Common CD Projects in Detroit
Detroit's unique construction landscape creates specific CD disposal needs for contractors
Industrial Building Conversions
Detroit's industrial heritage creates opportunities for warehouse-to-residential conversions. These projects generate massive amounts of CD debris including steel, concrete, and industrial equipment. Typical container: Multiple 40-yard dumpsters over 3-6 months.
Historic Home Renovations
Detroit's historic districts require careful renovation of century-old homes. Lead paint abatement, plaster removal, and foundation work are common. Typical container: 20-30 yard for phased renovation projects.
Multi-Family Unit Upgrades
Detroit's multi-family housing stock requires ongoing renovation. Unit gut-outs, common area updates, and building envelope improvements. Typical container: 30-40 yard for multiple units simultaneously.
Fire Damage Restoration
Unfortunately common in Detroit, fire damage creates mixed debris loads including charred wood, damaged drywall, and contaminated materials. Typical container: 20-30 yard with multiple swap-outs.
Water Damage Tear-Outs
Detroit's aging infrastructure leads to water damage from pipes and flooding. Quick tear-out of drywall, flooring, and insulation is critical. Typical container: 15-20 yard for rapid disposal.
New Construction Infill
Detroit's vacant lots provide opportunities for new construction. Site prep, foundation work, and framing create typical new construction debris. Typical container: 30-40 yard throughout build process.
Masonry Brick Repair
Detroit's brick homes require ongoing tuckpointing and masonry repair. Old brick and mortar create very heavy debris loads. Typical container: 10-15 yard due to extreme weight.
Commercial Tenant Improvements
Detroit's downtown revitalization drives office and retail build-outs. Demo of existing spaces and construction of new layouts. Typical container: 20-30 yard for most TI projects.
Foundation Repair Projects
Detroit's clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles damage foundations. Basement waterproofing and foundation repair generate concrete debris. Typical container: 15-20 yard for heavy concrete disposal.

Detroit's urban neighborhoods often have narrow driveways, overhead wires, and limited truck access. Our drivers know how to navigate these challenges and place dumpsters safely.
