What Birmingham contractors screen on-site.

01
C&D debris sorting

Separate mixed demolition debris into clean aggregate, sized fines, and oversized rejects. Reduce disposal volume by 40-60% and recover reusable material on-site.

02
Aggregate sizing

Sort gravel, crushed stone, and sand into spec products. Two decks and three conveyors produce three grades simultaneously from a single feed.

03
Topsoil cleanup

Remove rocks, roots, and debris from excavated soil. Clean topsoil stays on-site for grading and landscaping. Contaminants go to a smaller reject pile.

04
Pre-screening for crusher

Scalp out fines and dirt before feeding a jaw crusher. Cleaner feed means higher throughput and less jaw plate wear. Both machines on one delivery.

05
Log yard debris

Separate bark, chips, and fines from mixed log yard material. Recover chips for mulch or biomass. Remove contaminants that reduce product value.

06
Landfill reclamation

Process excavated landfill material to recover aggregate, soil, and reusable fill. Screening reduces the volume headed back to disposal.

02 / The math

Stop hauling unsorted material.

C&D tipping fees in Alabama average $42.5 per ton. Every ton you sort on-site is a ton you do not pay full tipping on. Screening recovers reusable aggregate and fines worth $8-18 per ton, while reducing the volume you haul by 40-60%.

The numbers

On-site screening vs. hauling: cost comparison for Birmingham contractors.

The economics of on-site screening in Birmingham come down to one equation: sorted material is worth more than unsorted material. Clean aggregate sells for $12-18 per ton. Sized fines sell for $8-12 per ton. Mixed unsorted debris costs you $42.50 per ton to dispose of. A screener on your jobsite converts a disposal cost into a revenue source.

On a 500-ton C&D job, screening typically recovers 40-60% of the material as reusable product. That is 200-300 tons you do not have to haul at $4.50/mile to a facility 25 miles away. The hauling savings alone often cover the rental cost.

Birmingham contractors who screen material regularly end up buying a screener through our main site for better long-term economics.

What goes on the decks

What vibratory screeners process. What they don't.

Vibratory screeners are built for dry to damp granular material: rock, gravel, soil, C&D debris. Wet, sticky, or fibrous material reduces throughput and blinds screen openings. Match the right screen panel to your material for best results.

Can screen

  • Rock / gravel
  • Sand
  • Soil / topsoil
  • C&D debris
  • Crushed concrete
  • Compost (dry)

These materials flow across vibrating decks cleanly when fed at the right rate. The 3-way split separates each into fines, middles, and overs based on your screen panel sizes.

×

Not ideal for

  • Sticky wet clay
  • Saturated soil
  • Metal scrap
  • Large stumps / root balls
  • Household waste
  • Hazardous materials

Wet, sticky material blinds screen openings and reduces throughput. Metal scrap and large wood can damage screen panels. Pre-process with a grinder or magnet before screening these materials.

Birmingham right now

Why Birmingham screens more material than ever.

Construction and demolition projects in Birmingham generate mixed material that needs sorting before reuse or disposal. A vibratory screener on your Jefferson County jobsite separates that material into three products in one pass: fines, middles, and overs. Sorted material sells for more than unsorted debris, and disposal volume drops significantly when reusable aggregate is pulled out.

We connect Birmingham contractors with the Screen USA CD410 track-mounted vibratory screener delivered to your jobsite. The CD410 runs a 74 HP Cat diesel, handles 32,000 lbs of machine weight, and produces a 3-way split through two screen decks. Punch plate on top for coarse separation, woven mesh below for precision sizing. Three conveyors stockpile each product separately.

Birmingham's construction market in Jefferson County is anchored by UAB Health System, the state's largest employer, whose campus expansion reshapes the downtown core. The Parkside District, City Walk BHAM, and I-20/59 corridor improvements add billions in development investment. Vulcan Materials, headquartered in Birmingham, reflects the city's deep connection to the construction materials industry.

