Unfortunately, you can’t just drag an entire old mobile home to the curb on trash day. Once you decide it needs to go, the most important thing is removing it quickly with a professional junk removal service. Here’s what mobile home removal actually involves in Athens, Bogart, Watkinsville, and the rest of the area we cover.
What Gets Removed
A mobile home removal job usually covers more than the structure itself. Single-wide, double-wide, and modular homes all come apart differently, and most lots have extras that need to go with them: skirting, tie-down straps and anchors, a wood or composite deck or porch bolted to the front, and sometimes a set of concrete steps. If you leave appliances, cabinets, or furniture inside, we take those out too.
How Removal Day Works
Book online or call (706) 613-4135, and the crew will call about 15 minutes before they arrive. From there:
- A quick walkthrough confirms the scope and the price, both agreed on before any work starts.
- The crew dismantles the home piece by piece, pulling the frame apart and separating metal, wood, and fixtures as they go.
- They haul everything out and load it, and then sweep the site clean once the structure is gone.
- They sort materials for recycling or donation instead of sending them straight to a landfill.
Most jobs finish within a single scheduled window, and same-day or next-day appointments are often available depending on the crew’s schedule that week.
Why So Many of These Homes Need to Come Down
A lot of the mobile homes we remove predate the federal construction code HUD put in place in June 1976. Homes built before that date weren’t built to today’s wind, fire, and electrical safety standards, which is a big part of why repairs on them start costing more than they’re worth. If you’re still weighing whether to tear a home down versus repair it, our post on whether you should demolish your mobile home walks through the signs worth paying attention to. If permits are holding you up, 3 things to know before tearing down a mobile home covers what Athens-Clarke County and surrounding counties typically require before a crew can start.
When There’s More Than Just the Home to Clear
Mobile home lots rarely come with just the home. A lot of properties we work on also have an old shed out back that’s been sitting since before the home went up, or a fridge and stove nobody wanted to deal with separately. We handle shed and appliance removal in the same visit, so you don’t have to schedule three different crews to clear one property.
