A plan for your pile

Finishing the project should include clearing the debris.

Mixed renovation material is hard to describe as one item. A photo-led quote gives you a specific plan for the pile left behind.

Your quote

A quote based on what is actually there.

Send a photo of the whole pile and a close-up of the material. Include its approximate size, your ZIP code and a view of the access.

Mixed or heavy project debris.

Request a quote for the actual materials and quantity. A generic debris-pile price cannot establish the scope of your project.

Already in contractor bags?

The separate contractor-bag item can cover carryable bags of debris at 50 lb or less each, with no dirt or gravel. Describe uncertain contents to our team before choosing it.

Unknown or hazardous material.

Flag unknown contents, chemicals and suspected hazardous materials in your request. A photo request is not acceptance of every material, and this service does not promise remediation or demolition.

Ready for pickup

A few details. A clearer answer.

Send these details together so our team can review the material, the amount and the route to it.

Wait for the team to confirm acceptance, preparation, price and timing. Sending photos does not create a booking.

Construction debris removal in Cape Girardeau: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Reviewed · Sources below

Construction material and concrete

Not on the regular city route

Concrete and bricks are refused in the trash cart, on the special pickup route and at the transfer station gate, and no city construction collection is published, so a project load has to be arranged privately.

City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no construction collection and no construction rate. Concrete and bricks are refused in the trash cart, refused on the Wednesday Special Pickup route and named among the materials the transfer station will not accept, and the handbook tells a household that tore down a shed to make arrangements to take it to the landfill, so the load has to go through a private hauler or container that sets its own price and through a receiving site that confirms it takes the material.
When & how
Arrange the private haul or container before the work starts, because the City publishes no collection day for construction material and the transfer station gate is closed on weekends and City holidays.
Get it ready
Keep concrete, bricks and project debris out of the trash cart and off the special pickup pile, because all three channels refuse them, and keep tires, batteries, motor oil, railroad ties, automobile parts, pesticides, oil-based paint and other hazardous material out of the load entirely. Secure anything that does travel with a tarp and the tailgate up, because an uncovered load carries the published unsecured load fee wherever it is tipped, and confirm with the receiving site that it takes the material before the load is moved.

Tires

Not on the regular city route

Every City channel refuses tires: the cart, the special pickup route, the transfer station and the hazardous waste event all list them as not accepted.

City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no tire collection and no tire rate, and tires are refused in the trash cart, on the Wednesday Special Pickup route, at the transfer station and at the hazardous waste drop-off event, so a tire has to go to a retailer or another private route that sets its own price.
When & how
Ask the shop that sells or services the tires about a take back, rather than setting them out on a collection day.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the trash cart, off the special pickup pile, out of the transfer station load and out of a hazardous waste load, because each of those channels refuses them by name.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Cape Girardeau means the Recycling Center and the Transfer Station. The Recycling Center at 2007 Southern Expressway is a drive-through building with bins for cardboard, glass and single stream material, open Monday to Friday seven thirty to four, and it also takes the listed electronics free of charge, small yard waste such as leaves and twigs a quarter inch or smaller, and used motor oil and the other accepted fluids at the southeast corner of the Public Works building between eight and three thirty on weekdays. Televisions and CRT monitors are not accepted at the Recycling Center and go to the Transfer Station at 2055 Corporate Circle for disposal, which is open Monday to Friday seven to four and closed on weekends and City holidays. The gate charges a general disposal rate per ton with a minimum charge per load, the same per ton rate for limbs and brush, and a per item rate for white goods, and it refuses tires, batteries, motor oil, concrete, railroad ties, automobile parts, pesticides, oil-based paint and other hazardous material. Every load has to be secured with tarps and the tailgate up, because an uncovered load carries the published unsecured load fee. Tires have no city route at all, and the household hazardous waste drop-off depends on state grant funding.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Construction debris removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Cape Girardeau.

Can I book a mixed debris pile online at one price?

Request a custom quote instead. Send photos of the materials, approximate pile dimensions, your ZIP code and access details. The team confirms the work and price before you commit.

What if my debris is already in contractor bags?

Each carryable contractor bag at 50 lb or less, containing no dirt or gravel, has its own catalog option. Do not use a bag count for an unbagged pile or unknown material. Text a photo if you are unsure.

Does pickup include demolition or removing installed materials?

No demolition or disconnection work is automatically included. Describe the current state and access in your quote request so the team can confirm the work it can arrange.

How much does construction debris removal cost?

This service uses a custom quote. Send photos, the approximate amount, your ZIP code and access details. Our team confirms the scope and price before booking; there is no fixed-price catalog item for this pile.

Can you collect it today?

Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.

Where does concrete go in Cape Girardeau?

There is no city route for it. Concrete and bricks are refused in the trash cart, refused on the Wednesday Special Pickup route and named among the materials the transfer station will not accept, and the handbook tells a household that tore down a shed to make arrangements to take it to the landfill, so the load needs a private hauler or container and a receiving site that confirms it takes the material. Secure anything that travels and expect the published unsecured load fee if it is not covered.Official guidance

Will Cape Girardeau take tires?

No. Tires are refused in the trash cart, refused on the Wednesday Special Pickup route, refused at the transfer station and refused at the City's hazardous waste drop-off event, and no tire collection or rate is published, so a tire shop or another private route has to take them at its own price.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Cape Girardeau?

The City does, through the Public Works Solid Waste Division, which issues a tan trash cart and a dark green recycling cart to each residential customer and collects both weekly on the address's route day. Public Works answers questions on (573) 339-6351, and the department also runs the Recycling Center and the Transfer Station.Official guidance

When can I drop off household hazardous waste in Cape Girardeau?

The City periodically offers a household hazardous waste drop-off in conjunction with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the Southeast Missouri Solid Waste Management District, and the City states the event depends on state grant funding, so call Public Works on (573) 339-6351 or watch the solid waste page for the next date. The event takes acids, antifreeze, brake fluid, gasoline, kerosene, paint, paint thinner, pesticides and herbicides, photo chemicals, solvents, used motor oil and used oil filters, and it refuses ammunition, asbestos, batteries, biological waste, cooking oil, explosives, fertilizers, fire extinguishers, gas cylinders, infectious waste, paint in glass containers, pharmaceuticals, radioactive waste, smoke detectors, syringes and tires.Official guidance
