Whenever I dig a hole in my yard to plant anything, I end up removing broken bricks, random chunks of concrete, shattered paving stones, and other detritus. When a plant isn't doing well, I can usually dig down and find whatever large object was pushing on its roots. I've been piling these chunks up by the back of my house, since I don't think I can legally put it out with the trash. I've re-used some of the less broken pieces to make a stone path, but I honestly don't need that many brick-like objects.

Now my pile has grown to the point where it's in the way (keeping me from wheeling my trash cans out), so I'm suddenly motivated to make it disappear. Can anybody recommend a waste removal service for this stuff? I probably have around ten cubic feet of bricks, brick-like objects, and cement/mortar/concrete.

Possibly just a house. We had the same experience with digging up random stuff in the yard...to the point where we mentioned it to the landlord's "handyman" brother and he kind of chuckled and said "oh, you found all that, huh?"

We interpreted that to mean it WAS construction debris that they decided to bury instead of dispose of properly. (Seeing as it was mostly matching tile and they told us they redid our kitchen floor a few years back, it wasn't too big a stretch.)
