Blocks

Hi everyone,Need some help on A bid 20 stores 181 expol blocks put down and the old ones removed.The stores are not that far apart.Never worked with blocks before.Thanks in advance Ken

Removing and disposing of the old ones might cost more than the new installation. Do you have a place to put the old ones? New parking curbs seem to range from $30 - 75. I charge $15 to pull up and haul off an old bumper. You can chunk them in a dumpster, but 181 might draw attention.

Check with a local asphalt plant, as many have crushers and accept concrete and asphalt to be crushed and recycled. plants around here in Utah charge anywhere from $1.50 -$10 per ton, depending on what you are bringing in. We charge anywhere from $15-25 for removal and disposal per block. If any are in good condition, and you have the space you might keep a few, we have a small pile in our yard of used blocks that we paint and re-sale at a discounted rate compared to new, it works great for people needing only one or two.

I had been taking mine to the local landfill. They charge by the cubic foot. They really just kinda eyeball the load. I believe it was like $45.00 for a 6x12 dump trailer. I'd say you could probably get 40-50 to a load. the trick is getting the old ones in the trailer. After much thought about the best way to do it. I decided that it would be best to remove all the old stops first. When the new stops arrive, :-*beg/bribe the delivery guy to use his forklift/donkey to put the old ones in your dump trailer. If you have your own forklift you'll have a little more flexibility. Another option for disposal is the "fill dirt wanted" areas. Be sure and check first , some places differ on what they take. I lucked out and found a guy who takes anything, except trash and brush As far as what to charge, get as much as you can. I always get that "Is that the best you can do???" response. I kindly ask them " Have you ever picked one of these things up?". That usually stops their whining. Honestly, I usually charge double what I pay for my stops (my vendor delivers for free within reasonable a distance) If he has to charge for delivery, I pass it on to the customer. For disposal I wouldn't go less than $10 each. Good luck, Dwayne
