If you have a bunch of bricks left over from a home improvement project, construction job, or another type of project, you may be wondering what you should do with these heavy and bulky items. Unless you have some way to repurpose them, you need to figure out how to dispose of bricks quickly and efficiently.
Whether you’re a construction contractor coping with massive piles of unneeded bricks or a homeowner with piles of cracked, broken pieces from DIY projects, figuring out what to do with bricks can be daunting.
You want to dispose of bricks properly, of course, but you don’t want to jump through a bunch of hoops to do so. Thanks to Gainsborough Waste, you don’t have to worry about that. Find out how we make it easy for residents, business owners, and contractors in the Greater Houston area to take care of their pile of bricks following a project.
Disposal Options in Houston for Unneeded Bricks
First, determine your starting point for removing bricks from the property. Once the job is done – or near completion – perform an assessment of how many bricks you have and their overall condition. Then, you can start thinking about what to do with the bricks on hand. Some of the best ways to dispose of bricks include the following:
1. Sell them or give them away. If the bricks are in good condition, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find someone to take them off your hands. Whether you want to make a few bucks or just want them gone as quickly as possible, you can list them on local online marketplaces and locate willing takers.
2. Take them to a local recycling center. If the bricks are cracked, smashed, falling apart, or otherwise in bad shape, you can take them to a local recycling center in Houston. The City of Houston operates several Neighborhood Depository & Recycle Centers. Most will accept used, broken bricks. It’s a good idea to call ahead, though, and make sure the recycling center nearest you will accept brick.
3. Let Gainsborough Waste handle large quantities. If you have large quantities of damaged, unusable bricks to get rid of, Gainsborough Waste is here to help. Find out more about how we make it as easy as possible to remove heavy bricks from your location.
