Above-Ground Pool Removal in Salem & the North Shore

We take the pool frame apart once it's drained

We take the whole pool down and haul it away on one visit: the liner gets cut out and rolled, the top rails and the uprights come off, the wall gets unrolled and cut down to truck length, and the frame leaves in pieces. You don't need to take a single rail off before we get there. The one thing we need from you is an empty pool. We don't pump or drain it, so have the water out ahead of the visit, either yourself or through whoever closes the pool for you.

Let The Heroes Save Your Day

The other thing to sort out ahead of us is the equipment pad. The pump, the filter and any heater wiring have to be disconnected by an electrician before we touch it, because we do not do electrical or plumbing disconnects, and that is a line we do not cross. Once it is disconnected the equipment goes out with the load. The metal comes out of the load on the way: the steel or aluminum wall, the top rails and the uprights are all scrap, and scrap goes to Turner Inc in Lynn rather than the transfer station. The liner and the foam go with the rest of the load. What is usually left when the frame is gone is the sand base, and under the legs sometimes patio blocks or pavers, so tell us about those when you ask for a quote and the number will already have them in it.

About Us, Our Story

The Junk Heroes is a brother-owned and operated junk removal company proudly rooted in Salem, MA. We live right on the line between Salem and Swampscott, two minutes from Vinnin Square, and we started this business because we saw a need for a junk removal service that actually showed up on time, treated customers like neighbors, and charged honest prices.

From our very first haul, we've been driven by one simple belief: every job deserves white glove care, whether it's a single couch or a full estate cleanout. That commitment has earned us 300+ five-star reviews from families and businesses throughout Salem, Swampscott, Beverly, Lynn, Marblehead, and beyond.

When you call The Junk Heroes, you're not calling a franchise, you're calling a company two brothers built from the ground up and still run, with a crew of friends who haul alongside them, and we personally stand behind every job we do.

We do this by the book. We carry $2M in general liability, a $1M umbrella policy and $1M in commercial auto coverage. We are USDOT registered (USDOT 8843043), our drivers hold DOT medical cards, and we hold commercial accounts at the disposal facilities we use, so every load ends up where it is supposed to. Call or text in English or Portuguese.

How Much Will This Cost?

Pricing is based on the volume and type of items. We always provide a free, upfront quote before any work begins, no surprises, ever.

• $120 minimum pickup
• $80 to $100 per cubic yard
• About $70 a yard when it is light and easy to reach

For a very small job close to our Salem base we can sometimes come down to $80 to $100, so it is worth asking. See the full pricing page.

Emptying it is your part of this job, and where that water is allowed to go is the same question a hot tub raises. I wrote up what the state and the towns say about draining a spa or a pool.
