Common CD Projects in San Francisco
Real-world construction and demolition projects we handle daily for San Francisco contractors and builders
ADU Construction
San Francisco's ADU boom creates significant CD debris. New accessory dwelling unit construction generates framing waste, drywall scraps, roofing materials, and packaging debris. Most contractors need 20-30 yard containers for the build phase.
Victorian Home Restoration
Historic Victorian renovations in neighborhoods like The Castro and Mission District require careful debris handling. Heavy plaster walls, original hardwood flooring, and lead paint considerations. 15-20 yard containers typical for phased work.
Seismic Retrofitting
Earthquake retrofits are mandatory for many San Francisco properties. Foundation work, structural bracing, and wall modifications generate concrete debris, old lumber, and metal materials. 20-30 yard containers recommended.
Fire Damage Restoration
Wildfire damage restoration projects require complete interior demolition. Smoke-damaged drywall, flooring, insulation, and personal belongings. Water damage from firefighting efforts compounds debris volume. 30-40 yard containers needed.
SOMA Condo Conversions
Converting warehouse and office space to residential units in SOMA creates massive debris volumes. Concrete flooring removal, wall demolition, and old infrastructure. Multiple 40-yard containers required for most conversions.
Water Damage Tear-Outs
San Francisco's aging infrastructure leads to pipe breaks and flooding. Water damage requires immediate drywall removal, flooring tear-out, and insulation replacement. 15-20 yard containers for typical single-family homes.
Kitchen Bath Gut Jobs
Full kitchen and bathroom renovations in San Francisco's compact homes create dense debris loads. Heavy tile, cast iron fixtures, and solid wood cabinets. 15-20 yard containers handle most residential gut jobs efficiently.
Multi-Family Renovations
Apartment building renovations in Richmond and Sunset districts require coordinated debris removal. Multiple units generate overlapping waste streams. Typically requires 2-3 dumpster swaps using 30-yard containers.
Garage Conversions
Converting garages to living space is popular in San Francisco's tight housing market. Concrete floor modifications, wall framing, and utility work. 10-15 yard containers sufficient for most garage conversion projects.
Window Siding Replacement
Hillside properties in Nob Hill and Russian Hill require extensive exterior work. Old windows, stucco siding, and weather-damaged materials. 20-yard containers handle most exterior renovation debris volumes.
Commercial Tenant Improvements
Downtown office buildings and retail spaces undergo frequent tenant improvement projects. Modular walls, suspended ceiling systems, carpet, and electrical modifications. 20-30 yard containers typical for commercial TI work.
Landscaping Demo
Hillside landscaping projects in Pacific Heights and Presidio Heights generate substantial debris. Retaining wall removal, concrete hardscaping, and large vegetation. 15-30 yard containers depending on project scope.

⚖️ How to Avoid Overweight Fees for Heavy CD Debris
🧱 Separate Heavy Materials
Keep concrete, brick, and tile in separate containers when possible. Clean heavy loads are cheaper to dispose of.
📊 Estimate Weight First
Use our weight guidelines. A 20-yard container of concrete weighs 6-8 tons, while mixed debris is 3-4 tons.
🔄 Multiple Smaller Containers
Two 15-yard containers may be more cost-effective than one overweight 30-yard for heavy materials.
