Swing Set Removal
Old swing sets can become weathered, rusted, unstable, or simply unused as children grow older. Removing one yourself often means dealing with stubborn bolts, heavy support beams, and oversized sections that won't fit in a regular trash container.
Our swing set removal service includes dismantling above-ground wooden and metal structures, carrying the pieces to our truck, and hauling them away for appropriate disposal.
From smaller residential swing sets to larger backyard structures, we'll discuss the size, construction, and accessibility of your equipment before providing a free estimate.

Backyard Playset Removal
Large backyard playsets can include elevated platforms, climbing walls, slides, ladders, multiple swings, and interconnected wooden frames. They're wonderful for active children but can become a major obstacle when it's time to reclaim the yard.
Crass Hauling dismantles and removes these multi-feature playground structures, even when they must be carried through a backyard rather than loaded directly onto a truck.
Whether you're preparing for landscaping, installing a new outdoor feature, or getting your home ready for sale, we'll help clear the space for your next project.
Crass Hauling provides free, no-obligation estimates
so you'll know what to expect before the job begins.
Playset Removal
Not every outdoor playset is a traditional swing set. Some are compact climbing structures, plastic activity centers, or combinations of slides, platforms, and play equipment.
Our playset removal service covers wooden, metal, and plastic backyard equipment that you no longer need.
Instead of struggling to take everything apart and figure out where to dispose of it, let our crew handle the dismantling, loading, and hauling.
Trampoline Removal
Is an old trampoline taking up half your backyard?
Trampolines can be awkward to dismantle because of their large frames, tensioned springs, safety nets, and flexible jumping surfaces. Even after disassembly, the pieces can be difficult to transport in a personal vehicle.
Crass Hauling removes unwanted backyard trampolines, including their frames, mats, nets, and associated components. We'll dismantle the equipment, load the materials, and haul them away so you can put that outdoor space to better use
Playhouse Removal
Children's outdoor playhouses come in all shapes and sizes, from small molded-plastic cottages to larger wooden structures with roofs, doors, and windows.
When they're no longer being used, these backyard playhouses can take up valuable lawn or garden space.
Our crew removes wooden and plastic playhouses, handling the necessary above-ground dismantling, hauling, and cleanup.
Whether the playhouse is worn out or simply no longer needed, Crass Hauling can help make room for whatever comes next.

Help Us Give You an Accurate Quote
When completing the Free Request a Quote form at the top of this page, provide as much information about the equipment and property as possible.
Please tell us the approximate size of your swing set, where it's located, how far it is from the driveway or street, and whether fences, gates, slopes, decks, or other obstacles are between the play set and our truck or trailer.
The more information we have about your project, the more accurately he can estimate the work involved.
What About Photos?
The online quote form does not currently accept photo uploads. Once you submit your request, Jeff will contact you and explain how you can send photos of the backyard play set, surrounding area, and property access.
Photos can be especially helpful for evaluating potential access challenges.

How Much Does It Cost to Remove a Swing Set?
The cost of swing set removal depends on the size and construction of the equipment, the amount of dismantling required, and how easily the removal crew can access it. Because every backyard and play structure is different, Crass Hauling provides free estimates based on the details of your particular job rather than advertising a one-size-fits-all price.
Several factors can influence the cost:
- Size and construction: A small metal swing set generally requires less dismantling and hauling than a large wooden playset with multiple platforms and accessories.
- Backyard accessibility: Can our truck get close to the swing set, or will our crew need to carry the dismantled pieces through a gate, around the house, or down a long driveway?
- Dismantling requirements: Larger or more complicated structures may require additional labor to take apart.
- Material volume: The amount and type of material being hauled away can affect loading, transportation, and disposal requirements.
- Site conditions: The location of the structure and any obstacles between the playset and our truck can influence the work involved.
Free Estimates With No Guesswork
When you contact Crass Hauling, Jeff will discuss the equipment you want removed, how it's constructed, and where it's located on your property.
He may ask you to send photos after your initial conversation to help assess the removal requirements.
Your personalized quote includes dismantling, loading, hauling, disposal, and cleanup of the removed equipment. Buried ground anchors and concrete footings are not included.
That way, you'll know what the job involves before scheduling your removal.
How Do You Remove a Swing Set?
Removing an old swing set involves more than unbolting a few pieces of wood or metal. A large structure can contain heavy beams, awkward frames, and numerous fasteners that make dismantling difficult.
Here's how Crass Hauling approaches the process:
- Discuss the project. Jeff learns about the swing set's size, construction, condition, location, and accessibility before providing a free estimate.
- Plan the dismantling. Our crew evaluates how to break down the above-ground structure into manageable sections.
- Take apart the equipment. We carefully dismantle the swing set or playset, separating the large components and handling the loose hardware.
- Load and haul everything away. Depending on backyard access, our crew may carry the dismantled sections to a truck parked along the road or driveway.
- Clean up the removal area. We collect the loose hardware and debris associated with the dismantling and haul the removed materials away.
Once the old equipment is gone, you'll have more space for a garden, outdoor seating, landscaping, or simply an open lawn.
Please note: Crass Hauling removes the above-ground play equipment but does not excavate or remove buried ground anchors or concrete footings
How to Dispose of an Old Swing Set
Wondering what to do with an unwanted swing set once it's dismantled?
The best disposal method depends on its condition, construction, and whether any of its materials can be reused.
Reuse or Donate Equipment That's Still in Good Condition
If the swing set or playset is still safe and usable, donation or reuse may be an option. This can give suitable equipment or components another purpose instead of sending everything to a disposal facility.
Crass Hauling looks for opportunities to donate or repurpose items when practical, although not every used play structure will be suitable for reuse.
Recycle Suitable Materials
Many swing sets contain metal frames, brackets, chains, and other components that may be recyclable.
Crass Hauling separates materials for appropriate recycling and disposal whenever possible. Wood, plastic, and mixed materials are handled according to their condition and the available recycling or disposal options.
Hire a Professional Swing Set Removal Service
If your playset is too large, damaged, or deteriorated to reuse, professional removal is often the most convenient solution.
Crass Hauling handles the dismantling, heavy lifting, transportation, and disposal so you don't need to rent a truck, make repeated trips, or figure out which facilities accept the materials.
Responsible removal helps keep unwanted play equipment from sitting in your backyard for another season.
