Before a concrete driveway can be poured, the old one has to come out. Before a foundation goes in, the site has to be cleared. Before a backyard patio project starts, the debris that has accumulated over years has to go somewhere. That somewhere is our truck — and we handle it fast, efficiently, and with our own equipment so you are not coordinating three separate companies to get one job done.

M&M Concrete and our subsidiary ABQ Backhoe & Bobcat Services have been removing junk, debris, and construction waste throughout Albuquerque for over 45 years. We own our own backhoes, Bobcats, and haul-off equipment. One call gets you the crew, the equipment, and the haul-off — all under one company. Call us at (505) 550-0418 for a free estimate.

Why Junk & Debris Removal Matters Before Concrete Work

Most homeowners think about junk removal as a standalone task. For us, it is almost always the first step in a concrete project — and the quality of that first step determines the quality of everything that comes after it.

When organic material — roots, lumber, vegetation, old debris — is left under a concrete slab, it decays. As it decays it creates voids. Soil settles into those voids. Concrete above them cracks and drops. We have been called to replace Albuquerque driveways and patios that failed within two to three years because the site was not properly cleared before the pour. Debris removal done right is not just cleanup — it is the foundation of a foundation.

What We Remove in Albuquerque

M&M Concrete and ABQ Backhoe & Bobcat Services handle a wide range of junk and debris removal throughout Albuquerque and central New Mexico. Here is what we take:

Concrete Demolition & Debris Removal

Concrete demolition and debris removal is the most common removal service we provide in Albuquerque — and it is almost always the first step in a driveway, patio, or foundation replacement project. Old concrete does not fix itself. When it is cracked, sunken, and beyond repair, it has to come out before anything better can go in.

How Our Concrete Demolition Process Works

• Assessment. We look at the existing concrete — thickness, condition, access, and what is underneath. We identify any root intrusion, caliche, or sub-grade issues before we start so there are no mid-project surprises.
• Demolition. We break up the existing concrete using our own jackha1mmers and backhoe equipment. Large slabs get broken into manageable sections for efficient loading.
• Loading and haul-off. Broken concrete is loaded and hauled away the same day in most cases. We do not leave debris on your property overnight.
• Site assessment after removal. With the old concrete out, we assess the sub-grade condition — identifying soft spots, root systems, caliche, and any issues that need to be addressed before new concrete goes in.

Construction & Renovation Debris Removal

Home renovation projects in Albuquerque generate enormous amounts of debris — roofing materials, drywall, lumber, flooring, old cabinetry — that has to go somewhere before the project can progress. We handle construction debris removal for both residential homeowners mid-renovation and contractors who need a reliable haul-off partner for ongoing projects.

Full Property & Lot Cleanouts

Albuquerque properties — especially established neighborhoods in the North Valley, Heights, Corrales, and the East Mountains — accumulate years of junk, debris, and unwanted materials over time. Old owners, estate situations, neglected rental properties, and pre-sale cleanouts all create the same need: get everything out fast, efficiently, and without the homeowner having to touch any of it.

M&M Concrete and ABQ Backhoe & Bobcat Services — 45+ years — handles full property cleanouts throughout Albuquerque. We bring the equipment, we bring the crew, and we haul everything away. Here is what full property cleanout looks like for our clients:

• Pre-sale cleanouts. Clearing accumulated junk, old furniture, landscaping debris, and outbuildings from a property before listing. A clean property photographs better, shows better, and commands a higher sale price. We have done pre-sale cleanouts throughout Albuquerque — from the North Valley to the East Mountains.
• Estate cleanouts. Clearing a deceased family member’s property efficiently and respectfully. We handle everything from furniture and appliances to old outbuildings and accumulated yard debris.
• Rental property cleanouts. Clearing out a tenant-damaged or neglected rental property before renovation and reletting. We work fast — getting the property ready for the renovation crew as quickly as possible.
• Hoarded property cleanouts. We approach every cleanout professionally and without judgment. Our equipment handles volume efficiently — what would take a crew days by hand, our Bobcat and haul-off equipment clears in hours.

Commercial & Job Site Debris Removal

Commercial property owners and contractors in Albuquerque need a reliable debris removal partner — one who shows up when scheduled, has the equipment for the volume, and charges honest rates without surprise fees. M&M Concrete — 45+ years — works with commercial property owners, general contractors, and builders as a direct haul-off and debris removal partner.

Our Equipment — Why It Makes the Difference

Most junk removal companies in Albuquerque operate with a truck and a crew of people loading by hand. That works for household items and light debris. It does not work for broken concrete slabs, buried debris, old structures, or anything that requires excavation to remove. M&M Concrete and ABQ Backhoe & Bobcat Services — 45+ years — brings real heavy equipment to every removal job.

Frequently Asked Questions — Junk & Debris Removal Albuquerque

How much does junk removal cost in Albuquerque?

Haul-off loads run $500 to $850 per load for concrete, general junk, construction debris, and green waste. Full property cleanouts run $800 to $15,000+ depending on property size and material volume. Backhoe and Bobcat services for loading and demolition run $135 to $175 per hour with operator included. We provide written estimates after assessing your specific site — no surprises after you sign. See our complete 2026 pricing guide for detailed breakdowns.

Do you haul off concrete debris after demolition?

Yes — that is one of our most common services. We break up existing concrete using our own equipment, load it, and haul it away the same day in most cases. The concrete demolition and haul-off is often the first step in a driveway, patio, or foundation replacement project. One company handles demo, haul-off, site prep, and the new concrete pour — no separate contractors, no scheduling gaps.

Can you remove an old concrete driveway and replace it on the same project?

Yes — and this is exactly how we prefer to work. We demo and haul the old driveway, assess the sub-grade, prepare the base, and pour the new concrete. One crew, one company, one invoice. See our complete driveway replacement guide and our concrete demolition and replacement guide for details.

What size loads do you haul in Albuquerque?

We haul everything from single-load residential cleanouts to multi-load commercial project debris removal. Our equipment handles concrete slabs, large debris piles, full property cleanouts, and ongoing job site haul-off. For large commercial projects requiring multiple loads over multiple days, we discuss scheduling during the estimate visit.

Do you remove old sheds and outbuildings?

Yes. We demolish and remove old sheds, storage buildings, carports, covered structures, and outbuildings throughout Albuquerque. Our Bobcat and backhoe equipment makes short work of structures that would take a hand crew all day. We demo it, load it, and haul it away — leaving you with a clean site ready for whatever comes next.

Can you haul off green waste and vegetation debris in Albuquerque?

Yes. Brush, native vegetation, tree limbs, stumps, root balls, old landscaping materials, and gravel are all items we haul. Green waste haul-off is often part of our land clearing services — where we clear the vegetation, grub the root systems, and haul everything away before the concrete or construction work begins.

How quickly can you schedule junk removal in Albuquerque?

We schedule based on project size and current workload. For smaller single-load haul-off jobs, we can often schedule within a few days. For larger property cleanouts and projects that require equipment, we discuss a realistic timeline during the estimate visit. Call us at (505) 550-0418 and we will give you a straight answer on availability for your specific project.
