Out With The Old Then What?
New Fence often follows the route of the old fence. So, what happens to the old? Something has to move be it the old fence or the new. Leaving the old fence and installing new presents challenges and is not only not very cost effective due to space constraints but also is very ugly and dangerous as the old fence falls into disrepair. We chose to remove the old fence and haul it away it is the most time-consuming option but is the best option for the landowner. It really bothers me to see a new fence with the old fence piled next to it for years simply because the contractor did not plan for the old fence to be disposed of.
So, what happens when we dispose of your old fence? The old wire is always scrapped. It cost more money to roll up old wire for reuse than it would to buy new wire. Any Non treated wood post is upcycled into firewood for my shop, rotted treated post are disposed of in the land fill or saved for a future project idea I have in my head. Rusted and bent T post are also scrapped, good used posts are usually hauled off unless the landowner would like to keep them. ( I don’t use them so don’t ask, but they are great for repairs) if I keep the post they are kept for when a need arises in our communities, such as a rancher who suffers a fire and all his fence is burnt gone and needs something cheap to keep his livelihood around, or they are donated to a local nonprofit whose goal is to help people, and happens to use livestock to do so we will give them out used material. We love people and we love helping people. So, if you or someone you know needs fence material after a disaster, or your nonprofit (that helps people) needs fence material contact us we may be able to help.
