Dumpster Rental for Fencing Removal in Orlando, FL

Replacing old fencing on your property or farm? A roll-off dumpster makes fence removal fast and efficient. Whether you're tearing out rotted wood fencing, rusted chain link, old vinyl panels, or miles of farm wire fencing, Dumpster Strong delivers the right container to handle your fencing debris across Orlando and Central Florida.

Types of Fencing We Accept

Our dumpsters accept all common fencing materials: wooden fence panels and posts, chain link fencing and posts, vinyl/PVC fencing sections, metal farm fencing and T-posts, bundled barbed wire and razor wire (must be safely bundled), aluminum and wrought iron fencing sections, and concrete fence post bases. Bundle wire fencing securely before loading to prevent tangling and ensure safe handling by our drivers.

Dumpster Sizing for Fence Projects

Fence material is bulky but relatively lightweight. A 20-yard dumpster handles approximately 100-150 linear feet of standard fence removal. A 30-yard handles 200+ linear feet. For large property perimeter replacements or farm fence line clearing, our 40-yard container maximizes efficiency. Since fencing is lightweight, you'll typically fill the volume long before hitting weight limits, making volume the key factor in size selection.

Fence Removal Step-by-Step (Wood, Chain Link, Vinyl)

Wood: pull or cut nails first, then break panels along the rail using a sledge or reciprocating saw. Loaded flat, dismantled panels pack roughly 3x denser than full panels. Chain link: cut top tension wire, loosen tension band, then roll the fabric from one end like a carpet - a 150-foot roll fits in one corner of a 20-yard. Vinyl: remove top rail caps, slide panels free, and stack interlocked - vinyl is hollow and bulky so consider breaking longer panels in half. Always wear cut-resistant gloves and safety glasses, especially when handling old galvanized chain link with frayed selvage.

Concrete Footings: Dig, Don't Dump Whole

A standard 4x4 wood post footing weighs 80-150 pounds. Twenty footings can add 1.5 tons to your load - enough to push a 20-yard over its weight allowance. Two options: leave footings in the ground if you're rebuilding in place (sleeve the new posts), or rent a post-puller (Home Depot rents one for about $50/day) to remove the post and footing as a unit. Break footings with a sledge into 2-3 pieces before loading to distribute weight across the container floor.

HOA Rules and Right-of-Way Setbacks in Orange County

Most Central Florida HOAs require ARB approval for fence replacements - even like-for-like. Orange County code (Section 38-1255) sets right-of-way setbacks at 5-25 feet depending on road classification. Before removal, photograph the existing fence line, locate property pins, and call 811 to mark underground utilities (free, mandatory 2 business days before digging). Removing without permits doesn't void anything, but installing the replacement without ARB sign-off can force a tear-out at your expense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put chain link fence in a dumpster?▾

Yes, chain link fencing, posts, and hardware are accepted. Roll or fold chain link sections for efficient loading.

How do I dispose of barbed wire?▾

Barbed wire must be tightly rolled and securely bundled before placing in the dumpster to prevent injury during handling.

Can I put concrete fence post footings in a dumpster?▾

Yes, but concrete is heavy. Keep weight limits in mind, a few concrete footings can add significant weight to your load.

Do I need a permit to remove a fence in Orange County?▾

Removal alone usually doesn't require a permit, but the replacement does if it exceeds 6 feet, is on a corner lot, or borders a right-of-way. Always check with your HOA first - most require ARB approval before any fence work.

Should I call 811 before pulling fence posts?▾

Yes, always. 811 utility locates are free and required by Florida law at least 2 business days before any digging or post-pulling. Sunshine 811 typically marks lines within 48 hours.

How many feet of 6-foot wood fence fit in a 20-yard?▾

Approximately 120-150 linear feet if you dismantle panels and lay them flat. Loading whole 8-foot panels drops capacity to about 60-80 linear feet because of wasted air space.
