Two years ago, a family in Northglenn bought a house that came with a massive 24-foot above ground pool. By the end of the first summer, the liner tore, the metal walls started rusting, and the kids lost interest. It sat empty for a year, collecting leaves and taking up half their yard. They called us on a Tuesday, and by Wednesday afternoon, our crew had completely dismantled the metal frame, rolled up the heavy liner, hauled away the sand base, and left them with a massive open yard ready for new grass.
Above ground pools are great for a few summers, but when they break down or the kids grow up, they become a huge liability. Tearing them down is a dirty, physically exhausting job. The metal walls are sharp and dangerous to cut, the vinyl liners weigh hundreds of pounds when wet, and getting rid of the debris requires multiple trips to the dump. ZZZ Junk Removal specializes in above ground pool removal across Arvada, Westminster, Broomfield, and the Denver metro area, saving you days of back-breaking labor.
How We Remove Your Pool
We handle the entire demolition and removal process from start to finish. You just need to ensure the pool is completely drained of water before we arrive. Here is our process:
- 1. Safe Dismantling: We carefully take apart the top rails, uprights, and metal walls. We use heavy-duty tools to cut down rusted sections safely, preventing sharp metal from littering your yard.
- 2. Liner Removal: We cut up and roll away the heavy vinyl liner. This is often the heaviest part of the job, especially if there is stagnant water or mud at the bottom.
- 3. Decking & Accessories: If you have an old wooden pool deck, ladders, pumps, or filters, we dismantle and haul those away as well.
- 4. Complete Clean-up: We rake the area to remove any lingering debris, screws, or plastic pieces, leaving the ground ready for landscaping.
Recycling Your Old Pool
Above ground pools contain a massive amount of steel and aluminum. We do not just throw these valuable materials into a landfill. We sort the metal components and haul them to local scrap yards and recycling centers in Colorado. We also ensure that the pumps and motors are recycled properly. Our commitment to eco-friendly disposal means you can feel good about choosing us. Learn more about our green practices on our Junk Recycling page.
