Scrapping a Pool?

Yes but the deck is going to cost you to dump. You will not make any money on the project after paying dumping fees, but it is still worth scrapping the metals.

Does your area have a big item garbage day? Maybe you could put the deck out in 2 or 3 piles if you have somewhere to keep it for a while? In my neighbourhood you can put out large items any garbage day, up to 2 or 3 items, I believe. I would check with your waste collection company and see if you can get rid of it that way. Save the dumping fees at least.

I've got a pool teardown to do here in the near future.. waiting on the right time per the owner. DING!

Just scoped my pool tear down.. Pretty straight forward. Walls are a solid run of sheet steel. Basically, the liner and cutting that up will be the most fun of all.. Pool is drained.. but you have that 5" of scum water in the bottom.. MMMM good eatin!

Looks like all the tools I'll need are:
1. A drill with screw head
2. Razor Blade
3. Sawzall
4. Bucket for screws

Can't imagine this taking more than a couple hours to completely tear down, load up and prosper from.

Its worth it! The weight adds up fast. I found it easier to cut the walls in sections, roll them up and move them with a pole in the center if you are by yourself. Its easier to use the pole to propel them up into the truck also. Unless you have a trailer and can roll the4 sections right onto that. Good luck!

Always check the walls with a magnet as some may be aluminum. Round pools are easy. Cut the liner around the inside with a box cutter, remove the top rails and support posts. Cut wall in four sections, roll them up, tie them and put in vehicle. Hopefully you get the pump too. The liner I bag up and let the owner put out with the trash.

Oval pools are a PIA !!! There are support plates and brackets under the pool. Bring a shovel and long pry bar along for the job. I would definitely charge to remove an oval pool. $100 minimum starting at one that is 12 ft long and go up from there. Trust me they are a ***** to do!
