Abstract

A method and system for removing construction debris to greatly reduce cost and improve the aesthetics and removal of hazardous debris from a construction site. The system includes using a predetermined-sized small steel bin placed at the site that is small enough to be cost effective while at the same time having sufficient storage space for construction debris. A low cost vehicle is used that includes a capture arm that is controlled by a single person for removing trash from the steel bin that is placed in the low cost truck and removed on a periodic basis.

Claims

1. A system for low cost construction debris removal and to provide aesthetic debris storage comprising:

a small steel rectangular trash bin less than 9 feet long, less than 6 feet wide, and less than 6 feet high for receiving construction debris; and

a small vehicle having a debris sized bed and grasping means to recover debris from said bin using a single operator.

2. A system as in claim 1, wherein:

said vehicle includes a debris removal arm sized to reach over and into said bin.

3. A method of economically removing trash from a construction site comprising the steps of:

(1) providing a small steel trash bin less than 8 feet long, less than 4 feet wide and less than 6 feet high at a construction site; and

(2) using a small truck with a trash storing bed at said site periodically to haul away trash.
