BRICK DEMOLITION & RECYCLING SERVICES
Sustainable Brick Reuse in the Hudson Valley & NYC
If you’re wondering how to dispose of used bricks, cobblestones, or masonry materials, there’s a better option than the landfill.
At Chief Bricks, we specialize in brick reuse and reclamation, giving old bricks a second life while reducing demolition waste across the Hudson Valley, New York City, and surrounding areas.
Instead of crushing bricks for fill or disposal, we carefully recover, clean, and repurpose them for new construction, landscaping, and historic restoration projects.
This process preserves the character of traditional materials and supports a more sustainable building industry.
How Brick Demolition & Reuse Works
1. Send us pictures
Share pictures of the bricks or cobblestones you’re removing and we'll confirm what we can take.
2. Bring us the bricks
We'll palletize them on the spot and pay you per brick.
Or leave everything on-site
Let us know where the materials are located and how many you have. We'll arrange pickup.
This process helps contractors, homeowners, and property owners find a responsible solution for used brick disposal.
What We Do With Used Bricks
Chief Bricks is not a traditional recycling center. We focus on reuse, which is the highest and most sustainable form of recycling.
When bricks are suitable, we:
- Sort and grade them by size, color, and condition
- Clean bricks to remove old mortar
- Resell them for architectural, residential, and landscape projects
Bricks that cannot be reused are responsibly diverted whenever possible, minimizing landfill impact.

Why Reuse Bricks Instead of Disposing of Them?
- Cash & savings - Save on dumping fees, and turn demolition material into cash.
- Environmental Impact – Reuse reduces landfill waste and the need for new manufacturing
- Durability – Reclaimed bricks have already proven their strength over decades

Choosing brick reuse helps preserve architectural history while supporting modern sustainable design.