Contractors working across Birmingham's Downtown, Southside, and Avondale areas need reliable equipment access. Having a screener delivered to your jobsite saves the round-trip haul to the nearest disposal facility every day you are on the job.

The nearest material processing facility to most Birmingham jobsites is Jefferson County Recycling Center. An on-site screener eliminates the haul to that facility entirely. Sort material where it sits, stockpile three products on-site, and reduce disposal volume before anything leaves the gate.

Hot summers, mild winters. Tornado Alley proximity creates severe weather risk in spring.

Birmingham's active construction market drives demand for material sorting, aggregate sizing, and C&D debris separation. Current and recent projects include:

  • UAB Health System campus expansion in Southside, with demolition of aging medical buildings and new hospital tower construction.
  • City Walk BHAM mixed-use development connecting Avondale to downtown, requiring demolition and infrastructure construction.
  • Parkside District residential and commercial development near Railroad Park, with infill construction on former industrial parcels.

Birmingham's equipment rental demand centers on healthcare construction (UAB is the state's largest employer), commercial redevelopment, and industrial site preparation. Vulcan Materials' headquarters presence reflects the city's deep roots in aggregate and construction materials. The region's iron-ore clay and limestone geology make crushers and screeners particularly productive for processing local materials.

Mixed C&D material hauled unsorted to Jefferson County Recycling Center costs $42.50 per ton in tipping fees, plus $4.50 per loaded mile round-trip. On a 500-ton job with a 25-mile haul, that is $21,250 in tipping alone before trucking costs.

A vibratory screener on your Birmingham jobsite sorts that same material into three products. Clean aggregate and sized fines have reuse value. Only the true reject material leaves the site. Screening reduces disposal volume by 40-60% on a typical C&D job, which means fewer truck loads and lower tipping bills.

Plan around the season
Year-round
C&D screening season

Alabama's mild climate keeps demolition and construction crews working twelve months a year. Material sorting demand is constant.

Mar - Oct
Peak construction

Highest demand for screening equipment. Book 2-3 weeks ahead during peak to secure your dates.

Sep - Nov
Storm debris recovery

Post-storm cleanup generates heavy screening demand for mixed debris sorting and material recovery.

Screener rental FAQ: Birmingham.

Screener rental pricing in Birmingham depends on rental duration and project scope. The CD410 handles most screening jobs from C&D sorting to aggregate sizing. Contact us at 770-433-2670 for a quote based on your Jefferson County project.

Plan for a flat pad roughly 60x40 feet for the machine, feed pile, and three output stockpiles. You need room for a loader or excavator to feed the 5.5 cubic yard hopper. Larger jobs benefit from more staging area to keep the three output products separated.

Vibratory screeners handle damp material better than very wet material. Saturated clay and mud can blind screen openings and reduce throughput. Coarser screen panels help with wetter material. For consistently wet conditions, discuss your material with our team when requesting a quote.

Book 1-2 weeks ahead for standard projects. During peak construction season (March through October in Alabama), book 2-3 weeks out. Rush requests are handled when equipment is available. Call 770-433-2670 for the earliest delivery date to your Birmingham jobsite.

Yes. Crush first, then screen the output to produce spec aggregate. Or screen first to remove fines before feeding the crusher, which increases throughput and reduces jaw wear. We connect you with both machines on one delivery. Call 770-433-2670 for a combined quote.

Screen panels are interchangeable and available in a range of apertures. Punch plate for coarse separation on the top deck. Woven wire mesh from 1/4-inch to 2-inch on the bottom deck. Panel choice depends on your target product sizes. Tell us your material and spec on the quote form.

The CD410 weighs 32,000 lbs and transports at 35'-10" long by 8'-4" wide by 8'-3" high. It requires a lowboy trailer for delivery. Track-mounted for on-site mobility. Setup takes under an hour once offloaded.
