How Can I Break Up Concrete Fiberglass Rock?
yes you heard it a fiberglass concrete rock hollow inside. about 5 feet long and 2 feet deep by 2 feet tall. tried to smash it/ got a hole in the top thats about it. tried to smash its sides bounced. tried a saws all with a cement blade ,it burnt the blade. and it…

any other garbage guys they will have to break it before taking it out thru the house
I like Dun Rite Rubbish for demo and debris removal. Fully licensed fleet of dumptrucks – and fast. Charge is by the cubic yard and weight. Sounds like it would meet the minimum charge of $250.
Call Jose at 917-577-1103.
(I’ve posted about them before. I saw his crew working in Brooklyn maybe a couple of years back. That’s how I found him.)
guys thanks so the option to get someone to get rid of it sounds good but who and how much?
listen, if you pour mildly diluted muriatic on this, it will degrade the concrete in seconds. That’s what I am thinking, the muriatic will break down the concrete and you can cut the fibreglass, maybe with a knife.
I know someone is saying stay away from the muriatic, and you will have to take some safety measures, ie glasses, and rinse it down before you cut, but muriatic acid is what is added to swimming pools to lower the Ph. we swim in diluted muriatic acid (along with uric acid; it lowers the ph as well). The stuff is as dangerous as bleach only on the opposite end of the ph scale.
I bet the cutoff saw would do it as well, but to rent it is $40 for 4 hours and you have to buy the $120 blade; the acid is $10.00 per quart.

meme2, PLEASE ASTAY AWAY FROM MURIATIC ACID.
Cut off saws are no toys. The blade is 14″, you need experience to use them.
I will suggest you call someone to help you get rid of it.
Jackhammers and cut-off saws as others mentioned above.
But I’m curious – is it fiberglass AND concrete, as in chunks of fiberglass embedded in concrete. Or is it fiberglass-reinforced concrete (GFRC, which is how most “cast stone” is made today, using fiberglass in place of metal reinforcing).
Forget the sawzall and rent the cut-off saw. The other option might be a rotary hammer, but if you don’t have one and you’re going to have to rent a tool anyway, you might as well go big and get the saw. I would strongly advise against using chemicals to “soften” the concrete.
Home Depot on Hamilton Ave. will rent you a cut-off saw that will slit it with no problem. We use them to cut sidewalks, so what you have would be easy.
YES it is made out of fiberglass with concrete.TOOO scary bad landscaping choice. Plus it weighs as much as a bolder. So Steve if I pour a “line ” over the Rock then use the saws all Id have a chance right? IIs there a blade for fiberglass? I remember seeing a small fiberglass boat cut up with a saws all. Thanks again Steve!
