If You Load Sand Here, You're Bleeding Money ⚠️

Added: 2026-05-18

[00:00:00]If you're loading dirt along with these pavers, you're bleeding thousands of dollars in hauling fees. Today is all about selective demolition. Look at my attachment. I'm running a heavy-duty skeleton bucket. The construction goal here isn't just to rip up the interlocking pavement. It's to separate the sand bedding from the interlock concrete blocks. Watch the mechanics.

[00:00:19]Every time I boom up, I let gravity do the work. The fine sand sifts right through the ribs of the skeleton and drops straight back down to the subgrade. Why do we do this? To maximize the dump truck's volumetric efficiency.

[00:00:32]If I run a standard smooth edge bucket, I pack the bed with dead material, driving up the tare weight and paying trucking fees just to haul useless sand.

[00:00:40]Clean dump, pure payload ready for structural recycling. Fellow Dirt World contractors, when you're ripping out pavers, do you invest in a skeleton bucket like this, or do you run a standard bucket and eat the extra hauling costs?
