A lot of heavy lifting unless you chained it and pulled them out with a truck!
rigged up the tray from a wheelbarrow with a heavy duty rope…lowered it down…climed down and loaded it…climed back up and pull baby pull, it was amazingly difficult! i filmed it🤫

no problemo zolo!
approx 20 tons per load…sometimes up to 28…but all of these have been right at 20.
its recycled concrete…304 grade. course chunks about the size of a lime all the way down to dust…a heavy dust content. great for compacting!
recycled is CHEAP at around 10 bucks a ton…plus another ten per ton delivery charge. typical limestone 304 would run you at least 25 per ton with an additional 20-25 per ton delivery fee. so the savings are astronomical

Damn, that's a good deal. I'm glad you found good use for recycled concrete, too.
I just busted up an old concrete walkway that my dad put in years ago. Massive cedar tree roots grew underneath it and up-heaved it to the point where it was no longer usable. I used a 10lb. sledge hammer to break it up into chunks, then had a junk hauling company take it off my hands for me. I hope it too gets recycled and not just end up in a landfill. -

Nice! Love a good sledgehammer!!!
The place I get the gravel actually pays for concrete like you demolished. Only a buck a ton lol…but better than charging to dump it
They also have really good pulverized top soil at 25 a yard…but when you go to get loaded the guy just asks how much you want so I get 2-2.5 tons for the 25
