Concrete Removal in Kuna

Kuna's growth over the last decade shows up in concrete. Newer subdivisions like Patagonia and Crimson Point come with poured patios, pool decks, and driveway extensions on their 0.13 to 0.38 acre lots. Head out toward Indian Creek Ranch or the acreage south and west of town, and you'll find older slabs too — footings, feed pads, and the occasional shed base left over from earlier construction.

Concrete removal isn't like clearing out a garage or a yard. Weight, reinforcement, and where the material is allowed to go all shape how the job gets done, whether it's a cracked driveway panel, a lifting pool deck, or an old foundation pad on a hobby farm.

Why This Isn't a Curbside Job

J&M Sanitation runs Kuna's trash, recycling, and yard waste carts, plus bulky-item pickup for things too big for the cart. Concrete doesn't fit that program. A broken slab or a torn-out patio is heavier and bulkier than what curbside pickup is built to handle, and it isn't yard waste.

If the concrete is tied to a permitted structure — a slab under a shed or an addition, for example — Kuna's Building Department may require a demolition permit before it comes out. And if you need a dumpster sitting in the street or on the shoulder to load debris, that's ACHD right-of-way, which means a separate temporary use permit.

Where the Concrete Actually Goes

Ada County's landfill, Hidden Hollow, sits up in the North Boise foothills off Seamans Gulch Road — roughly 30 miles from Kuna. It takes construction and demolition debris, including concrete, along with scrap metal and clean wood. For most Kuna drop-offs, the Meridian Transfer Station on Franklin is the closer option.

Both sites refuse waste that originated outside the county, and hazardous materials don't go in with regular C&D loads. That's part of why a concrete job gets sorted on site — clean concrete goes one way, any treated or painted wood from forms or framing goes another.

Mistakes Worth Avoiding

The biggest one is treating concrete like regular debris. Rebar and wire mesh run through a lot of poured patios and driveways in this area, and that changes how the material gets broken up and loaded. A slab that looks manageable on the surface can be a lot heavier than it looks once it's out of the ground.

On newer lots, irrigation lines and sprinkler heads often run right along patio and driveway edges. It's worth locating those before any breaking or digging starts.

• Check whether the slab has rebar or wire mesh running through it
• Mark irrigation lines and sprinkler heads near patio or driveway edges before work begins
• Confirm whether a demolition permit applies if the slab is tied to a structure
• Get an ACHD permit if a dumpster needs to sit in the street or right-of-way
• Keep wood forms, stakes, and framing separate from the concrete pile
• Remember out-of-county waste isn't accepted at either disposal site
