What size dumpster do I need to remove an old fence?

It depends on the fence type, the length, and what else is coming out with it. Tell us those three things and we'll match the container.

Can concrete fence-post footings go in the dumpster?

Yes. Concrete is allowed, but it's heavy and weight affects your cost, so tell us about the footings when you book.

Should I rent a dumpster or have my fence contractor haul it away?

Ask first. Some fence companies include haul-away in their quote. Rent a dumpster if you're doing the tear-out yourself or the quote doesn't include disposal.

Can I burn old treated fence lumber?

We wouldn't recommend it — check local burn rules first. Treated lumber falls under the same "lumber" category as the rest of the fence, so the simpler route is the dumpster.

Is chain-link fencing worth scrapping instead of dumpstering?

It can be — check with a local scrap yard before you load it. If they'll take it, that's a trip worth making before the rest goes in the roll-off.

What Size Dumpster Do You Need?

Size depends on the fence type, the length, and whether you’re clearing anything else at the same time — a short run of wood privacy fence is a different job than a long stretch of chain-link bundled with yard debris. Give us those three things and we’ll match the container. See our dumpster sizes for what each one holds.

What About the Concrete Footings?

Many fence posts are set in concrete. They can go in, but footings are heavy and mixed loads of concrete and other debris sometimes need separate handling — read our guide on how to dispose of concrete first, and tell us about the footings when you book.

Treated Lumber Goes in the Roll-Off

Pressure-treated fence boards and posts fall under the same “lumber” category as any other construction debris, so they go in the roll-off with the rest of the fence.

Burning them isn’t a disposal method we’d recommend. If you’re considering it, check local burn rules first.

Scrap the Metal

Check with a local scrap yard about chain-link fabric, posts, and rails before you load them — if they’ll take it, that’s weight that isn’t on your dumpster bill.

Hire It Out or Do It Yourself?

Before you rent anything, ask your fence contractor one question: does the quote include haul-away? Some fence companies build disposal into their price, and if yours does, you don’t need a dumpster.

A dumpster makes sense when:

You’re tearing the old fence out yourself.
Your contractor’s quote doesn’t include disposal.
You’re clearing other yard debris at the same time.

What Drives the Cost

We don’t post a single price for fence disposal because the job varies. The main factors are:

Container size. Your quote scales with how big a container the job needs.
Weight. Concrete footings and heavy metal add weight fast.
Rental length. A longer tear-out may need a longer rental.

Your quote spells out the rate and weight billing before the container arrives. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.

The Bottom Line

Pull the fence, scrap the metal, and load the rest into one roll-off. Waste Falcon, Caleb Barnett’s College Station company, delivers throughout Madisonville. Call (877) 779-2783 and tell us how many feet are coming down.
