Concrete removal takes an old slab or driveway out of the way. Sometimes the concrete is cracked and breaking up. Sometimes the building that stood on it is gone, or a new house needs the spot. We break the concrete out with the excavator and haul the pieces off in the dump truck.

A slab often outlasts the house or the barn that stood on it. Old foundations and footings stay in the ground too. They get in the way when a new house is planned for the same spot.
The excavator breaks the slab or the foundation into pieces and loads them into the dump truck. Rebar or wire mesh inside holds the pieces together and takes more work to break apart. Thick footings and old block walls come out the same way.
If a building still stands on the slab, it comes down first. A standing garage or barn is building demolition work. Once it is down, the slab and the footings can come out next.
On a mountain lot, the driveway often climbs from the road to the house. An old concrete drive there may be cracked and sinking at the edges. The dump truck has to get up and down that slope with every load, so access shapes the job.
The large excavator breaks out long runs of driveway. The small one works in close, where a patio or a walk meets the house. The broken pieces go into the dump truck and leave the site.
Where a driveway meets a state-maintained road like US 64, its end can sit in the right-of-way. Ask the local NCDOT district engineer about that strip before it comes out.
Sometimes, under narrow conditions. The state's solid waste rules count cured concrete, block, brick and rock as inert debris. Concrete with lead-based paint or chemical sealants on it falls outside that group.
The state's beneficial fill rule lets that debris level ground without a solid waste permit, if it meets every condition. A hole dug just to bury the pieces does not qualify. The fill needs at least one foot of compacted soil on top. It also has to stay out of creeks and other state waters, and above the seasonal high groundwater table.
County and town rules can add to the state rule, so ask your county first. On our concrete removal jobs, the broken pieces leave the site in the dump truck.
