This was a construction debris removal job in Downtown Henderson. A homeowner's fence was in rough shape, so she hired someone to rebuild it. The new fence went up, but the old one never left. The crew left every board, brick, and broken picket piled in her yard.
When the contractor leaves the old fence behind
It happens more than you'd think. A rebuild quote covers putting the new fence up, and hauling the old one away is either left out or assumed to be someone else's problem. The homeowner ends up with a new fence and a pile of the old one.
She called us and scheduled the job for the following week, on a day she was off, so she could be home while we worked.
What we hauled
The old fence was spread across two spots: a corner of the back yard and the side yard along the house. It was the kind of debris that's hard to handle yourself:
- 1Old boards with nails sticking outWeathered fence boards still had nails in them, which makes them a puncture risk to carry and a problem to bag.
- 2Bricks filled with concreteThe bricks from the old fence footing were packed with concrete. They're far heavier than they look, and the transfer station charges by weight.
- 3Broken pickets everywhereSmall pieces of wood fencing were scattered through the dirt, the slow part of any fence cleanup.


One more thing while we were there
She also had an old pool in the back yard she wanted gone. Since we were already on site with the trailer, we took it on the same visit and saved her a second trip.
