Six boxes, about thirty seconds. You pick when to be called back, and that is when the phone rings.
Or call (228) 250-0380Concrete is the one material where a bigger dumpster is usually the wrong dumpster. A single cubic yard of broken concrete can weigh more than a ton, and a roll-off truck has legal limits on what it can lift and carry. That is why some Coast companies publish a separate small container meant only for concrete and masonry, and why a concrete job is sized by weight and thickness first and by volume second.
Broken slab, sidewalk, driveway, patio and footings. Brick, block, stone, mortar, pavers and old concrete steps. Asphalt from a driveway. Clean dirt and sand, if the hauler accepts them. Pieces with rebar sticking out should be cut flush so they lie flat. What does not belong: wood forms, landscape timbers, roots and trash, because the moment any of those go in, the load is no longer clean.
State rules divide rubbish sites into two classes. A Class II site may accept only natural vegetation, such as limbs, stumps and leaves, plus brick, mortar, concrete, stone and asphalt. A Class I site takes all of that plus construction and demolition debris, furniture, cardboard and other mixed rubbish. Harrison County has Class II rubbish sites, including one on Road 510 in north Biloxi, alongside its Class I sites. A container of nothing but masonry can go to either kind. Toss in a pallet, a bag of trash or some sheetrock and only a Class I site can take it, which narrows the options and can change the cost.
When Katrina's surge, about thirty feet at its peak, came over the peninsula in 2005, it left behind more unburnable debris than anything else. At the six-month mark the city's tally counted 1,625,112 cubic yards of unburnable debris out of 2,078,194 hauled from city streets and rights-of-way, against 422,696 cubic yards that could be burned. Breaking out an abandoned slab, a cracked driveway or an old patio to make way for an elevated house or a parking pad is still common work here, and that debris is almost entirely masonry.
Break pieces small enough to lie flat and spread them evenly across the floor of the container rather than piling them at one end. Never fill a concrete container to the top; the weight limit arrives long before the volume does. Stop at the fill line the driver marks or describes at delivery. Lay plywood under the container's rails on a driveway you want to keep, because a container full of slab concentrates a great deal of weight on two narrow steel rails.
A concrete job usually means a small container placed close to the work, because every piece has to be carried or wheeled to it. Driveways are best. In East Biloxi and on Point Cadet, where lots are tight, a smaller container also leaves room for the truck to maneuver. Keep the container and any loose broken concrete out of the street-side ditch; washed-in sand and fines clog it, and the city's ordinance against dumping into ditches and streams applies.
Soil from a pool dig, a regrade or a new foundation is as heavy as concrete and harder to estimate, because wet soil weighs much more than dry. Ask the hauler whether clean dirt is accepted at all, since not every container or site takes it. In a Biloxi flood zone, regrading or filling also needs a building permit from the city before the first load comes out.
Concrete containers are usually priced as a flat haul with a weight cap, or per dump. The questions are the same as on any other job, size, days, tons included and overage, but on concrete the tons included is nearly the whole conversation. The pricing page shows published Gulf Coast ranges for small and large containers and the overage rates behind them.

Call (228) 250-0380The City of Biloxi's 2023 floodplain guidance says that if improvements, additions or repairs to an existing structure in the flood zone cost at least half of its market value, materials and labor counted, the city and the National Flood Insurance Program require the entire structure to meet new-construction requirements, including elevation to one foot above the base flood elevation. Nearly half of the land in Biloxi is in a special flood hazard area, nearly all of Point Cadet is in a flood zone, and dumping into ditches and streams violates city ordinance Sec. 9-1-15.
Why it matters: A remodel that crosses the half-value line turns into an elevation job, and the debris multiplies with it. Containers also have to stay out of the ditch line, which in a city this low carries the street's runoff.

Biloxi's trash guide says garbage, recycling and yard trash are collected under a contract through the Harrison County Utility Authority, and that contractor-generated waste such as construction debris, or limbs left by tree or lawn services, will not be picked up because removal is the contractor's responsibility. Concrete, asphalt, dirt and tires are also on the not-collected list, and nothing placed in the right-of-way in front of an empty lot is picked up. A 2016 city notice directed contractor debris to the rubbish landfill on Hudson-Krohn Road.
Why it matters: Any renovation, roof or demolition in Biloxi needs its own container and a permitted place to dump it. Debris piled at the curb gets left there.

Mississippi rules let a Class I rubbish site accept construction and demolition debris, brick, concrete, cardboard, vegetation, furniture and similar waste, while a Class II site accepts only natural vegetation and inert material such as brick, mortar, concrete, stone and asphalt. Household garbage, liquids, paint and chemical containers, whole tires, batteries, refrigerators and air conditioners are barred from both. MDEQ's active facility listing shows a Class I rubbish landfill and a transfer station at 14339 Hudson Krohn Road in Biloxi, further Class I sites near Pass Christian and Saucier, a Class II site on Road 510 in Biloxi, and the county's municipal solid waste landfill at Pecan Grove near Pass Christian.
Why it matters: What is in the container decides where it can be dumped. A clean load of concrete or brick qualifies for the simplest sites, mixed renovation debris needs a Class I site, and household garbage needs a landfill rather than a rubbish site.

By July 22, 2007, the City of Biloxi had hauled more than 2.94 million cubic yards of Hurricane Katrina debris and estimated more than 98 percent of it removed, with debris removal and disposal projected to cost $79.7 million. At the six-month mark, unburnable debris made up 1,625,112 of the 2,078,194 cubic yards hauled from city streets and rights-of-way. By August 2007 the city had issued more than 3,984 building permits for storm repairs.
Why it matters: Public debris contracts clear streets and rights-of-way. What comes out of a damaged house, from sheetrock to slab, is the owner's or the contractor's to remove, and on this coast that work arrives in waves after every storm.
