What to Do With an Old Fence
Replacing or removing a fence generates more debris than most homeowners expect. Wood panels, metal posts, concrete footings, wire, and hardware all have to go somewhere. ABC Junk Removal & Hauling helps homeowners and property owners handle fence removal debris quickly, responsibly, and without a trip to the dump on your part.
Why Old Fence Disposal Is Trickier Than It Looks
Fence materials are not always easy to dispose of through standard curbside pickup. Long wooden panels and metal posts do not fit in trash bins. Many municipalities will not accept them for bulk pickup without advance scheduling. Concrete footing sections can weigh hundreds of pounds. Getting it all out requires more than a strong back. It requires a plan and the right equipment.
Wood Fences Come With Extra Considerations
Older wood fences often contain treated lumber that was manufactured with preservatives no longer approved for residential use. This material needs to be handled and disposed of properly. Simply burning old treated fence wood or throwing it in a standard dumpster creates compliance problems. A professional junk removal team identifies what you have and ensures it is disposed of through the right channels.
Metal and Chain-Link Fencing Have Recycling Value
Steel posts, aluminum panels, and chain-link fencing are all recyclable materials. Rather than sending metal fence materials to a landfill, responsible disposal routes them to scrap recycling facilities where the metal is recovered and reused. This is better for the environment and a straightforward practice for any junk removal company worth hiring.
Concrete Footings Are the Heaviest Part
Post footings are often overlooked until the fence comes down, and there they are. Concrete sections are heavy, awkward, and difficult to move without equipment. They are also frequently left behind when homeowners attempt DIY fence removal and run out of energy. A junk removal team handles them along with everything else, leaving the property completely clear.
