How it works
How fence removal works in Key West

Florida rules
Titles, disposal, and Florida rules for fence removal
Florida does not require a permit for residential fence removal, but disposal facilities have rules about what they accept and what carries a fee. Florida counties enforce derelict vessel rules aggressively and fines add up fast, which is why boat calls go to the front of the schedule.
Hazardous materials are the one hard limit: paint, solvents, chemicals, and asbestos go through your county's household hazardous waste program, not through us. Everything else we sort for donation and recycling first.
Hurricane season turns marinas into salvage yards, and every storm brings a wave of boat removals, refloating, and flooded property cleanouts.

Questions from Key West
Fence Removal in Key West: your questions
Do you pull the concrete footings?
Yes. Posts come out with the footing so the new fence can go in the same line.
Can you leave some sections?
Yes. Mark what stays and we remove the rest.
Do you offer same-day fence removal in Key West?
Often, yes. Call early in the day for the best chance at a same-day window, and ask for the first open window if today is full. Next-day is almost always available.
Are you licensed and insured for fence removal in Florida?
Yes. Lucky Hauling carries general liability and auto coverage for every job in Florida. Ask the office for a certificate of insurance and we will email it before the crew arrives.

How do I set up fence removal in Key West?
Photos are fastest. Tell us what it is, where it sits, and how soon you need it gone, and we schedule the on-site estimate.
Do I need to be home for fence removal in Key West?
Not necessarily. Many Key West customers meet us at the start and leave, or approve by text from photos the crew sends. Someone does need to say yes before anything is loaded.
What should I do before the crew gets to Key West?
Very little. Decide what stays, point it out or tape it, and clear a path if it is easy. Set aside anything with personal data you want to keep. The crew does the rest.
Can you get it out of a tight spot in Key West?
Yes. Narrow stairs, basements, and backyards with no gate are normal. We carry it out by hand and protect the floors on the way.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
Rain does not stop most jobs. Lightning, ice, and high wind do, especially for boat lifts and tow work. If we have to move your window we tell you as early as we can and reschedule at no charge.
Where does the junk from Key West actually go?
Donatable items go to donation partners, metal and cardboard are recycled, and the rest goes to a licensed transfer station or landfill. Florida counties enforce derelict vessel rules aggressively and fines add up fast, which is why boat calls go to the front of the schedule.
