Minnesota rules
Titles, disposal, and Minnesota rules for fence removal
Minnesota does not require a permit for residential fence removal, but disposal facilities have rules about what they accept and what carries a fee. Minnesota bans mattresses, electronics, and appliances from most landfills, so those items go through certified recyclers.
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.
Ice-out in spring is boat season, and the first cold snap in fall is when cabins get cleared and campers get pulled before the snow.

Questions from New Brighton
Fence Removal in New Brighton: 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 New Brighton?
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 Minnesota?
Yes. Lucky Hauling carries general liability and auto coverage for every job in Minnesota. Ask the office for a certificate of insurance and we will email it before the crew arrives.
Which areas near New Brighton do you cover?
All of Ramsey County, including St. Paul, Maplewood, Roseville and Shoreview. If you are outside that, we still probably cover you; check the Minnesota page for the full city list.
How do I set up fence removal in New Brighton?
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 New Brighton?
Not necessarily. Many New Brighton 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 New Brighton?
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 New Brighton?
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 New Brighton actually go?
Donatable items go to donation partners, metal and cardboard are recycled, and the rest goes to a licensed transfer station or landfill. Minnesota bans mattresses, electronics, and appliances from most landfills, so those items go through certified recyclers.
