How much do bricks weigh? Enough to wreck your business when you ignore the numbers.
Too many people walk into junk removal jobs blind—no weight estimates, no disposal costs, no plan. Then they ask, "What do I charge?"
Know this:
🔹 A brick weighs 4 lbs.
🔹 A cinder block clocks in at 35–40 lbs.
🔹 100 of those = 2 tons.
You’re not picking up junk—you’re also moving weight. That’s labor, fuel, wear-and-tear, and tipping fees. That also goes into pricing.
Inexperience has a cost. Guesswork doesn’t pay. Crowd-sourcing from Facebook groups won’t save your margins. Do the math people.
Quoting a remodel like it’s a garage cleanout? That’s where profit disappears. Construction debris doesn’t play by the same rules.
Price the work like a pro.
Know the weight.
Know the worth.
Do the work.
