hi, i need major help xD
i removed some patio stones on the side to make room to park a second car. between the patio stones and the asphalt, there are some concrete blocks which i dug out.
i need to get rid of them. there are 6 of them at roughly: 6inch width X 8feet length X about 1 feet deep
who can i call and how much would it cost to get rid of them. :D they look pretty nice and i can see a company using them somewhere.

Post it on craiglist, I managed to get rid of concrete builder steps and a bench for free. Just offer it for free and you wil lget tons of emails asking for it, pick someone, contact them and it's done!

ill post it but they are really big, not like patio stones; so i don't see them going for free. do you know any companies that dispose of concrete?

just post everything you know about them, the size, take pics and warn people that it IS heavy, you'll find someone for sure if they are in good condition...

If you can't get anyone to take them then rent a bin, buy a sledge hammer, get some eye protection, and have at er. Don't forget the advil for later.

Actually, the bigger it is, the more people wants it because it is expensive to buy it new. I assume you are not talking about super big. But, since you said you dig it out, it can't be that big.

well, its just like the concrete blocks in front of parking spots, but just 1 feet deep. i called a rent a bin, but they are charging 230ish. i don't need the whole bin and i can probably break it down to put it in my self. do rentabin get any cheaper?

As suggested, more than once already, you can get rid of them for FREE on craigslist or Kijiji.
Take lots of pics, and someone will come and pick them up.
Why do the work yourself, then pay someone to take them away if you can avoid it all??????
