Why Us
Why Choose Trash Can Willy's for Swing Set & Playset Removal
We take down wooden playsets and metal swing sets standing on the lawn, and haul the whole thing away in one visit.
Taking it apart is the whole job
A wooden playset is lag-bolted together, weathered into place and far heavier than it looks. We bring the tools for seized bolts and take it apart where it stands, and it goes on the truck as we go.
Ground-standing play equipment only, and we say so up front
We take playsets and swing sets standing on your lawn or on a bed of mulch. We do not take decks off a house, and we do not work in trees. A free-standing deck or one around a pool is case by case, so call and ask. Treehouses are a flat no, because that is climbing work rather than hauling. If that is what you have, we would rather tell you now than on the day.
It all goes on the same visit
The playset, the trampoline, the sandbox and the shed that stored it can all go on the same visit, and we quote them together.
Priced on the work, not the air in the truck
Most junk removal companies charge by how much truck space you use. Bricks or feathers, packed tight or full of air, you can pay the same simply because it takes up the same space. We price the actual job: weight, labor, difficulty and access. And our trucks are huge. Three of many competitors' trucks can fit inside one of ours, which means fewer trips to unload, less time spent dumping and lower costs we can pass on to our customers. Your price is approved before anything moves and doesn't change afterward. Plus, we beat any written quote.
A real crew, in uniform, fully insured
Two or three of us show up depending on the size of the job, with the largest trucks in New England behind them: three of a competitor's trucks fit inside one of our 20-foot boxes. Background-checked, uniformed, trained personnel who watch your corners, your carpets and your floors on the way out. US DOT 2420455, proof of insurance on request.
Local. Veteran-owned. No franchise fees.
Steve built Trash Can Willy's on the same principles he learned in the military: show up when we say we will, honor our quote, communicate clearly and leave your property better than we found it. We're local, not a franchise. No call centers, corporate runaround or franchise fees built into your price. We're BBB A+ Accredited, licensed and insured, and a portion of every job supports Wounded Warrior Family Support. Fair pricing. Great communication. No stress. Just a job done right.

Great experience every time we use Trash Can Willy's. The guys showed up on time and were very polite and personable. They managed to pack 30 years of junk into one truck with no room to spare!
Our Process
How playset removal works
We take the playset apart where it stands, load it and haul it away. Single items start at $35.
Step 1: Tell us the rough size and what it is made of
Call or text 603-490-2177. Wood or metal, one tower or two, a slide and a fort or just swings, and whether the legs are staked or set in concrete.
Step 2: We give you a price on the spot
That phone quote is our best guess, covering the takedown, the haul and the disposal. Add the trampoline or the shed to the same visit and we quote it all together.
Step 3: The crew confirms the exact price on site
Before any work starts, the crew looks at the set and how it is anchored and confirms the price. Once you approve it, it does not change.
Step 4: We take it apart where it stands
Dismantled rather than dragged, so your lawn and your fence survive it. We clear the debris and pick up the hardware we can see as we go.
Step 5: Everything leaves on one truck
The wood, the metal and the plastic all go on the same load, and the metal goes for recycling.

FAQ
Playset removal questions, straight answers
Do you take treehouses?
Not ones in a tree. We do not have the certification or the equipment for putting a crew up a live tree, so that needs a tree company. If the structure is already down on the ground, it is a pile of wood and we will take it.
The legs are set in concrete. Is that a problem?
Tell us when you call. Legs set in concrete change the work and the price, and we will tell you exactly what we can do with yours before you book rather than in the driveway.
Can you take the trampoline at the same time?
Yes. Backyard equipment ages out all at once, so the playset, the trampoline and the sandbox can go on the same visit and we quote them together.
Do I have to move anything to the curb first?
No. You point, we take it. Two or three of us come depending on the size of the job and we do all of the work: out of the basement, down the attic stairs, around the landing, into the truck. You do not lift anything and you do not drag anything outside. We sweep the space broom clean before we leave.
How do you quote a job?
Call or text 603-490-2177 with a description or a few photos and we give you a price range on the spot. That phone quote is our best guess, not a binding number. When the crew arrives they look at the job and confirm the exact price before any work starts. Once you approve it, it does not change. For big jobs and full cleanouts we come out for a free on-site estimate, Monday to Friday 9 to 5.
Do you beat other quotes?
Yes. Bring us any written estimate from another company and we beat it by up to 10%. And every week we draw one customer's completed job and refund it in full, so keep your receipt.
Do I need to be home?
Not if we can get to the stuff. Plenty of jobs are booked by phone, hauled while you're at work, and closed out with photos and a card payment. If access is tight or you want to point at things yourself, be there and we'll walk it with you.
When will you actually show up?
You get a two-hour arrival window and a courtesy call about 20 minutes out, so you're not sitting around all day. Most single-item pickups are done inside an hour of the truck arriving.
What won't you take?
Hazardous waste is the short list: wet paint or stain, gasoline and other flammable liquids loose in cans or drums, propane tanks, solvents, acids, antifreeze, motor oil, asbestos and medical waste. A mower, generator or snow blower with fuel or oil still in it is fine: we drain it as part of the job. Fully dried latex paint is fine. Everything else, if two people can lift it and it fits in the truck, we take it.
How do I pay, and how does the $40 off work?
Credit, debit, cash, or estate, certified and business checks. No personal checks. You get an emailed receipt before the truck leaves. Mention the coupon when you book any job and we take $40 off the quoted price, one per job.
