(this x3 - Chris' truck can only take a ton, so we had to take 3 trips)
Most dumps don't take concrete, so we were kinda stumped about what to do. We had asked the guys at BAU where they took their's when they hauled it away for people and they said a place named Syar out in Vallejo. They had a pretty good rate, $65 for a day and you could take unlimited loads, but hauling 3 loads of concrete to Vallejo would take a lot of time, and we were trying to get rid of it before I had to go to work at the A's that afternoon.
So Chris twiddled around on that handy dandy thing called the internet and found a place in Oakland, about 5 minutes from us called Aman Environmental Construction. They do all sorts of demo, construction work, and hazardous waste management. They're based in Covina, CA, but have offices all over the country, and a concrete crushing site in Oakland off of Hegenberger. The best news of all? Each trip you take to drop off your concrete is ony $10!!! Doesn't matter how big the load, it's $10! VERY exciting. We took 3 loads total, so it only cost us $30. And we FINALLY got rid of all of our concrete in the backyard, yay!
Aman was pretty cool. The first time we got there they were running their concrete crushing machines and I watched as Chris went in to pay. The next trip we took I brought my camera so I could snap pictures of everything in action, but they weren't running them anymore
And, another cool thing...when you leave, you drive onto a grate that WASHES YOUR CAR OFF
(sorry for the crappy pic, I was trying to hold my camera out the window and not get it wet while the wash was going)
So we LOVE Aman: they're cheap, they reuse the concrete by crushing it up and they wash your car when you leave. Awesome.
