Your Trampoline Disposal & Hauling Options
Disassemble for Municipal Curbside Pickup or Free Scrap Metal Drop-Off
In Wake Forest, Charlotte, and Cary, broken-down trampolines are accepted in scheduled curbside bulky pickups once the safety net, mat, springs, and galvanized steel ring are disassembled into bundles under 6–8 feet. You can also take the steel frame and springs for free to Wake County Multi-Material/Convenience Center scrap metal bins or Durham's 2115 E. Club Blvd facility and place the folded poly mat in bulky trash. [2]
Full-Service Backyard Trampoline Disassembly & Removal
Rusted trampoline springs and seized frame bolts can take 2–3 hours to unhook by hand. LoadUp dispatches a crew to unhook the springs, break down the steel frame in your backyard, and haul the entire unit away starting at $195. [1]
