Removing an old concrete patio in Angus can quickly become a hauling problem.
The slab may be only a few inches thick. But once it is broken into chunks, concrete becomes extremely heavy. Loading it into a pickup truck or arranging repeated trailer rentals can slow your project, damage your driveway, and create extra disposal trips.
For many small patio, walkway, and concrete removal projects, an 8-yard specialty bin is the simpler solution.
It is built for heavy materials such as concrete, soil, and asphalt. Tor Bin Rental delivers driveway-safe bins across Angus and nearby communities. You can book online without making phone calls, choose your rental dates, and arrange pickup when the work is complete.
First, choose the correct bin for your material
The most important rule is material separation.
Use the 8-yard bin if:
You are removing clean broken concrete
You are disposing of clean soil or excavation material
You are removing clean asphalt from a driveway or walkway
You can keep the load separate from household and construction waste
Your material does not contain rebar or other prohibited items
Do not use the 8-yard bin for:
Household garbage
Mixed construction debris
Wood or lumber
Drywall
Insulation
Shingles
Furniture
Brush or yard waste
Hazardous materials
General renovation debris
⚠️ The 8-yard bin is strictly for specialty disposal. It is not a general-purpose construction bin.
If your Angus project includes concrete plus lumber, drywall, packaging, or household junk, use separate bins or contact Tor Bin Rental before booking. Read the related guide to the 8-yard specialty bin rule for concrete, soil, and asphalt.
8-yard concrete bin specifications
The 8-yard specialty bin is designed to keep heavy loads manageable.
Dimensions: 7' wide x 14' long x 2' tall
8-yard Concrete/Asphalt rate: $350
8-yard Soil rate: $300
Intended for clean concrete, soil, or asphalt only
Driveway-safe placement
Suitable for residential and small project sites
The shallow height helps with loading. You can move broken concrete using a wheelbarrow instead of lifting material over the side of a taller bin.
The 7' x 14' footprint also provides space for a controlled load while helping prevent excessive overloading. Concrete is dense, so the goal is not simply to fill the bin to the top. Load it safely and keep the material level.

How to remove a concrete patio in Angus
Concrete demolition is physically demanding. Plan the work before you start.
1. Inspect the patio
Check the slab before renting tools or scheduling delivery.
Look for:
Concrete thickness
Cracks or expansion joints
Reinforcing mesh
Rebar
Nearby steps, walls, fences, and landscaping
Buried utility lines
Drainage features or downspouts
A typical patio may be several inches thick. Older slabs can be thicker or reinforced. Reinforced concrete takes more time to cut and remove.
If you find rebar, wire mesh, footings, or unusually thick concrete, contact a demolition professional or Tor Bin Rental before booking the bin.
2. Prepare the work area
Clear the patio and create a safe path to the bin location.
You may need:
Safety glasses or a face shield
Hearing protection
Heavy work gloves
Steel-toe boots
Dust protection suitable for concrete work
Sledgehammer
Pry bar
Wheelbarrow
Electric jackhammer
Concrete saw or grinder
Bolt cutters or a metal-cutting tool
⚠️ Concrete creates sharp fragments and dust. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the demolition zone.
3. Break the slab from an exposed edge
Start at a corner or exposed edge. Do not begin in the centre if the edge is accessible.
Work inward and break the concrete into pieces that one person can safely move. Smaller pieces are easier to place in a wheelbarrow and distribute inside the bin.
For thicker concrete, a rented jackhammer may be more efficient than a sledgehammer. Use controlled movements. Avoid striking near gas lines, water lines, electrical conduits, or structures that must remain in place.
4. Separate steel and other materials
Keep the concrete load clean.
Remove:
Rebar
Wire mesh
Wood forms
Plastic
Soil
Garbage
Other mixed debris
The 8-yard specialty bin is for clean concrete, soil, or asphalt. Do not use it as a mixed-load container.
If your patio includes a wood deck frame, landscaping waste, broken fence boards, or general renovation debris, place those materials in the correct waste stream instead.
5. Load the bin evenly
Bring broken concrete to the bin with a wheelbarrow. Place heavy pieces across the floor instead of piling everything at one end.
Follow these rules:
Load below the top edge
Keep the material level
Spread heavy debris evenly
Do not build a mound above the rim
Do not leave concrete beside the bin
Keep the truck access route clear
Never overload the container
⚠️ DO NOT LOAD ABOVE THE TOP EDGE. An unsafe load may need to be corrected before pickup.
Why rent a bin instead of a trailer?
A trailer may look convenient. But concrete creates several problems.
Trailer rentals require more coordination
You may need to:
Pick up and return the trailer
Arrange a suitable tow vehicle
Make multiple trips
Find a disposal facility that accepts concrete
Pay separate tipping or disposal charges
Cover the trailer during storage
Load and unload the material yourself
A bin keeps the disposal container at your Angus property while you work.
A bin reduces repeated hauling
With an 8-yard specialty bin, you can demolish the patio over several hours or days. The container remains on site until pickup.
You do not have to:
Transport loose concrete through town
Clean concrete dust out of a trailer
Schedule multiple disposal runs
Find temporary storage for broken slab pieces
Tor Bin Rental handles delivery and pickup. You handle the demolition and loading.
Protect your Angus driveway during delivery
Concrete demolition is hard enough without worrying about property damage.
Tor Bin Rental uses driveway-safe delivery practices designed to help protect asphalt, concrete, and other surfaces. Before delivery:
Move vehicles from the placement area
Clear tools and materials
Keep the approach accessible
Avoid overhead branches and wires
Identify soft ground or drainage areas
Tell us about gates, narrow access, or tight turns
Keep the bin location away from entrances and emergency access
Driveway-safe equipment helps reduce risk, but placement still matters. The truck needs a clear route and a stable area for the bin.
Review local delivery information on the Angus service area page.
