What's included
Trampoline teardown and haul away
A trampoline is easy to put up and surprisingly hard to take down. Rusty springs fight back, enclosure poles get stuck in their sockets and the frame is far too big to fit in a car. JunkHaulAwayPros sends a crew with the tools to take it apart quickly, bundle every piece and haul it all away.
- Full disassembly. Springs, mat, frame and legs taken apart on site.
- Enclosures included. Safety nets, poles and padding go in the same trip.
- Anchors pulled. Ground stakes and anchor kits removed when possible.
- Recycled as scrap. Galvanized steel frames and springs go to recyclers.
There's nothing to prepare except clearing a path to the backyard. Old, rusted trampolines are no problem, and neither are ones that were damaged by wind or partly collapsed.

Common reasons
When families book trampoline disposal
Trampolines get a lot of use for a few years, then sit empty. Here's why people usually call.
Kids grew up
Teenagers move on and the trampoline turns into a lawn shade.
Rust and tears
Worn mats, broken springs and rusted frames aren't safe to jump on.
Storm damage
High winds can flip trampolines and bend frames beyond repair.
Lawn repair
Removing it lets the dead patch of grass recover.
Selling the house
A rusty trampoline doesn't help listing photos.
Insurance concerns
Some homeowners remove trampolines to simplify coverage.
A closer look
When a trampoline has reached the end
Backyard trampolines take a beating. Sun breaks down the mat and safety net, rain rusts the springs and frame, and winter snow and wind add their own wear. After a few years, even a well-loved trampoline can have frayed stitching, missing springs and padding that no longer covers the frame.
Those signs matter for safety. Torn mats can give way, rusted springs can snap and exposed frames are a common cause of jumping injuries. If replacement parts cost nearly as much as a new trampoline, or the kids have simply moved on, removal is often the most practical choice.
Taking a trampoline down is mostly a matter of tools and patience. Springs need a spring puller, enclosure poles may be stuck in their sockets and frame sections can be seized together with rust. The crew handles all of it and collects every spring and bolt so nothing is left hidden in the grass.
Once the trampoline is gone, the lawn underneath usually needs a little help. Raking the area, adding a bit of topsoil and seeding bare spots can bring the grass back within a few weeks, giving you more open space for play, gardening or a new patio.
On pickup day
What to expect when the crew arrives
Most trampoline removals take well under an hour. The crew disassembles everything, bundles the parts and loads the truck. Here's how the visit goes.
Arrival window confirmed
You'll know when the crew is coming so the gate can be unlocked.
Enclosure comes down
Nets, poles and padding are removed first.
Springs and frame
Springs are unhooked, the mat removed and the frame taken apart.
Yard cleared
Every piece is loaded and loose springs are picked up from the grass.
Two ways to book
Already taken apart or still standing
You can leave the trampoline standing for the crew to dismantle, or take it apart yourself and leave the pieces out.
Full removal
The crew takes the trampoline apart and hauls every piece away. It's the easiest option for large or rusted trampolines.
Curbside pickup
If you've already disassembled it, stack the pieces near the driveway, and you don't need to be home.
Rusted springs are under tension and can snap back. If you're not sure how to remove them safely, it's best to leave the teardown to the crew.
Responsible disposal
Trampoline recycling, frame to springs
A trampoline is mostly galvanized steel, which makes it very recyclable. After teardown, the frame and springs are separated from the mat and netting.
Steel frames, legs, springs and enclosure poles go to scrap metal recyclers. Polypropylene mats, nets and foam padding usually can't be recycled, so they're disposed of properly. Trampolines in good condition may be donated.
Backyard access
Rusty springs and fenced yards
Trampolines are usually set up in the middle of a fenced backyard, and the pieces are long and awkward to carry through gates. Rusted springs and seized bolts can make disassembly slow and frustrating.
Crews bring spring pullers and tools to take everything apart safely. Frame sections are carried out through gates without scraping fences, and stray springs and hardware are collected from the grass.
If the trampoline is on a slope, partly collapsed or tangled in a fence after a storm, mention it when you book so the crew can plan.

