An inground pool produces two very different kinds of debris, broken concrete and clean fill, and the right container depends on which one you are hauling. We size for both, and price the concrete at a flat rate with no weight cap.
A pool comes out in stages, and each stage produces a different kind of debris.
A full pool removal breaks the shell into concrete and rebar, which is heavy and dense, and then either fills the hole with dirt or leaves it open for a new structure. Concrete and clean fill dirt are both eligible for flat rate pricing, with no weight limit, as long as they travel separately from anything else.
A partial or “cap and fill” removal, common where full excavation is not required, produces less concrete debris but still needs a container for what is broken up and removed before the fill goes in.
Two containers usually cover a pool job: one for the concrete, one for anything mixed.
Selected size
Rental is for up to 7 days. Price per ton over is $165.00/ton.
A typical 15 by 30 foot inground pool produces 20 to 30 tons of broken concrete, which is why the flat rate container exists: at $165 a ton, that weight in a standard container would cost more than the demolition itself.
Pool debris splits cleanly into two categories, and keeping them apart is what makes the flat rate pricing work.
Four steps, with the material split decided before the first container arrives.
Dimensions and whether it is a full or partial removal. That decides one container or two.
A flat rate container for concrete, a standard one for anything mixed, on the same visit if needed.
Concrete and fill stay in separate containers throughout the job.
Multi-container jobs run on a swap schedule, so the site is never blocked waiting on a haul.

Weight, pricing, and how the concrete and fill are handled.
The concrete goes in the flat rate container at $550, with no weight limit. A mixed-debris container for anything else runs from $765 for a 30 yard. Most pool jobs use both, on the same delivery or a scheduled swap.
A typical 15 by 30 foot inground pool produces 20 to 30 tons of broken concrete and rebar. At the standard $165 per ton overage rate, that would cost more in a regular container than the entire flat rate price.
Yes, if the concrete and dirt are not going in together. Clean dirt has its own flat rate at $650. Mixing concrete and dirt in the same load is fine since both qualify for the flat rate, but mixing either with general debris cancels it.
A 30 yard usually covers decking and coping removed separately from the pool shell. Larger decks or combined deck-and-shell jobs may need a 40 yard or a second container.
Yes. Facilities separate rebar from crushed concrete magnetically after processing, so reinforced concrete is accepted at the same flat rate as plain concrete.
Rentals run 1 to 21 days, and multi-container jobs are usually arranged as a swap: a full container leaves and an empty one arrives on the same visit, so the crew keeps working.
Yes, one for concrete and one for anything mixed, delivered together or staged as the job requires. Tell us the sequence when you book.
The liner has to come out before the concrete or gunite shell is broken and loaded, since vinyl mixed into a concrete load disqualifies it from the flat rate.
Short answer: pool demolition debris in Concord typically needs one to three flat rate containers for concrete, at $550 each with no weight limit, plus a standard container from $765 for anything mixed. A mid-size inground pool produces 20 to 30 tons of concrete, which is why the flat rate exists.
Pool removal is the single job on our site where the weight math is the most dramatic. A 15 by 30 foot pool shell, broken up with the rebar still inside, commonly weighs 20 to 30 tons. In a standard container billed by weight, that overage alone would run into the thousands. In the flat rate container, it is $550 per load, full stop.
The number of flat rate containers a job needs scales with the pool’s footprint, not with how the job is priced overall. Here is the range we see across the sizes that come up most often.
| Pool size | Concrete weight | Containers needed | Concrete cost range | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small (10×20 ft, above/inground) | 6-9 tons | 1 flat rate container | $550 | Coping and small decking add ~1 ton |
| Medium (15×30 ft, standard inground) | 20-30 tons | 1-2 flat rate containers | $550-$1,100 | Typical suburban pool |
| Large (20×40 ft or freeform) | 35-50 tons | 2-3 flat rate containers | $1,100-$1,650 | Common with attached spa or large decking |
| Any size, cap and fill | 40-60% of full removal weight | Usually 1 container | $550-$800 | Top portion only, less rebar exposed |
These are estimates based on standard gunite and shotcrete construction. A pool with an unusually thick shell, a raised spa, or extensive decking can run heavier than its footprint suggests, which is why we confirm the container count from the actual dimensions rather than the table alone.
Steel rebar left inside broken pool shell concrete is fine for the flat rate container, the same as it is for a driveway slab; the recycling facility separates it magnetically once the concrete is crushed. What does not qualify is anything the demolition crew leaves mixed in on purpose to save a trip, like coping stones with attached tile or plaster still bonded to fencing hardware, since sorting that at the facility gate reclassifies the whole load.
A full removal takes the entire shell out and either backfills the hole or leaves it for new construction. A cap and fill removal breaks only the top portion of the walls and caps the pool below grade, producing roughly 40 to 60 percent of the concrete weight of a full removal. Permit requirements for pool demolition are set locally; the California Contractors State License Board maintains licensing standards for demolition contractors if you are hiring one for the excavation itself.
