Rubble removal in South Africa is usually priced per load: about R600 to R1,200 for a bakkie, R900 to R1,800 for a 4m³ trailer and R1,800 to R3,000 for a 6m³ tipper. Loading and dump fees are normally included. Concrete, soil and difficult access push the price up.

Measure the pile roughly: length × width × height in metres gives you cubic metres. A bakkie takes about 1 to 1.5m³, a trailer about 4m³ and a tipper about 6m³. Photos with something for scale help a specialist quote accurately.

It should go to a licensed landfill or a builders' rubble recycling site. Illegal dumping is a real problem in South Africa, and in some cases the property owner can be implicated. Ask your specialist where they dump, and for a disposal slip if you want proof.

Broken bricks, concrete, tiles, plaster, sand, stone and soil from building or renovation work. Mixed loads with wood, metal or garden waste are usually fine too, but hazardous materials like asbestos, paint and chemicals need specialist handling and cannot go with ordinary rubble.
