San Diego Trampoline Removal, Same Week
From a full-size backyard trampoline to the mini bouncer the toddler outgrew, we break it down and haul it off.
Trampoline Removal in San Diego
The kids stopped jumping on it years ago, but the trampoline never left — the frame's still out there rusting against the fence, net half torn, taking up a third of the yard. We break it down piece by piece and haul every part out, whether it's still standing or already collapsed.
- Homeowners retiring a trampoline the kids have outgrown.
- Renters clearing the yard before a move-out inspection.
- Property managers clearing yard equipment a previous tenant left behind.
What We Take
We take
- Round and rectangular trampoline frames
- Mats, pads and springs
- Enclosure nets and poles
- Mini and kids' trampolines
- Rusted or partially collapsed frames
- Trampolines already broken down in pieces
We can't take
- Excavation of in-ground trampoline pits
- Hazardous materials like chemicals or propane
- Full exclusion list on our How It Works page
Standing frames usually get broken down before we haul them — springs and poles pack down a lot smaller than an assembled trampoline.
Same-Day and Next-Day Trampoline Removal in San Diego
Trampoline pickups depend more on teardown time than the drive, so a same-day slot is more likely if the frame's already broken down. Call early and tell us whether it's still standing or already in pieces — that's what decides how fast we can fit it in.
- Same day
- Best odds if it's already broken down into mat, frame and springs.
- Next day
- Typical when our crew needs to do the teardown on-site first.
- Booked ahead
- Good idea for a full-size trampoline with a large enclosure net.
What Trampoline Removal Costs
Trampoline pricing is mostly about teardown, not the drive to the dump. We break the frame down into springs, poles and mat before it goes in the truck, and the steel parts get routed toward scrap recycling instead of a straight landfill run. A big backyard trampoline with a full enclosure takes longer to break down than a smaller one.
Assembly and disassembly
A trampoline still bolted together takes real time to break down into mat, frame and springs before it fits in the truck.
Size and frame material
A 14-foot backyard trampoline is a much bigger load than a mini bouncer.
What happens after
Steel frames and springs usually go to metal recycling rather than the landfill.
A trampoline frame's weight would normally add to a landfill tipping fee, but since the steel parts go toward scrap recycling instead, that cost doesn't carry through to your price the way it would on a landfill-bound load.
Trampoline Removal vs San Diego's Own Bulky Item Pickup
A trampoline isn't hazardous waste, so Get It Done's free bulky pickup technically covers it — but a full-size frame with an enclosure can eat most or all of the six-item cap by itself, and the city crew won't break it down for you.
| Factor | Trampoline Removal with us | The city program |
|---|---|---|
| Item cap | One trampoline, any size, one trip | Can use up most of the 6-item cap alone |
| Teardown | Our crew disassembles it on-site if it's still standing | Must already be broken down and curb-ready |
| How often | Any week | Twice a year per household |
| Lead time | Often same-week | Scheduled appointment through Get It Done |
If the trampoline's already broken down and you've got item slots left, the free pickup can work — we're the better fit when it's still standing or you'd rather not spend a Saturday taking it apart.
Where Your Load Goes After Pickup in San Diego
There's no dedicated trampoline recycling program the way there is for tires or paint — once it's broken down, the frame and springs go into the same scrap metal stream as any other steel we haul. The mat, pads and netting aren't recyclable, so they're sorted out and go with the regular load instead.
Steel frame and springs
Routed to a scrap metal recycler along with other metal we collect.
Mat, pads and netting
Not recyclable — sorted out and handled as regular waste.
Trampoline Removal for Apartments, Condos and HOAs
Single-family backyard
The most common setup — plenty of room for our crew to break it down on-site.
Gated HOA or shared yard
Send a gate code or note any HOA rules about equipment removal.
Rental property turnover
Common before a move-out inspection — let us know the deadline and we'll work around it.
Most trampoline pickups are backyard jobs, so the main thing we need ahead of time is gate or side-yard access for the crew.
How to Book

We text back a price for the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the frame need to be broken down before you arrive?
No — that's on us either way. If it's already collapsed in pieces, we load it up faster; if it's still standing, our crew takes it apart on-site before anything goes in the truck.
What happens to the trampoline after you take it?
The steel frame and springs usually go to a scrap metal recycler. The mat and netting aren't recyclable and go out with the regular load.
Is there a free city pickup option for a trampoline?
Get It Done, the city's free twice-a-year bulky pickup, tops out at six items — a full-size trampoline alone can eat into that limit fast. We're the scheduled, no-cap alternative.
Do you take in-ground trampolines too?
We take the trampoline itself, but digging out an in-ground pit is outside what we do — that's more of a demolition job.
Do you take trampolines with damaged or rusted frames?
Yes — rusted or partially collapsed frames are still fine, they just might take a little longer to break down safely.
Will you clear a trampoline before a move-out inspection in San Diego?
Yes, we book those regularly — just give us your inspection date and we'll get you a slot before it.
