Farm & property cleanups · MetroWest, MA
Farm, barn, and scrap pile cleanups
Farms and big properties collect decades of stuff: broken equipment, scrap metal, rusted drums, and trash piles out behind the barn. We clear it with a dumpster and a pickup, send the metal to a scrap yard, and haul the rest away.
What we clear
Big properties, big piles
These jobs are usually a mix of metal, wood, and plain trash that’s been sitting out for years.
Barn & outbuilding contents
Broken tools, old feeders, rotted hay, and storage that’s been piling up for decades.
Old fencing & wire
Rolls of wire fencing, posts, gates, and tangled barbed wire.
Trash piles
The spots behind the barn or at the edge of the woods where things were left for years.
Empty drums & containers
Empty barrels, buckets, and tanks. Anything with liquid inside needs to be checked first.
Lumber & debris
Old boards, pallets, and pieces of collapsed sheds or lean-tos.
Safety first
What we leave for the specialists
Older farms and properties can hide things that aren’t safe to throw in a dumpster. We won’t load these, and we’ll point them out if we see them:
- Barrels, jugs, or tanks with unknown liquids inside
- Pesticides, herbicides, and other farm chemicals
- Fuel, motor oil, and old fuel tanks
- Suspected asbestos siding, roofing, or pipe insulation
- Propane and other compressed gas tanks
Your town’s household hazardous waste program is the place to start for most of these. See what Massachusetts bans from the trash.
How it works
A property cleanup, start to finish
Walk the property
We look at the piles, the buildings, and where a truck can safely drive.
Plan the drop
We pick a firm, reachable spot for the dumpster, often by the barn or driveway.
Clear and sort
Metal is separated for the scrap yard as we load everything else.
Haul and tidy
Full dumpsters get hauled away, and we clean up the areas we cleared.
Big properties may take more than one dumpster or more than one visit. Your free estimate will spell that out.
Honest advice
When a property cleanup crew makes sense
We’re a good fit when…
- There’s a large, mixed pile of metal, wood, and trash
- A farm or family property is being cleaned up to sell
- You don’t have the equipment or people to load it all
You may not need us when…
- It’s almost all metal: a scrap hauler may take it for free or pay you
- It’s vehicles or large machinery: try a salvage yard or selling it
- It’s only brush: a tree service with a chipper may be a better fit
Questions
Questions people ask
Something else? Text us. You’ll get an answer from the person doing the job.
Can you haul away an old tractor, car, or trailer?
Usually not. Vehicles and large machinery normally go to a salvage yard or get sold, and some salvage yards will tow them. We clear everything else around them.
Does separating scrap metal help?
Yes. Metal goes to a scrap yard instead of taking up dumpster space and disposal fees, so a load with lots of metal is sorted as we go.
Can the dumpster go out in a field?
It depends on the ground and access. The delivery truck needs a firm, clear path, so soft fields and steep driveways may not work. We’ll look at it during the walkthrough.
What about old barrels and containers?
Empty containers are fine. Barrels or jugs with unknown liquids, pesticides, or fuel can’t go in our loads and need a hazardous waste option.
What if an old building has asbestos siding or roofing?
We don’t touch it. In Massachusetts, asbestos has to be handled by licensed abatement contractors. We can clear other debris once that’s dealt with.
