Breakaway Junk Removal & Demo

Playset and swing set removal

The kids outgrew it, the wood is going soft, or you just want the yard back. We take the playset apart where it stands and haul every piece away.

Broken down in the yard

Most wooden playsets are far too big to move in one piece. We take them apart in the yard, from the swings, slide and climbing wall to the fort and the frame, and load the pieces as we go so there's no pile left on the lawn.

Metal swing sets come apart the same way. If posts or legs are set in concrete, you decide how they come out. We can dig out the concrete footings, which costs extra, or cut the posts as low to the ground as possible. We price both at the free on-site estimate.

Wood, metal and plastic

A playset that's still sturdy and safe can go to donation. Metal frames, chains and hardware go to recycling where possible. Rotted lumber and worn-out plastic go to disposal.

When the set is gone, we pick up the loose bolts, broken boards and debris from where it stood.

Anywhere in our service area

We take down playsets on the Main Line, across Montgomery County, in nearby Delaware and Chester County, and in Northwest Philadelphia. Same-day and next-day appointments are available, with a 2-hour arrival window and a call about 30 minutes before we get there.

Before we arrive

  1. 1Move toys and outdoor furniture away from the playset if you can.
  2. 2Tell us how we reach the backyard: a gate, a side yard or through the house.
  3. 3Let us know if any posts are set in concrete.

Questions

Do I need to take the playset apart first?

No. Taking it apart is part of the job, so there's no need to spend a weekend with a wrench.

Can you remove a playset with posts in concrete?

Yes. Digging out concrete footings costs extra, so you choose: we dig them out, or we cut the posts as low to the ground as possible. We price both at the free on-site estimate, before we start.

Can you take other things from the yard at the same time?

Yes. Trampolines, basketball hoops, hot tubs, patio furniture and yard debris can all go in the same visit. You pay for the total space it takes in our truck.

How is playset removal priced?

By how much room the pieces take up in our truck, with labor, disposal and taxes included. We give you a firm price on site, for free, before any work begins.

“George and Antonio were wonderful. They quickly took care of a box spring that needed to be broken to fit down our stairs. Were attentive during the day to update me on when they would arrive and cleaned up after themselves. Highly recommend!”

“Highly recommend using this small business for your junk remove needs. From start to finish communication was great. They were able to come and remove the items I needed removed in a speedy manner. 3 very heavy items in my garage as well as all of these paint cans in the basement. Very reasonably priced as well! Give them a shot!”
