Seattle Above-Ground Pool Teardown

One quote covers the whole job.

If you’ve called around, you’ve probably heard the runaround. A pool company quotes the dismantle, then tells you to call a hauler for the debris, then sends you to a plumber to cap the line. Three trucks, three invoices, three days off work.

We do all of it. Drain the water through your hose, cut and cap the plumbing, unbolt the walls, roll the liner, dig out the wood deck if there is one, and load every piece into the truck. The yard is swept and ready before we leave.

We’ve torn out above-ground pools in Wedgwood, Magnolia, Renton, and across the Eastside — round steel-walled, oval Intex, soft-sided, hard-sided, with decks and without. The number we quote is the number you pay.

Call us at (206) 722-4285 or text us a photo for a quick quote — we’ll get back to you within the hour during business hours.

What we take

Every part of the pool, in one truck.

Walls & frame

Steel, resin, or aluminum panels — unbolted, stacked, hauled flat.

Liner & water

Drained safely through your hose, liner rolled and removed.

Pump, filter & plumbing

Hoses, skimmer, sand or cartridge filter — pulled and capped at the source.

Ladders, decks & coping

Wood access decks dismantled. Coping strips and rails pulled. No tripping hazards left behind.

Pavers & sand base

Sand bed raked out, pavers stacked or hauled — your call.

Metal recycling

Steel walls, aluminum frames, copper from the pump — routed to private recycling partners across King County.

How it works

Three steps to a yard you can use again.

1

You point

Show us the pool. Free on-site estimate, firm number before we touch a thing.

2

Yard restored

Sand base raked smooth, debris swept, ready for sod, garden, or a new deck.

Jbg Junk B Gone Truck Seattle

What the end looks like

Loaded and gone in one trip.

Walls stacked flat. Liner rolled and tied. Pump and plumbing in a tote. Wood deck broken down and lashed to the bed.

One trip from your driveway to our sort yard. Steel and aluminum split off for recycling, liner and PVC sent to the right place, anything reusable routed to charitable organizations like Second Spark.

You don’t see another truck. No second visit, no return-trip surcharge, no “we’ll come back tomorrow for the metal.”

Text us a photo of the pool — we’ll give you a number within the hour during business hours.

Sorted, donated, recycled

The metal doesn't go to the dump.

An above-ground pool is mostly recoverable material — steel walls, aluminum top rails, copper from the pump, PVC plumbing. Sending it all to a transfer station is the lazy answer.

We’ve spent years building relationships with private recycling partners across King County who pay scrap rates for clean metal. That’s how we keep the per-job number reasonable AND keep tons of steel out of the landfill.

Pump still works? Filter housing intact? Those go to charitable organizations like Second Spark before they hit the recycling stream. We sort every job.

Above ground pool removal prices

Priced by how much of the truck it fills

Walls, liner, frame, pump and any deck around it, all in one quote. The steel walls and frame go to a metal recycler.

Load sizePrice range
Minimum (1–2 items)$99
1/8 truck$150–$250
1/4 truck$225–$350
1/2 truck$385–$550
3/4 truck$485–$685
Full truck$685–$885

Plus the 3.6% Washington refuse tax. Heavy loads like dirt, concrete and lumber land at the upper end. Tires are $10–$40 each and paint is $10 a gallon. There are no other per-item fees. We give you the exact price on site before we start. Say yes and we load it that visit; say no and you owe nothing.

Clearing the whole backyard?

Same visit, same truck

Hot tub removal

Cut apart and carried out, even from a deck.

Trampoline removal

Frame, springs and mat.

Yard waste and debris

The sand base, pavers and brush around the pool.

Truck size matters

A bigger truck. Fewer trips. More for your money.

One of our trucks next to two cars.

A "full load" only means something if you know the size of the truck. Our beds run 12 to 16 feet long, all 8 feet wide and 5 feet tall, and we often load above the rails and tarp it down. For the biggest jobs we send our 24-foot truck.

More capacity means most projects fit in one load. No second trip charges, no "we'll have to come back tomorrow." You get the same work done for less.

Above-Ground Pool Removal
Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle the water?

Yes. We pump it down through your garden hose to a safe drain — sewer cleanout, French drain, or yard if conditions allow. No chemicals beyond what’s already in the pool, no special permits needed for residential above-ground pool drainage in King County.

What about the wood deck attached to the pool?

If you want it gone, we take it. Lumber, fasteners, posts, footings — all out and hauled in the same visit. If you want to keep the deck, we work around it.

How long does an above-ground pool removal take?

Most jobs are 2–4 hours from arrival to truck-loaded. A 24-foot round with a wraparound deck might run a half day. We don’t disappear for a second visit.

What happens to the pool itself?

Steel and aluminum frames go to private recycling partners across King County — we’ve negotiated volume pricing so the metal stays out of the landfill. Liners go where they’re supposed to. Working pumps get assessed for donation through charitable organizations like Second Spark. We sort, donate, and recycle on every job.

Do I need to drain it before you arrive?

No. We bring our own pumps and hoses and handle the draining as part of the job. If you’ve already started, that’s fine too — just leave the hose where you have it.

How much does above-ground pool removal cost?

It depends on the pool's size, whether there's a deck, and access. Our minimum is $99, and most pools fall in the load ranges above, plus the 3.6% refuse tax. You get a firm quote on site.

When should I schedule it?

Any time after your last swim. We run jobs Monday through Saturday, rain or shine.
