Concrete is heavy, bulky, and banned from most regular dumpsters and landfills as general waste — but it's also one of the most recyclable materials on a job site. In Pinellas County, the cheapest and greenest option is almost always to haul clean concrete to a local recycling yard instead of paying landfill tip fees.
What counts as “clean” concrete
Clean concrete means broken slabs, sidewalk, curb, driveway, block, and brick that's free of trash, wood, heavy rebar tangles, and contamination. Light embedded rebar is usually fine; a load mixed with garbage or dirt-caked debris may be rejected or charged.
At ATLAS we also accept asphalt and clean fill dirt — so a typical demo load can often go to one place.
Where to take it
ATLAS Recycling is at 4470 122nd Ave N, Clearwater, FL 33762 — central to Pinellas and a short haul from Largo, Pinellas Park, Seminole, and St. Petersburg. Clean-concrete drop-off is free, and a full clean load earns a $10 credit toward recycled material. We're open Monday–Friday 7–5 and Saturday 7–2.
Pull in, dump, and drive out with a digital gate ticket — usually about 15 minutes.
Turn disposal into supply
Because we crush what comes in, you can often leave with recycled material for your next phase — road base, #57 rock, or paver base — and skip a separate supply run. That's the whole idea: concrete in, aggregate out.
