How much does it cost to get rid of an old mobile home?

I'm wanting to buy some rural wooded land for a good price however there is an old mobile home on the property that is beyond repair and would need to be removed from the property where I plan to build a new home and shop building.

How much would it cost to get rid of the old mobile home?

Hiring professionals to come and remove and dispose of the old mobile home can cost as much as $3,000.00 and I should know because I called a professional company to ask them for a quote to remove and dispose of an old mobile home on a lot.

I finally just hired someone else to come help knock it down using their tractor and then scrap the copper, aluminum and then burned the wood from it and scrapped the steel frame after it was cut into pieces.

I paid the other guy $1,000.00 to help knock it down with his tractor and help clean it up and I made a little bit on the scrap but not much.

But I needed to get it removed so maybe try that route or just have the construction company who is coming to build your house maybe have them help knock it down with their tractor that they'll use to dig your foundation and then you can easily clean everything up or pay someone else a little bit of money to haul away the scrap from it if you're not interested in dealing with it yourself.

To get rid of the scrap mobile home try posting an advertisement on Craigslist and say that you're giving away a free mobile home to anyone willing to tear the mobile home apart for scrap and remove it completely from the lot.

Some scrapper may be willing to tear the mobile home apart just for the scrap metal it contains but some scrappers may want to charge something to remove it and tear the mobile home apart which is okay and if you really want the mobile home gone fast you may have to pay something to them.

Check scrapmetalforum.com as well and post a thread over there asking if someone is willing to come remove the scrap mobile home for you.
