Fence Removal & Haul-Away
Junk Removal Service USA takes down and hauls away old fences across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County: wood, chain-link, PVC, and aluminum, posts and concrete footings included. Fence removal typically runs $3 to $8 per linear foot in South Florida, and a standard backyard fence is usually gone in a single morning.

What We Remove

What We Don't Do — and Who Does
Florida law (Fla. Stat. § 489.105) reserves demolition of any building or residence for licensed contractors. We stay on the non-building side of that line and refer the rest. How the line works →
- ⚠Masonry walls and CBS privacy walls — those are structures; ask a licensed contractor
- ⚠Fences on a disputed property line — settle the line first
- ⚠Removing a fence that serves as a pool safety barrier without a replacement in place (Florida's pool barrier law applies)
How Fence Removal Works
- 1
Measure and send photos
Linear feet, material, and whether posts are set in concrete. We quote per foot with disposal included.
- 2
Panels and pickets first
Sections are unscrewed or cut free and stacked; chain-link is unclipped and rolled.
- 3
Posts and footings
Posts are pulled with the concrete plug where possible, or cut at grade if you prefer. Holes are backfilled.
- 4
Haul and recycle
Metal goes to scrap recycling; wood and PVC to disposal. The line is raked clean.
What Fence Removal Costs in South Florida
$3–$8 per linear ft
A typical 150-foot backyard fence runs roughly $450 to $1,200 to remove.
What moves the price
- •Linear footage and height
- •Posts in concrete vs. driven — concrete plugs add time and weight
- •Chain-link and aluminum are fast and recyclable; wood privacy fence is heavier
- •Vegetation grown into the fence line
- •Access to the run — a fence along a back lot line can mean a long carry

Taking a fence down does not need a permit anywhere in South Florida — putting one up does. In Miami-Dade, non-wind-resistant fences (chain-link, picket) are exempt from a building permit but need a zoning permit to install. If the fence is your pool's safety barrier, have the replacement ready before the old one comes out.
Miami-Dade County
Non-wind-resistant fences are exempt from a building permit but require a zoning permit to install. Removal is not a permitted act.

Fence permits are issued by your municipality. Removal is not permitted work and does not trigger the county's SRRA.
Official source ↗Palm Beach County
Fence rules are set by the county's PZB (unincorporated) or your municipality; removal is treated as a removal, not a demolition.
