How much brick and masonry weigh

A standard brick is 4.5 lb. A pallet is around 2,500.

The rule that catches people

Heavy material, so a 10-yard filled partway.

Worth knowing. Ask about clean brick with no mortar; some yards buy reclaimed brick rather than charging you to take it.

The cheaper route, if you have one

Masonry recyclers and reclaim yards.

Getting it ready

Clean brick behaves like concrete. It gets crushed and reused, and it gets the lower flat rate, provided the load is masonry and nothing else. Mortar still attached is fine. If you are salvaging whole bricks for reuse, reclaim yards will often collect them, which removes the disposal cost entirely.

Mention it when you book rather than after. It costs nothing declared and costs more found. See what else fits in a 10 yard.
