Bin or weight overage fees
Trigger: Waste weight exceeds the standard bin tonnage allowance of approximately 5 to 7 tons.
An additional bin or weight overage fees may apply. This example identifies approximately $400 to $700 in possible additional cost.
Concrete footing removal
Trigger: The existing footing is found to be structurally unsound, or the homeowner requests full removal.
Removing and disposing of the concrete footing would be added work. This example identifies approximately $950 to $1,450 in possible additional cost.
The real conversation behind this estimate
The real conversation behind this estimate
This is the how RenoFiz gathered the facts and turned a simple request into a scoped estimate.
Need a price to remove and dispose of a cinder block fence. About 100’ in total length and about 50” above footing. Concrete footing to remain in place. The fence is clearly falling over and should be easy to dismantle
I've reviewed the photos and the details you provided. Removing a leaning cinder block fence of that length is a straightforward demolition task, though the weight of the concrete and the disposal requirements in the Vancouver area are the main cost drivers.
To give you an accurate estimate, I have a few specific questions:
Question: What is your postal code?
Question: Do you know roughly what year the fence was built?
- Pre-1990
- 1990 or newer
- I'm not sure
Question: Is there clear access for a disposal bin to be dropped in the driveway or alley right next to the fence?
- Yes, plenty of room right next to it
- No, it's a tight space or a long walk to the street
Photos that would help The photos you sent are great for seeing the fence condition. One more would be helpful:
- An overview of the access path showing where a truck or disposal bin would park relative to the fence.

Do you know roughly what year the fence was built?: 1990 or newer
