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.

In my gardening, I've found lots of debris too. The one I recall offhand is one of those hanging planters, made of wire, that was originally filled with moss. So all that was left were lots of bits of rusted wire, many which made me check on my latest tetanus shot. Why it was found about 6 inches below the soil and on a rocky hilltop (where the dirt is at best 8 inches deep before hitting solid rock) is beyond anyone's guess.
