Fence Removal in Shelton, CT

On lots this dense, half the fences touch a property line. We pull them clean — after you and the neighbor agree whose fence it is.

Call (203) 219-8855Get a Quote

In Shelton, this work runs from Huntington out to White Hills and Pine Rock Park.

Fence removal is the rare demolition you can price from your own pacing — the rate follows the linear foot, so walking the line gets you close before you ever call. What moves a quote above its floor is visible at the walkthrough: concrete-set posts that fight extraction, vines woven through the fabric, a line the truck can't park near. Chain link mostly leaves as scrap metal, the cheapest exit in the business; wood and vinyl haul as tonnage to licensed transfer stations. Whatever the mix, the total goes in writing with disposal inside it, and the number you sign is the number you pay.

How the job goes

Panels and rails first, then posts — pulled where they'll pull, cut at grade and disclosed where they won't.

Where Shelton’s debris actually goes

The do-it-yourself route exists here: Shelton’s station takes C&D at the town’s published By load size, dump ticket purchased in advance, CASH OR CHECK ONLY: Mini Van/Pick-up truck up to 6' bed $30.00; Trailer/Van/Pick-up Truck up to 8' bed $45.00; Trailer 8'-12'/Mason Dump/Box Truck up to 10' $60.00; Box Truck up to 16' $80.00 source, resident permit required. Our route: the debris leaves in the can that’s already on the job, weighed once, billed at posted rates — no permit line, no pickup-truck trips, no guessing what the scale will say.

Routing around the Merritt

Every Fairfield County dispatch starts with the same routing fact: the Merritt Parkway prohibits commercial vehicles, so our trucks take I-95 along the coast or Route 7 and Route 8 inland. It's built into how we schedule the county — your job, our routing problem — and the drive runs roughly 30–75 minutes from our Stamford and West Haven yards depending on your corner of the county.

Fence lines here are back-of-lot work on tight streets, so the truck usually stages in the driveway or at the curb while the crew works the line on foot. Pulled posts, rolled fabric, and stacked panels all carry out to the truck — a short walk on most lots, measured at the walkthrough where it isn't.

What it costs

Fence pricing runs by the footage and the material, partial runs welcome.

What we take

Wood, vinyl, and chain-link runs, gates and hardware included; poured curbing under a run is clean-fill work we'll point you to instead.

Fence Removal in Shelton — questions we actually get

Anything I should do before the crew gets there?
Walk the line once. Flag anything buried along it — irrigation heads, buried dog-fence wire, landscape lighting runs — because a post plug coming up doesn't know the difference between dirt and your sprinkler main. Unlock the gates and move anything leaning against the fence. That's the whole list.
Can you time the removal with my new fence install?
That's the normal way it goes — old fence out a day or two before the installer arrives, so the yard isn't open any longer than it has to be. Give us the install date and we'll work backward from it. If you've got dogs, say so at booking and we'll talk through the gap window honestly.
Where does an old fence end up?
Chain-link is the honest recycling story — fabric, rails, and posts all go out as scrap metal. Vinyl goes as bulky waste; there's no meaningful recycling stream for weathered PVC fence. Old wood stockade is C&D, and pressure-treated posts follow the same no-burn rule as deck lumber.
Is there anything you won't take with the fence?
Dirt and concrete beyond what rides out on a pulled post. If a run has poured curb or footing wall under it, that's clean-fill territory and we'll point you at the right kind of hauler for it.
The fence is buried in vines and hedge — is that a problem?
It's extra cutting, not a dealbreaker. A run that's grown into forsythia or bittersweet gets cut free section by section, and the vegetation we cut to free the fence rides out with it. What we don't do is hedge removal disguised as fence work — if the real job is clearing the green wall, we'll quote that as its own line.
Why can't your trucks just take the Merritt?
Because the parkway bans commercial vehicles — it's a hard rule, not a preference, and every hauler working this county lives with it. Our trucks run I-95 or come down Route 7 or Route 8 instead. It's already baked into our Fairfield County scheduling, so it doesn't change your quote or your booking window; it's just why the truck arrives from the direction it does.
The fence between us and the neighbor is falling down and nobody remembers who built it. Now what?
Talk first, then call us. A boundary fence with unclear ownership is a conversation — or occasionally a property survey — between you and the neighbor, and it has to happen before removal, because we can't referee it from the truck. The good news: in our experience most neighbors are delighted to split the cost of removing an eyesore both of them have been staring at. Once you're agreed, the removal itself is routine.
What does it cost to dump fence removal debris at the Shelton transfer station?
Shelton publishes By load size, dump ticket purchased in advance, CASH OR CHECK ONLY: Mini Van/Pick-up truck up to 6' bed $30.00; Trailer/Van/Pick-up Truck up to 8' bed $45.00; Trailer 8'-12'/Mason Dump/Box Truck up to 10' $60.00; Box Truck up to 16' $80.00 for residential construction and demolition material at Shelton Transfer Station. That's the do-it-yourself route; on our jobs the debris rides out in the can that's already on site, weighed once and billed at our posted rates.
Do I need a permit to use the Shelton transfer station?
Yes — Shelton requires a resident permit for station access, per the town's posted rules. Factor the permit into any DIY disposal math; our trucks don't need one because we don't use the resident line.
When is the Shelton transfer station open?
The town posts Monday – Saturday 7:00 AM – 1:30 PM (closed major holidays). Holiday closures apply — check the town's page before you load, or skip the trip entirely and let the can take the schedule problem off your plate.
