Got About 70 Old Bricks in Levittown, PA? What Removal Costs and How to Get a Price From Photos

Yes, we take old bricks, and yes, there’s a charge. At Longship Junk Removal of Levittown, brick removal is priced by the load, not by a flat fee. Send a few photos or book a free pick-up consultation, and you’ll have a firm number before anything gets lifted anywhere in Lower Bucks County.

Yes, junk crews take old bricks, and the price depends on what you have

A homeowner with roughly 70 leftover bricks usually asks two things: will anyone take them, and what will it cost? The answers are yes and yes. Bricks are accepted, but they aren’t free to haul. They’re heavy, they have to be carried out by hand, and they have to be disposed of properly.

We won’t throw out a dollar figure before we’ve seen the pile, because a stack on a pallet by the driveway and a half-buried patio edge are very different jobs. The price is set by the load. We confirm it in writing before the first brick moves, and that number is the most you’ll pay.

What sets the price for about 70 bricks

Four things move the number. Here’s the quick view, then each one in turn.

Factor	Keeps it simpler	Adds time or cost
Weight	A small, tidy stack	Dense, oversized or very full piles
Condition	Clean, loose bricks	Mortared clusters, soil, broken pieces
Location	Beside the driveway	Backyard, basement, raised yard with steps
Extras	Bricks only	Pavers, planters, yard debris, furniture

How heavy 70 bricks really are

A brick count understates the load. A standard clay brick often runs around 4 to 5 pounds, depending on the type, so 70 of them add up to a few hundred pounds. Heavy.

That’s why we price from what we see in your photos, not from the number alone. You pay for the truck space the load fills, and a dense pile like this fills less of the truck than it makes your back feel.

Loose, stacked, or still stuck with mortar

Clean bricks stacked on a pallet are the quick version: we lift, load, done. Bricks still glued together with mortar take longer, since someone has to break the clusters apart or carry them as one awkward block. Bricks half sunk in soil are slower again.

Broken pieces and rubble are their own category and can price differently from whole bricks. The caller we spoke with never said what shape the bricks were in, which is exactly why a couple of photos help so much.

Where the pile sits and how far it has to travel

A pile at the edge of the driveway is a short carry. A patio at the back of the yard, a basement corner or a walk-down from a raised bed adds labor. Lots across Levittown vary quite a bit, from Ranchers with level side yards to Colonials with steps and tight gates, so access is worth a photo too.

Whatever the route, you don’t move anything to the curb. You point, we carry.

Whether the bricks are the only thing going

Old planter? Leftover pavers? A few bags of yard debris sitting next to the pile? Add them to the photos. Extra items change the size of the load, and one visit can clear all of it, which usually beats paying for a second trip later.

How to get a price on old bricks without committing to anything

There are two free, no-obligation routes: text a few photos, or schedule a free pick-up consultation. Either way, you get a firm quote before we load a thing, and sending photos doesn’t lock you into anything.

The photo route: what to send

Three pictures cover most piles. Take them in daylight if you can.

1. A wide shot that shows the whole pile from a few steps back.
2. A close-up of the bricks themselves, so we can see condition and any mortar.
3. A shot of where the pile sits and the path from there to the driveway.
4. A photo of anything else you want gone with it.

Text them to (267) 609-9327. You can also attach photos through the quote form on our site. You don’t need to include your name, address or anything else with the pictures.

When a free pick-up consultation is the better choice

Photos work for most small piles. A consultation is the better call when the pile is big, partly buried, mixed with other debris, or hard to capture on a phone. We come look, give you the number on the spot, and you decide.

It costs nothing either way. If you aren’t sure which route fits, start with photos and we’ll tell you if we’d rather see it in person.

What happens once you decide to schedule

Your contact details come in at scheduling, not before. After that the flow is short: the price is confirmed up front, the crew arrives, carries the bricks out, loads the truck and sweeps up. Same-day or next-day slots are often open.

Our phone is answered 24/7. A person picks up during business hours, and after hours an automated assistant introduces itself as one and takes your details so someone can call you back. That’s about answering calls, though. It doesn’t mean trucks roll at 2 a.m.

Can old bricks be reused instead of thrown away?

Often, yes. Sound old bricks make good borders, small walkways and patio edging, and reclaimed brick has its own market for that reason. Broken brick and masonry rubble can be recycled instead of buried.

Our approach is simple: we donate what’s usable and recycle the rest. Which way your batch goes depends on its condition, and clean, whole bricks have the best shot at a second life. If you’d rather keep a few for a garden edge, set them aside before we arrive.

Hauling 70 bricks yourself, renting a dumpster, or hiring a crew

Doing it yourself is realistic for a handful of bricks. For 70, you’re looking at several hundred pounds of lifting, a vehicle that can take the weight, and a dump or drop-off that accepts masonry. Bricks stress a car’s suspension fast, and the repeated bending is where backs get hurt.

A roll-off dumpster solves the disposal side but not the labor, and renting a whole container for one small pile rarely makes sense. You’d still do all the loading yourself.

A crew costs more than your own Saturday, and it’s worth it when the pile is heavy, the access is awkward, or you’d rather not spend the weekend on it. We think of it as the dumpster alternative: same result, none of the lifting. Whichever way you go, check with your township or Bucks County about how bricks and rubble are handled before they go anywhere near your regular trash.

What to keep out of the pile

Some things never go on our truck, bricks or not:

• Asbestos or anything containing it
• Paint, solvents, oils, chemicals and pesticides
• Propane tanks, fuel and other flammables
• Medical or biohazard waste

If your bricks came off an older structure and they’re painted or coated in residue you can’t identify, say so when you send photos. We’d rather sort that out before the crew shows up. For concrete slabs and other heavy masonry, tell us what you have and we’ll confirm what we can take.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many bricks count as a small job?

There’s no cutoff we’ve set. About 70 bricks is a normal job that we can estimate from photos. The price comes from the space and weight the load takes up, so tell us if you’ve got a minimum in mind and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

How much do 70 bricks weigh?

A standard clay brick is commonly around 4 to 5 pounds, which puts 70 at a few hundred pounds. It varies with brick type and with how much mortar or soil is stuck to them. Lifting that by hand over a dozen trips is the real work.

Do I have to send photos before I can book?

No. Photos are one of two free options. The other is a free pick-up consultation. If you send photos, you don’t need to include your name or address, since that comes when you schedule.

Do I need to move the bricks to the curb or be home?

You don’t move anything. The crew carries the bricks from wherever they sit. If you want to know whether someone needs to be there for an outdoor pickup, ask when you schedule and we’ll go over it.

Can I put old bricks in my regular trash?

Probably not. Bricks and masonry generally aren’t a fit for curbside household trash, and the rules differ by township and hauler. Check with yours before you bag anything up.

Do you take broken bricks and masonry rubble too?

Broken brick can ride along with a load, though it may price differently from whole bricks. For concrete, big chunks or heavy mortared sections, we’ll confirm what we take once we see them, so put them in your photos.

Is there a discount for seniors or veterans?

Yes. Seniors and veterans get 10% off, applied to the upfront quote.
