Berkeley is a pre-war city on small lots: Craftsman and brown-shingle homes in Elmwood, Claremont and North Berkeley, Victorians in South and West Berkeley, post-war infill in Westbrae, and a dense student-housing belt around campus. The remodel work follows the housing (kitchens, foundations, seismic retrofits, ADUs), and every one of those jobs produces lath-and-plaster, old framing and concrete that has to leave through a short driveway on a busy street.
We run Berkeley daily from our Hayward yard, straight up I-880 through Oakland, on the same route as Albany and El Cerrito. Through 2028 the Southside and Downtown blocks around Bancroft and Shattuck carry construction traffic from the new 23-story residence hall, so a morning delivery window is the easy way to keep a bin drop on schedule there.
Same-day delivery across Berkeley, from the flats along San Pablo Ave to the hills above Grizzly Peak.
Berkeley's pre-war housing means lath-and-plaster, old cabinetry and layers of flooring coming out at once. A 20-yard handles a kitchen or bath; a whole-floor remodel usually wants a 30.
Soft-story and foundation retrofits produce broken concrete, cripple-wall framing and dirt. Put the concrete and dirt in an inert bin with no weight limit and keep the wood in a general bin. Mixing them costs more.
Backyard cottages and garage conversions are common on Berkeley lots. Phase the bins: one for demo, one for framing and finish, so the driveway stays usable between stages.
Property managers around Southside and Downtown turn units at the same time every year. A 10 or 20-yard on a private lot or in a parking area clears furniture and carpet without a street permit; book early for August.
Sizes we actually send for the jobs we see most in Berkeley. Berkeley prices for every size are in the table at the top of this page, and inert bins never carry a weight limit.
| Project | Size we send | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen or bath remodel | 10 or 20-yard | Lath-and-plaster and old cabinetry are bulky but light; a 20 handles a full kitchen. |
| Whole-floor remodel | 30-yard | Flooring, drywall and framing from an upper floor fill a 30; swap mid-job if the lot cannot take it. |
| Foundation or seismic retrofit | 10-yard inert + 20-yard general | Broken concrete and dirt in the inert bin (no weight limit); cripple-wall framing in the general bin. |
| ADU or garage conversion | 20-yard, phased | One bin for demo, one for framing and finish, so the driveway stays usable. |
| Hills brush clearing | 10 or 20-yard | Yard waste in a general bin; narrow streets off Grizzly Peak and Euclid favor the smaller size. |
Berkeley lots are small and the streets are busy, so the first question is whether the bin fits in the driveway. Most Elmwood, North Berkeley and Westbrae driveways take a 10 or 20-yard; a 30 or 40-yard usually needs the street, and anything in the public right-of-way needs a permit from the City's Permit Service Center before delivery day. In the Berkeley Hills the constraint is the road itself (tight, steep turns off Grizzly Peak and Euclid), so tell us the street when you book and we will match the truck to it. Around campus and Downtown, expect construction traffic near Bancroft and Shattuck through 2028 while the new residence hall goes up; a morning delivery window avoids most of it.
Berkeley requires a Construction & Demolition Waste Management Plan on new residential buildings, additions, residential projects over $100,000, non-residential permits and demolitions over $3,000, filed in the City's online tracking system. At least 65% of the debris has to be diverted from landfill and all concrete, asphalt and land-clearing debris recycled. Keeping concrete, dirt, brick and asphalt in a separate inert bin is the simplest way to meet both numbers, and the weight receipt we provide after every load is what you upload.
Each Berkeley load is weighed in and out at the facility; the gross, tare and net figures come to you by email after pickup with photos of the load, and that same receipt is what the City's diversion tracking asks for. Questions about what goes in which bin? Call (510) 900-4664.
