Old fence leaning, rotting or blown down?

Old fences don't come down neatly. Wood panels crack and splinter, chain-link fights you the whole way, and every post is either rotted off at the ground or stuck tight. And when it's all down, you've got a long pile of lumber and wire that won't fit in any car.

Zach's Pack Hauling tears down old wood, chain-link and vinyl fencing and hauls it away. Clearing the way for a new fence, or got a storm-damaged section to clean up? We handle the teardown, the loading and the cleanup.

Before your fence comes down

If the fence is shared, talk to your neighbor first, and check HOA rules if you have them.
Know where your property line is, especially if a new fence is going in.
Pulling posts means digging. Call 811 a few days ahead so underground utility lines get marked.
Cut back vines and shrubs growing through the fence.
Mark sprinkler heads and low-voltage lighting near the fence line.

Fence Removal pricing by load size

We price by how much of the trailer your items fill. These tiers are starting points; weight, stairs, access and special disposal can change the price, and you always get a firm number before we load.

*Prices shown are general starting points for standard household junk. Final pricing may vary based on material weight, labor, stairs, access, and specific disposal costs. You will always receive a firm price before work begins.

Other ways to handle an old fence

We'd rather you hire us because it makes sense, not because nobody told you about the free options. Rules below are from official city and county pages. Check the linked page before you set anything out, since programs change.

Ask your fence installer

Getting a new fence? Many installers include tearing out and hauling the old one in the quote. Compare that price before you book anything separately.

Scrap the chain-link

Chain-link is scrap metal. Greene County Environmental Services accepts fencing and scrap metal from Greene County residents.

City curbside won't cover lumber

Dayton's bulk program lists wood and other building materials among the items it won't collect.

When hiring us makes sense

Call us when you just want the old fence gone and the yard cleaned up, or when the replacement crew's tear-out price is higher than you expected.

Fence teardown hazards

Old boards are full of rusty nails and screws, and chain-link has sharp cut ends. Wear thick gloves and boots.
Rotted posts can snap and drop a whole section at once.
Never dig to pull posts without calling 811 first.

Where old fencing goes

Metal fencing can usually be recycled as scrap. Old wood, vinyl and concrete footings usually can't and go to a licensed disposal facility.

Fence removal FAQ

How much does fence removal cost?

It depends on the length, the material and the posts. Our minimum pickup starts at $115, and bigger jobs are priced by labor and trailer space. Text photos to 326-900-8944 for a firm price.

Do you remove fence posts set in concrete?

Yes. We pull posts set in concrete, footings included, and haul them away. Call 811 a few days before the job so buried utility lines get marked.

Can you take down just one section?

Yes. A single storm-damaged section, a run along one side, or the whole yard.

Do I need to call 811 before removing a fence?

If posts are coming out of the ground, yes. Call 811 a few days before any digging so buried utility lines get marked.

Will the city take my old fence boards?

Usually not curbside. Dayton's bulk pickup lists wood and building materials among the items it won't collect.
