Farm Cleanup Services

Complete Farm and Agricultural Property Cleanup

Farm cleanups are often more complicated than ordinary junk removal. Unwanted material may be spread across several acres, buried beneath vegetation or stored inside barns and outbuildings.

Different materials may also need to be separated for disposal, recycling or specialized handling.

Trash B Gone can coordinate the cleanup process from start to finish.

Depending on the property, our service may include:

• Collecting scattered debris
• Sorting different material types
• Loading heavy and bulky items
• Removing junk from barns and outbuildings
• Clearing fields and fence lines
• Cutting back accessible vegetation
• Providing trucks, bins and equipment
• Hauling material from the property
• Arranging appropriate disposal or recycling

Large projects are inspected before the final scope, price and cleanup plan are confirmed.

Farm Waste and Debris We Remove

We can assess most non-hazardous farm junk and debris, including:

• Scrap metal
• Old fencing
• Fence posts
• Unwanted lumber
• Broken pallets
• Farm workshop clutter
• Damaged tools
• Tires
• Empty storage containers
• Plastic pots and trays
• Irrigation pipe
• Hoses and tubing
• Tarps and covers
• Abandoned furniture
• Household junk
• Appliances
• Construction debris
• Broken shelving
• Branches and brush
• Blackberry growth
• Garbage scattered across fields
• Debris surrounding barns and outbuildings

Material acceptance depends on its condition and whether it has been contaminated by fuel, chemicals, pesticides, animal waste or another regulated substance.

Send photographs of all material when requesting your assessment.

Barn and Outbuilding Cleanouts

Barns, sheds, workshops and storage buildings can accumulate years of damaged equipment, scrap metal, lumber, containers and general clutter.

Our crew can remove approved contents from:

• Barns
• Equipment sheds
• Workshops
• Greenhouses
• Storage buildings
• Livestock shelters
• Garages
• Shipping containers
• Pump houses
• Other accessible outbuildings

Before the cleanup, the property owner must clearly identify which items are being removed and which must remain.

Trash B Gone does not determine the ownership or value of farm equipment, tools or stored materials. Valuable, operational or sentimental items should be separated before our crew begins.

Field and Fence-Line Cleanup

Discarded materials can become hidden beneath grass, blackberry bushes and other vegetation along the edges of agricultural properties.

We can clear accessible debris from:

• Fence lines
• Field edges
• Rural driveways
• Drainage areas
• Around barns and sheds
• Wooded property sections
• Equipment storage areas
• Vacant sections of farmland
• Areas affected by illegal dumping

Our crew can combine garbage removal with blackberry cutting, brush clearing and green-waste hauling when included in the approved scope.

Heavily buried material, unstable terrain and environmentally sensitive areas may require a separate assessment or specialized contractor.

Farm Scrap Metal Removal

Old farms often contain unused metal, damaged fencing, broken equipment parts and other recyclable material.

We may remove:

• Metal fencing
• Gates
• Shelving
• Metal roofing
• Empty metal containers
• Equipment parts
• Appliances
• Steel posts
• Wire
• Scrap machinery
• Metal frames
• Workshop scrap

Large machinery, vehicles, tanks and heavy equipment may require fluids to be removed, ownership to be verified or specialized transportation to be arranged.

Scrap value, if any, depends on the material, contamination, preparation requirements and current facility policies. Any potential credit must be agreed upon before the cleanup begins.

Overgrown Farm and Vegetation Cleanup

Blackberry bushes, brush and fallen branches can restrict access to fence lines, buildings and unused areas of farmland.

Our vegetation cleanup services may include:

• Blackberry cutting
• Brush removal
• Branch and green-waste removal
• Fence-line clearing
• Clearing around outbuildings
• Opening access to neglected areas
• Removing garbage hidden beneath vegetation
• Mechanical vegetation clearing for qualifying properties

Cutting vegetation does not prevent future regrowth. Blackberry root removal, excavation, spraying and long-term vegetation management are separate considerations unless specifically included in the written quote.

Tell us if livestock, pets, wells, septic systems, waterways, crops or environmentally sensitive areas are nearby.

Agricultural Property Cleanup Before Sale

Preparing a farm for listing, transfer or redevelopment can require the removal of years of accumulated material.

We work with:

• Farm owners
• Families
• Realtors
• Executors
• Estate representatives
• Property managers
• Developers
• Contractors
• Financial institutions
• Government organizations

A pre-sale cleanup can improve access to buildings, fields and other areas that prospective buyers or inspectors may need to view.

Services can include barn cleanouts, field debris removal, vegetation clearing, scrap removal and general property cleanup.

Estate and Inherited Farm Cleanouts

Inherited farms may contain decades of equipment, stored materials and personal belongings. Determining what should remain and what should be removed can be a major undertaking.

Trash B Gone can complete the physical cleanup after the authorized representative has identified the approved removal areas and items.

For estate projects, we recommend:

• Removing legal documents and personal records.
• Identifying machinery and equipment with potential value.
• Separating family or sentimental belongings.
• Marking items that must remain.
• Confirming who has authority to approve removal.
• Photographing the property before work begins.

We follow the approved scope and do not appraise tools, equipment, antiques or farm machinery.

Abandoned Farm and Illegal Dumping Cleanup

Remote sections of rural properties can attract illegal dumping. Garbage may include furniture, tires, construction waste and loose household debris.

We can assess dumped material located along:

• Farm roads
• Field entrances
• Fence lines
• Ditches
• Vacant property sections
• Wooded areas
• Outbuildings
• Unused yards

Tell us immediately if the dumped material includes needles, chemicals, fuel containers, asbestos, animal remains or unknown substances. These materials may require specialized handling.

Materials Requiring Special Handling

Some agricultural materials cannot be treated as ordinary junk.

Notify us before the assessment if the property contains:

• Pesticides or herbicides
• Fertilizers
• Fuel or oil
• Chemical containers
• Propane cylinders
• Compressed gas cylinders
• Batteries
• Asbestos-containing material
• Contaminated soil
• Animal remains
• Veterinary or medical waste
• Needles or sharps
• Sewage
• Manure
• Unknown liquids or powders
• Refrigerants
• Explosives or ammunition

Specialized testing, containment, transportation or disposal may be required. Trash B Gone does not knowingly place regulated hazardous materials into general waste loads.

Farm Structure Demolition and Removal

Some farm cleanup projects involve damaged sheds, shelters or other unwanted structures.

Depending on the structure, condition, utilities and permit requirements, we may be able to demolish and remove qualifying:

• Small sheds
• Storage structures
• Fencing
• Gates
• Shelving
• Non-structural interior materials
• Small animal shelters
• Greenhouse components
• Other approved farm structures

Large barns, silos, structural buildings, tanks and utility-connected structures require a separate assessment and may need engineering, permits or specialized contractors.

Our Farm Cleanup Process

What Determines the Cost of a Farm Cleanup?

Farm cleanup pricing depends on:

• Property size
• Amount of debris
• Material types
• Disposal weight and volume
• Number of cleanup areas
• Required labour
• Terrain and access
• Distance from the road
• Equipment requirements
• Number of trucks or bins
• Recycling and disposal fees
• Hazardous or regulated materials
• Estimated project duration

Photographs can help establish the general scope, but extensive farm cleanups usually require an on-site assessment.
