What we take away in Riga

Construction waste is not one material, which is why the price cannot be a single number. A cubic metre of concrete weighs up to two tonnes; a cubic metre of wood ten times less. A truck fills with concrete at a cubic metre and a half, with wood at ten. Below is the full list of what we take, what each material weighs, and an honest list of what we do not take and why.

Concrete, brick and mortar

The heaviest materials. Weight limits the load, not volume — several trips are often needed even for a modest amount.

Wood, plasterboard and insulation

Light materials that take up a lot of room. Considerably more fits into a single load.

Metal

Ferrous and non-ferrous metals go separately. In larger quantities that can bring the overall price down.

Mixed renovation waste

The most common case — tiles, wallpaper, skirting and mortar together. The price sits in between, so we work it out from photos.

What a cubic metre of each material weighs

This table explains almost everything about what removal costs. A truck has two limits — volume and permitted weight — and with heavy materials the weight runs out first.

MaterialWeight per m³Fits in a 3.5 t truckLimited by
Concrete, reinforced concrete1800–2400 kgaround 1.5 m³Weight
Brick, masonry rubble1300–1800 kgaround 2 m³Weight
Tiles with mortar1200–1600 kgaround 2.2 m³Weight
Floor screed1400–1800 kgaround 2 m³Weight
Soil, subsoil1400–1900 kgaround 2 m³Weight
Mixed renovation waste400–700 kg5–8 m³Both
Plasterboard300–500 kg7–10 m³Volume
Wood, boards, skirting200–400 kg10–15 m³Volume
Insulation, mineral wool50–150 kg15+ m³Volume
Packaging, sheeting, cardboard50–100 kg15+ m³Volume

The figures are indicative and depend on how damp and how compacted the material is.

What we do not take

We do not take these — not because we would rather not, but because they have their own legally defined route. If you are not sure what you have, add a photo to the form.

Asbestos and corrugated asbestos sheeting

Old roofing sheet, asbestos cement panels, some old insulation and adhesives. Asbestos is hazardous waste, and collecting and disposing of it needs a separate licence and equipment. What to look for: old grey corrugated sheeting or panels from Soviet-era buildings.

Chemicals and liquids

Leftover paint and varnish, solvents, fuel, oils, batteries, acids. Hazardous waste, and they must go to a designated collection point — even if it is only a few tins.

Tyres

Car tyres have their own disposal route, and most construction waste facilities will not take them. They can usually go to a tyre depot or a sorted waste site.

Medical waste

Medicines, needles, medical devices. These go to a pharmacy or a designated collection point.

Gas cylinders

Even empty gas cylinders and pressurised aerosol containers are an explosion risk and cannot go in a general load.

If you are not sure

Add a photo to the form. We will say at once whether we can take it and, if not, where it can go. Free, and it takes a couple of minutes.

Frequently asked questions

Why does removing concrete cost more than removing wood?
Because the truck is limited by its permitted weight. A cubic metre of concrete weighs up to 2400 kg, a cubic metre of wood around 300 kg. With concrete the truck is full at a cubic metre and a half, so the same volume takes more trips.
Do I have to sort the waste before it is collected?
Not at all — we take mixed waste. If the materials are already separate it makes disposal easier and can bring the price down, but sorting is not your job.
What if there is something among the waste that you do not take?
Add a photo to the form. We will tell you straight away whether we can take it and, if not, where it can be disposed of lawfully. It is usually only a small part of the total, and we remove the rest as normal.
