    How to Dispose of Old Fencing in Orlando, FL

    Replacing your fence in Orlando? The old fence material has to go somewhere. Wood fences rot in Florida's humidity, vinyl cracks from UV exposure, and chain link rusts over time. Here's how to handle old fence disposal for every fence type in Orlando.

    Wood Fence Disposal

    Untreated wood fencing can go in a dumpster or regular bulk pickup. Pressure-treated wood (most fence posts) contains chemicals but is accepted at most landfills and in dumpsters. Break down fence panels into manageable sections. Remove and separate nails and screws when possible. A 20-yard dumpster handles approximately 100-150 linear feet of wood fencing.

    Chain Link Fence Disposal

    Chain link fencing has scrap metal value. The fence fabric (mesh), posts, rails, and hardware are all recyclable steel. Local Orlando scrap yards pay $0.05-$0.10 per pound for clean chain link. For larger quantities, the scrap value may be worth the trip. Otherwise, roll the mesh tightly and load into a dumpster.

    Vinyl Fence Disposal

    Vinyl (PVC) fencing goes in a dumpster or to the landfill. It's lightweight and bulky. Cut panels to maximize dumpster space. Vinyl is recyclable, but few facilities in the Orlando area accept it. Stack panels flat in the dumpster for efficient loading.

    Dumpster Rental for Fence Replacement

    A fence replacement project generates the old fence debris plus any concrete post footings you dig up. A 20-yard dumpster handles most residential fence replacements. If you're digging up concrete footings, consider the added weight, concrete is heavy. If you have large amounts to dispose of, renting a dumpster is the easiest and most cost-effective option.
