Covert dumping issues

[chrisinhouston]

Yesterday my son and I ripped up the old ceramic tile floor on our kitchen as another phase of the remodeling project. I hated that floor, almost white so it showed every bit of dirt tracked in and the grout was not sealed right so it was dark and dirty.

My Makita rotary hammer made quick work of it and we put a big box fan in one window and opened the others which kept it pretty much dust free. We filled up heavy duty cardboard boxes with the broken tile and grout just heavy enough not to break them. I have 18 boxes!

Now I am in search of a covert dumping spot since my trash guys won't touch construction and demo waste without a large extra charge. I usually find dumpsters behind business for light construction stuff but ideally for this waste I would like to find a construction project where they will be regrading everything eventually. That way it's just like the rocks already there and gets plowed under the ground. I found one such spot yesterday and turned out the contents of 6 boxes, however I prefer to not use the same spot twice so I am out searching my area. And I don't dump the boxes, that would be littering, I take them home for the regular trash. I do have principles!

I will probably have to rent a diamond concrete grinder from HD, to get the thinset up; they run about $100 per day and you wet the floor down to avoid a dust bomb and then wet vac it all up. Walking barefoot on old thinset is no fun.
