Fence Removal in Massachusetts: where we work and what we see
We serve 325 cities and towns in Massachusetts, from Boston, Worcester and Springfield to the small towns in between, across Greater Boston, the South Shore, the North Shore, Cape Cod, Central Massachusetts, the Pioneer Valley, the Berkshires and the South Coast.
Massachusetts bans mattresses, textiles, and many electronics from disposal, so those go through certified recyclers. Every load goes to the right facility for the county it came from.
Nor'easters batter the coast, and Cape and South Shore properties turn over every summer.

How it works
How fence removal works in Massachusetts
From "can you take this?" to "it's gone" is usually one visit. This is the order it happens in.

Boards, panels, and mesh removed and stacked for the trailer.

Why now
Why Massachusetts stops putting it off
Nobody schedules fence removal for fun. These are the reasons Massachusetts homeowners finally pick up the phone.
- Fence installers charge a premium to remove the old fence and often want it gone before they arrive.
- A leaning fence is a liability with a neighbor on the other side.
- Rotten posts snap in the next wind storm.
- Nor'easters batter the coast, and Cape and South Shore properties turn over every summer.

Straight talk
What fence removal does not include
A few things we will tell you up front, because you would rather hear them now than on the day.
- We do not install fences. Book your installer, then book us for the day before.
- Property-line disputes are between you and the neighbor; we remove only what you own and mark.

Sound familiar?
Common fence removal situations in Massachusetts
If one of these sounds like your Massachusetts situation, you are in the right place. If it does not, we still want to hear about it.
- 01
Installer arrives Monday
The new fence company quoted extra to remove the old one and wants it gone before they show up.
- 02
Leaning into the neighbor's yard
Rotted posts, a lean that gets worse every storm, and a neighbor who has mentioned it twice.
- 03
Opening up the yard
The chain link went up for a dog that is no longer around, and the yard would be better without it.
- 04
Sale prep
A broken fence in the listing photos costs more than removing it.
Afterward
Where fence removal material from Massachusetts ends up
People ask, and they should. Here is the path everything takes after it leaves Massachusetts.
- 01
Keep, donate, sell, dispose
Every cleanout is sorted into those four piles with you or your representative before loading starts.
- 02
Donation runs
Usable furniture, kitchenware, books, and clothing go to donation partners, and we can bring back receipts for the estate.
- 03
Documents and valuables
Anything you flag is set aside and handed to you. Sensitive paperwork can be routed to a shredding service.
- 04
Licensed disposal
The remainder goes to a licensed transfer station or landfill. Nothing is dumped.
Before we arrive
How to prepare for fence removal in Massachusetts
You do not need to do much before a fence removal crew arrives in Massachusetts, but three small things make the day go faster.
- Mark the sections that stay with tape or flags.
- Confirm the fence is yours and on your side of the line.
- Call 811 or your utility locator if posts are near buried lines; we will not dig until it is clear.
Equipment
What fence removal in Massachusetts takes
Most of what makes fence removal go smoothly is decided before the truck leaves. This is the gear behind a Massachusetts job.
- 01
Multiple loads, one day
Trailers and trucks staged so a whole-house cleanout keeps moving instead of waiting on a dumpster swap.
- 02
Sorting and staging
Tables, bins, and labels so keep, donate, sell, and dispose stay separate all day.
- 03
Protection
Floor runners, door-frame guards, and corner protection for homes that are about to be listed.
Choosing a company
What to ask any fence removal company
Whoever you hire for fence removal, these questions will tell you in two minutes whether they are the right ones.
- 01
Will they sort, or just haul?
For estates and hoarding situations, sorting is the job. Ask how they handle documents, photos, and valuables.
- 02
Can they work with an executor remotely?
Video walkthroughs, photo documentation, and a single point of contact matter when you are not local.
- 03
Are they insured?
General liability, auto, and a certificate on request. Non-negotiable in someone else's home.
- 04
Do they know when to call a specialist?
Biohazard, mold, and structural issues need licensed remediation. A good cleanout company knows where their job ends.

Questions
Fence Removal in Massachusetts: your questions
Do you pull the concrete footings?
Yes. Posts come out with the footing so the new fence can go in the same line.
Can you leave some sections?
Yes. Mark what stays and we remove the rest.
Do you offer same-day fence removal in Massachusetts?
Often, yes. Call early in the day for the best chance at a same-day window, and ask for the first open window if today is full. Next-day is almost always available.
Are you licensed and insured for fence removal in Massachusetts?
Yes. Lucky Hauling carries general liability and auto coverage for every job in Massachusetts. Ask the office for a certificate of insurance and we will email it before the crew arrives.
Which areas near Massachusetts do you cover?
All of the Massachusetts area, including Boston, Worcester, Springfield and Cambridge. If you are outside that, we still probably cover you; check the Massachusetts page for the full city list.
How do I set up fence removal in Massachusetts?
Photos are fastest. Tell us what it is, where it sits, and how soon you need it gone, and we schedule the on-site estimate.
Do I need to be home for fence removal in Massachusetts?
Not necessarily. Many Massachusetts customers meet us at the start and leave, or approve by text from photos the crew sends. Someone does need to say yes before anything is loaded.
What should I do before the crew gets to Massachusetts?
Very little. Decide what stays, point it out or tape it, and clear a path if it is easy. Set aside anything with personal data you want to keep. The crew does the rest.
Can you get it out of a tight spot in Massachusetts?
Yes. Narrow stairs, basements, and backyards with no gate are normal. We carry it out by hand and protect the floors on the way.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
Rain does not stop most jobs. Lightning, ice, and high wind do, especially for boat lifts and tow work. If we have to move your window we tell you as early as we can and reschedule at no charge.
Where does the junk from Massachusetts actually go?
Donatable items go to donation partners, metal and cardboard are recycled, and the rest goes to a licensed transfer station or landfill. Massachusetts bans mattresses, textiles, and many electronics from disposal, so those go through certified recyclers.
