I have roughly 19 yds of 4” slab I need to dispose of. Half is under a structure that will be demo’d. The other half is the driveway to the structure. Im still young and dumb enough to try and do this myself (probably wont) but the disposal fees are whats ridiculous everywhere I look. Closest recycler is 35 mins from me so not exactly convenient. Lots of drive time for what would be at least 10 trailer loads for me if I do it myself. Most roll offs I see cap the weight at 6-8k lbs so Id need $3k worth of dumpsters. I realize its going to cost money but that seems like a lot for just the disposal. Not including equip, man hours etc. I also realize concrete does not easily recycle. So I thought Id see if anyone in the construction biz might steer me differently. Thanks for any help. Needless to say Im dreading this project. Im planning to rent a saw to grid the pads for easier removal either way. Thanks for any info.
 
Rent an excavator for a day or two and dig a hole and bury it.
Would if I could…
The hardest part will learning how to drive it but that won't take long either.
There is usually a switch underneath the seat to switch the controls....some people learn better on a certain setting.
Used to maintain and operate a 310/410 JD. Its been a few years but it would come right back.
