require a licensed abatement contractor, and that can include popcorn ceilings, floor tile, mastic and pipe insulation in buildings from before 1990. We also cannot take lead paint waste, solvents, adhesives, fuel or pressurized cylinders. Test before demo if you are unsure.
Where does construction debris actually go?
To permitted construction and demolition facilities, not the household waste stream. Concrete is crushed for reuse, clean metal goes to scrap recycling, clean wood is chipped where accepted, and cardboard is recycled. Only the remainder is landfilled.
Can you clear a site before inspection?
Yes, and this is one of our most common contractor bookings. Tell us the inspection time and we will schedule the clear before it, including early-morning starts before the trades arrive.
Do you offer recurring pickups for long projects?
Yes. For multi-phase jobs we can return at set intervals so debris never builds up, which keeps the site safer and keeps your crew on the tools instead of making dump runs.
Do you work weekends and occupied properties?
Yes. We schedule weekend and after-hours service for occupied homes, condos and commercial spaces where daytime work would disrupt residents or customers.
Is construction debris removal available in Tampa or only in Pinellas County?
Both. Tampa gets the same crews, trucks and pricing structure as our Pinellas work. We book construction debris removal in Downtown Tampa, Water Street, Harbour Island, Davis Islands, Bayshore, Beach Park, Old Seminole Heights, Tampa Heights, Town & Country and Brandon. Because Tampa sits in Hillsborough County, disposal runs through Hillsborough facilities, so we quote Tampa jobs with that tipping cost included rather than surprising you later.
Do you cover Clearwater Beach and the condo towers for construction debris removal?
Yes, and we do it constantly. Clearwater Beach, Sand Key and Island Estates buildings almost always require an elevator reservation, a certificate of insurance naming the association, and a set haul window. We carry current insurance and file the COI before the truck leaves. Mainland Clearwater — Countryside, Northwood, Del Oro Groves, Downtown Cleveland Street — is simpler and usually books faster.
What other Pinellas County cities do you cover?
Effectively all of them. Mid-county we run Largo, Pinellas Park and Seminole. North county is Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar and East Lake. The barrier islands run St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Redington Beach, Redington Shores, North Redington Beach, Indian Shores, Indian Rocks Beach and Clearwater Beach. Smaller municipalities like Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena, Tierra Verde and the four Belleair towns are covered too.
