OK, disposing of travel trailer

[stan_v]

in our deer camp. What is the procedure to scrap a travel trailer? I think it'll roll down the road, but I'm not sure.

Around where I live, there are some junk yards that will give you $100 and haul away your broken down car. They use the old thing for recycling parts. Some body shops around here (at least they use to) and definately, back-yard do-it-yourselfers use these "salvage" yards for parts. Some are designed so you go out to the vehicle, take the part off a junked car, and then pay at the desk for your part, usually very cheap. So, they do make their $100 back pretty easy.

I've seen a couple not "that" far from where I live that have some old trashed out campers and Truck Campers in their stock pile. Perhaps you have such a "salvage" yard in your area that will give you something and haul the old trailer away for you.

Yes, I would check with the local landfill and see if they will take it and what the cost would be

I hauled an old 26' cabin cruiser to the dump. I wanted to keep the trailer for another boat. The dump folks hooked on to the back of the boat with chains, pulled it off the trailer, then crushed it by driving the big earth mover over the boat. It just exploded! The driver said to keep bringing the old boats in, he enjoys running over them.

Everybody, awesome!

Try your local FreeCycle if you're giving it away - someone will be interested for whatever reason.

Auto scrap yard? We have a place near us that takes junk RV's cars & Tractors and strips them down. They use the metal to make Rebar.

My dad needed to fill a big gully in his property, he pushed all kinds of stuff down in it including an old TT. Then had a D-9 come in and cover it all with 20 feet deep of dirt.

Now it's a parking lot.

Looks like everyone has as much experience in this as I do! If I can get it on the road I can haul it to it's final destination. I just need to know what the final destination of a travel trailer is....

I wondered about scraping...I'll pass along the Craigslist suggestion.

Thank y'all

x2. Someone would scrap it out (separate the valuable/recyclable from the garbage).

If you're getting rid of it, why would you care? Just asking!

Considering that, but where would they haul it?

Call a tow truck and have it hauled away?
