Big Lots, Old Sheds and Piles of Metal

Junk removal in Ashford, AL is country work. East of Dothan along US 84, headed toward the Alabama and Georgia state line, the lots get bigger and the houses get further apart. Room is the reason things pile up out here. In town, a broken mower goes because there is nowhere to put it. On a few acres in Houston County it goes behind the shed, and ten years later there is a row of them.

That is not a criticism, it is how rural property works. Farm ground collects metal, lumber, wire and equipment because all of it might be useful someday and none of it is in the way. Our job is the afternoon when it finally is.

What we haul out here

• Shed and outbuilding contents, from shelving and buckets to broken hand tools
• Scrap metal, old tin, roofing panels, wire and rolls of loose fencing
• Appliances that have been sitting behind a building, including chest freezers
• Household furniture, mattresses, carpet and general trash
• Lumber, pallets and debris from a building that has already come down
• Brush, limbs and yard waste piled at the edge of a field or a yard

Getting to it

Long drives, gravel, field edges and gates are normal, and none of it stops the job. What we need to know in advance is whether the ground stays firm after rain, whether a gate is wide enough, and how far the pile sits from a place a loaded truck can turn around. Where the approach is soft we work from firm ground and carry, because nobody wants a rutted field as part of the deal.

Metal, Lumber and Torn-Down Buildings

A fair share of junk removal in Ashford, AL involves metal of one kind or another. Tin off an old roof, hog wire grown into the fence row, a bed frame, a water heater, the remains of a swing set. Metal is heavy and goes to a different place than household junk, so say it is in the load when you ask for a quote.

Lumber piles work the same way. If a shed or a barn has already fallen in or been pulled down, we can haul what is on the ground. What we do not do is take the building down for you, and anything involving a structure that is still standing needs somebody with the right equipment before we come get the pieces.

Yard debris and storm limbs

Yards out here are big, which means the debris is too. Limbs after a storm, a burn pile somebody thinks better of, hedge and tree trimmings that have been stacking up through the season. We can take brush along with the rest of a load, and it is covered in more detail on the yard debris removal page. Say roughly how big the pile is and whether it is drivable, since brush takes up more volume than weight.

Why hauling beats a container out here

A roll-off container has to be dropped on ground that will take it, and it sits in your way until it is picked back up. It also assumes you are the one filling it, which for wet lumber and old tin is a rough weekend. A crew loading a truck skips both problems, which we go over on the dumpster rental alternative page. For a house rather than a yard, see cleanouts, and old appliances are on the appliance removal page.

Scheduling From Dothan

Ashford is an easy run east of Dothan, so pickups here are straightforward to schedule and same-week is realistic. If the property has several separate piles, one visit with a bigger load beats three trips, so mention everything you want gone the first time you write.

Being on site helps at the start, since pointing at the four things that go is faster than describing them. After that you can leave us to it.
