Yes, if you have a vehicle suitable for transporting concrete, you can manually load the pieces, drive to the dump, and dispose of the concrete. If you have access to a public dump, you may not have to pay per visit, but private dumps will usually charge based on the weight and type of debris. As you can imagine, dumping concrete can get expensive using a private dump site. Hiring a professional concrete disposal company is usually a better option to get the job done quickly and safely.
To calculate debris removal cost, you'll need to know if your chosen company charges by weight or volume. If they charge by weight, multiply the estimated weight of a load by the company's rate per pound. If they charge by volume, multiply the estimated number of truckloads by their rate per truck volume. Note that costs may be higher for heavy or hazardous waste materials.
