At the yard I go to, the fencing material needs to be cut into no larger than 3'x3' square.
OR
The easy way...it can be stuffed into a tank, or a car body........something that can go in the crusher. This is how I get rid of all fencing wire. With big rolls of fencing (non chain link), I smash it with the loader first.
Most yards are "if it's metal, we take it" mentality.
thanks alot again
May be a stupid question, but I have a chain link fence and several of the poles have cement on the ends (from securing in ground). I'm guessing scrap yards won't take this? Would I have to cut off the good parts and throw away the cement covered parts?
Thanks in adavance
If you can jack the posts out, a sledge will take care of the cement. Up here, the posts usually go 42 inches into the ground. How far they go in your area would depend on how far the winter frost reaches.Quote:

thank you. guess I need a sledge hammer! They don't go near as far down here. just a foot a little more
The yards I use will take the chainlink but not the post with concrete. You need to brake the concrete off or cut the post.
funny thing is at my yard when you drop a big enough chain link fence the crane guy will use it as a broom to sweep up the rest of the metal into one big pile
I've also seen this at yards I use, one yard picked up a car by the side and used it to sweep up the steel and push it up onto the pile.
My yards do the same thing. They use a big wad of chainlink as a sweeper. The concrete is pretty easy to break off with a sledge hammer.
What would you use to cut the actual chain link part of the fence? An angle grinder? I've never done one. Thanks in advance for answers.
You can either clip the bottom or use a pliers and unravel the twist and then just unscrew the clipped wire out. This is easiest if the fence is laying down.
HTH
New sign up at the yard today, they can no longer take fencing, matress springs or barbed wire.
Did they give a reason ?Quote:

one yard I use will not take it, says it gets tangled up in their shredder. The other yard I use will take it which is nice because I have 5 rolls waiting to be loaded into my truck which are about 2 feet in diameter.
I can use the boom on the tractor to load it but hopefully someone can help me offload it at the yard, that stuff is heavy and awkward.
NewAttitude,
Is there no resale value to the fencing? Or is it all rusty and gibbled up?
I had to pay a pretty good buck to get a decent roll of 6' chain link at an auction a couple of years ago.

I've only ever listed one item for sale on CL and that was an item easy to load into my truck if I had to deliver it. I really have no room in my garage to store it and if it sells no way can I load it up in my truck without dads tractor.
I have no idea if the fencing alone would sell or not without the poles and accessories.
It will sell without the posts. Do you have a consignment auction house that you could drop it off at?
Yeah they use it as a broom at my yard too. Funny dam site!Quote:
