Big wooden playsets are held together with a few hundred bolts and the stubbornness of the person who assembled them in 2012. Our crews come with impact drivers and saws, take the structure down in sections, and load it on the truck along with the slide, swings and the rubber mulch if you want it gone. Metal swing sets and trampolines are quicker: unbolt, fold, load. We've removed 24 playsets, swing sets and trampolines in the last 24 months. Metal is recycled; treated lumber and plastic slides are disposed of at a licensed facility.

What We Take

  • Wooden playsets, forts and towers
  • Metal swing sets and A-frames
  • Slides, rock walls, monkey bars and canopies
  • Trampolines (frame, mat, springs and safety net)
  • Basketball hoops (portable and in-ground, where the post can be cut)
  • Sandboxes and playhouses
  • Rubber mulch and landscape edging (by the truckload)
  • Outdoor toys, ride-ons and bikes

How Playset, Swing Set & Trampoline Removal Works

  1. 1

    Book a free onsite estimate

    Book online, or call or text (312) 800-1940. Pick an arrival window — same-day and next-day are often available, Monday through Saturday.

  2. 2

    The crew gives you a firm price on the spot

    They look at everything and quote one number that covers labor, loading, hauling and disposal. No obligation: if it doesn't work for you, they leave and there's no charge.

  3. 3

    Say yes and it's gone — same visit

    The crew carries everything out from wherever it sits, loads it, and sweeps up. Most jobs are finished in that same visit.

  4. 4

    You don't even have to be there

    If the crew can reach the items — alley, garage, a doorman or a code — they'll do the job while you're at work, send before-and-after photos, and take payment by phone or with a card on file.

Real Jobs, Real Results

La Grange Park

Wooden Playset Removal — La Grange Park, IL

A two-tower wooden playset with a tube slide, swings and a rock-climbing ladder had outlived the kids in this La Grange Park backyard. The crew unbolted the towers, cut the main beams into carryable lengths, pulled the ground anchors and loaded everything, slide included. The only trace left was the rectangle of bare ground where the towers stood. A wooden playset is a couple of hours and one truck. Rake, seed, and the lawn recovers in a season.

Glenview

Large Playset with Swing Beam and Slide Removed — Glenview, IL

A large cedar playset in Glenview — tower with canopy, rock wall, long swing beam with three swings, and a wave slide — coming out of a Glenview backyard. The crew took the swing beam down first, then the tower, cutting the heavier beams to length. The anchors were pulled. Everything left on one truck. Bigger sets with a separate swing beam land at the top of our playset range — still a single visit.

Playset, Swing Set & Trampoline Removal FAQs

Can you remove the anchors or the concrete footings?

Playset anchors are usually spikes or small poured pads we can pull. In-ground basketball posts set in a big concrete footing we can cut flush at ground level; digging out a large footing is an excavation job.

Do you take the rubber mulch or sand under it?

Yes, by the truckload. It's often more than you'd guess — a play area can hold a cubic yard or two — and the crew will include it in the estimate if you want it gone.

Is the wood recyclable?

Most playsets are pressure-treated or cedar with treated posts; treated wood can't be recycled or burned and goes to a licensed facility. Metal parts are recycled.

Can I sell or donate a playset instead?

If it's structurally sound, yes — post it free on a neighborhood group and someone may dismantle and take it. If it's showing rot or wobble, removal is the safer route.

How long does it take?

Trampolines about 30 minutes. Wooden playsets 1–3 hours depending on size.