Trampoline removal tips
Watch the springs
Old springs are under tension and can fly loose when removed. If you're not experienced, leave the disassembly to the crew.
Anchors can stay
Ground anchors are removed when possible, but deeply buried augers may need to be cut at ground level.
The grass will recover
The yellow patch under a trampoline usually greens up within a few weeks once it gets sunlight and water.
Quick prep
Before removal day
There isn't much to do before a trampoline removal. A couple of quick steps help the crew get started.
- Unlock the gate. Make sure the crew can reach the backyard.
- Clear toys and furniture. Move anything around the trampoline out of the way.
- Keep pets inside. Gates will be open while the crew works.
- Point out extras. Let the crew know if the swing set or toys should go too.
Weighing your options
Taking it down yourself?
Removing a trampoline yourself means pulling dozens of tight springs, wrestling rusty bolts and carrying long frame pieces that won't fit in most vehicles. Many trash programs won't accept trampolines unless they're cut into short pieces, and scrap yards require a truck and a separate trip.
| Task | Doing it yourself | With a crew |
|---|---|---|
| Lifting & stairs | You and whoever you can recruit | Handled by trained pros |
| Transportation | Borrow or rent a truck or trailer | Truck arrives with the crew |
| Finding a drop-off | Call around about charities, landfills and city rules | Sorted for donation, recycling or disposal |
| Time | Often half a day or more | Usually under an hour on site |
| Risk | Strained backs, scuffed walls, dented doorframes | Floors and walls protected |
A small mini trampoline is easy to toss. For full-size backyard trampolines with enclosures, a crew handles the teardown and disposal in one visit.

Trampoline Removal FAQ
Trampoline removal questions
Don't see your question? Send us a note and we'll get back to you within one business day.
Do I need to take the trampoline apart first?
No. Disassembly is included, and the crew will take the trampoline apart on site. They'll remove the safety enclosure, unhook the springs, take off the mat and break down the frame and legs. If you've already taken it apart, just stack the pieces where the crew can reach them. Leaving the teardown to the crew is safer if the springs are rusty or under heavy tension. Gloves and eye protection are a good idea if you decide to remove any springs yourself.
Can you remove a trampoline damaged in a storm?
Yes. Trampolines that have been flipped, bent or tangled in a fence by high winds are common pickups. The crew will carefully separate the trampoline from fences or other structures and cut or break down bent frame sections as needed. If the trampoline is touching power lines, contact your utility company first and don't approach it. Storm-damaged frames are often sharp, so keep kids and pets away until the crew arrives.
Do you remove the ground anchors?
When possible, yes. Standard anchor kits and stakes are pulled out and hauled away with the trampoline. Some auger-style anchors are buried deep or rusted in place, and those may need to be cut off at ground level instead. Mention anchors when you book, and the crew will remove what they can safely so the lawn can be mowed again. Any anchor pieces left behind will be pointed out so you know where they are.
Can you take the swing set or playset too?
Absolutely. Swing sets, playsets, slides, playhouses, basketball hoops and outdoor toys can all go in the same pickup. Wooden playsets are disassembled on site, and metal swing sets are taken apart and recycled. If posts are set in concrete, they may be cut at ground level. List everything when you book so the crew brings enough space. Taking down several play structures in one visit is often quicker than scheduling them separately.
Is my old trampoline recycled?
Mostly, yes. Trampoline frames, legs, springs and enclosure poles are galvanized steel, so they're sent to scrap metal recyclers. The jumping mat, safety net and foam padding are made of materials that usually can't be recycled, so they're disposed of properly. Trampolines that are still in good, safe condition may be donated. Donated trampolines must have intact mats, nets and springs to be safe for the next family.
