Barn, Shed and Rural Property Cleanouts

A barn or shed cleanout means we haul off everything crammed into an old outbuilding and stacked around it (if the building itself needs to go, see what shed removal costs): rotted lumber, rusted tools, feed sacks, sheet tin, broken furniture, farm scrap, and whatever the last few decades left behind. County Line Junk Disposal does this kind of work on rural property all the time, and we come to you, out past the city limits and down the long gravel driveways most haulers would rather skip. We run out of Trinity and cover a 50-mile stretch of East Texas, so a leaning tin shed off a county road in Trinity County is a normal day for us. You point at the pile, we load it, and we pull the metal worth scrapping before the rest heads to the transfer station. Nothing gets dumped down a back road.

A barn or shed cleanout is the whole clear-out of an outbuilding: old lumber, sheet tin, busted tools, tires, dead appliances, fencing wire, and the general heap that collects in a structure nobody has emptied in years. We sort it, carry it, and load it, so you are not climbing over the pile yourself or running it to the county drop-off one truckload at a time.

Rural cleanouts run different from a garage in town. The footing is dirt or crumbling concrete, the light is bad, and there is a fair chance a wasp nest, a snake, or a pack rat den is riding along in that stack of boards. We have pulled apart chicken coops that had half turned back into dirt, hay barns holding rotted bales, and equipment sheds where the roof came down years ago and nobody wanted to deal with it. Old structures like that are heavy, awkward, and full of surprises, which is the exact kind of work we set up for. Twenty-plus years of running heavy equipment and building homes means a caved-in shed does not rattle us.

A barn or shed cleanout is priced by the space it takes up in the trailer, with no hourly meter running while we work. A garden shed's worth of junk often lands around a quarter load. A stuffed pole barn can fill a full load or spill into a second trip. Here is the whole ladder so nothing catches you off guard:

• Single item: $95
• Quarter load: $175
• Half load: $325
• Three-quarter load: $475
• Full load: $650

A few things carry a small add-on: a fridge or freezer with freon is +$35, each mattress is +$30, tires are priced per item, and heavy debris like concrete, dirt, or old roofing gets weighed and quoted. Travel is free inside 25 miles of Trinity. Past that, out to the 50-mile edge, we add a small trip fee of about $2 a mile and tell you the number up front. New customers take 15% off the first job. We set the firm price on site before we lift a thing, and you are free to walk if it does not sit right. The number we say is the number you pay. The services page lists everything else we load if the barn is coming out alongside a house or a yard full of junk.

Scrap metal comes with the territory on a working place, and we take it: worn-out implements, rusted roofing panels, fence wire, well pipe, old water heaters, busted tin, and the general iron that stacks up in a barn corner over the years. Metal with any value gets pulled and scrapped rather than dumped, which is better for the land and shaves a little weight off the tipping bill.

Bigger stuff comes out too. Push mowers, a dead tiller, half a disc harrow, a rusted-through stock tank: if it fits on the Big Tex dump trailer, it can go. There are a few things we leave alone, and we will tell you straight. We do not haul live chemicals, pesticides, or fuel sitting in a tank, and we are not set up for biohazard work. Drain the fuel and set the chemicals aside for proper disposal, and the rest of the barn is fair game.

Coming out to rural property is the main thing we set up for. A lot of haulers stick close to town because the drives are long and the ground is rough. We go the other way. The 2024 Ram and the dump trailer handle a washed-out driveway fine, and when a shed is grown over or the path to it is choked with brush, the Mahindra tractor cuts a way in so we can get the trailer close instead of packing junk a hundred yards by hand.

Places like Groveton and Apple Springs sit right in our wheelhouse, and both are the kind of spread-out country where the nearest dumpster is a long haul off. If the job needs more than a cleanout, if there is brush and downed limbs tangled up with the junk, we can run the tractor while we are already there. What light land clearing runs around here is laid out in our guide to land clearing cost in East Texas.

A fair number of these calls come from folks who just inherited a family place and found the barn, the sheds, and the back acre all full. It adds up fast, and it can feel like more than one family should have to sort on a weekend. We work it at whatever pace suits you, one building at a time or the whole property in a stretch, and it stays priced by the load the entire way through.

When the cleanout is tied to settling a house and its contents, the steps line up with what we cover in our estate cleanout guide, from setting keepsakes aside to clearing a room at a time. Barns and back lots tend to be the last piece of that, and the part most crews would rather not touch. We will take the whole thing.

Ready to get that barn or shed emptied? Text or call (936) 259-3200, or send a few photos through the contact page and we will get you a firm quote. We answer our own phone, we work seven days a week from 8 in the morning to 6 in the evening, and we take cash, check, or Cash App once the trailer is loaded and gone. Whether your place sits near Trinity, out toward Groveton, or anywhere in the 50-mile radius, we will haul the pile, pull the scrap, and leave you a clear spot where the junk used to be.
