Old Fence Removal in DFW: Wood, Chain Link & Metal Fencing Hauled

When a fence company replaces or removes fencing, they often leave the old materials behind for the homeowner to deal with. Rotted wood panels, old chain link, metal posts, and miscellaneous hardware pile up fast and are too large and heavy for curbside pickup in most DFW cities. Here is how to get old fencing hauled away in Grapevine and across the metro.

What we haul

• Wood fence panels and boards. Privacy fence sections, picket fence panels, and individual boards. These are usually in rough shape and cannot be donated. They go to appropriate waste disposal or wood waste processing.
• Chain link fencing. Rolled or folded chain link, posts, and rails. Metal components go to scrap metal recyclers. Chain link in good condition occasionally has resale value if you want to list it on Marketplace first.
• Metal privacy fencing. Wrought iron, aluminum panel systems, and similar metal fencing. Heavy and priced accordingly.
• Posts and hardware. Old fence posts whether wood, metal, or concrete-encased, and miscellaneous gate hardware and brackets.
• Lattice and decorative elements. Anything that was part of the fence structure and needs to go.

What we do not do

We haul fencing that has already been removed or come down. We do not remove fence posts that are still set in concrete, demo standing fence structures, or pull posts out of the ground. That is fence demo work, which requires different equipment. If your fence is already down and staged for haul, we take it from there.

If you have a fence that still needs to come down and you are looking for someone to do the demo and haul together, call us and describe the project. We handle some combined demo-and-haul fence jobs depending on the scope.

What it costs to haul old fencing in DFW

Fencing is priced by volume and weight. Wood fence panels are lighter per cubic foot than metal. A standard load of old wood fence panels from a typical suburban yard runs $150 to $275. Metal fencing and chain link runs somewhat higher because of the weight. Call and tell us roughly how many panels or linear feet of fence you have. We will give you a number on the phone.

Metal fencing and scrap value

Chain link and metal fence in good condition sometimes has scrap metal value. We check this when we can. In practice, the scrap value on residential fence hauls in DFW is usually modest and does not significantly affect the removal price, but we do divert metal to scrap rather than landfill when it qualifies.
