Playset Removal in St. Petersburg, FL

Playset removal dismantles and hauls off wooden swing sets, metal frames and plastic climbers, typically taking 90 minutes to seven hours depending on how the structure was anchored. A cedar set can run past 900 pounds and posts are often sunk three feet into concrete, so footings and ground anchors come out as part of the job. Charges are $50 for each cubic yard filled, with a $150 minimum, set in writing before work begins and not revised afterward. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal serves St. Petersburg and the surrounding Pinellas County area.

Playset Removal and Disposal in St. Petersburg and Pinellas County

How the set was anchored decides the day. Bolted to a deck or standing on plastic feet, it is quick; posts set in concrete mean digging out the footings, and that is the part that turns a ninety-minute job into most of an afternoon. Cedar and treated lumber go to disposal, and metal frames are separated for recycling. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal handles it end to end.

Full-Service Playset Removal and Swing Set Teardown

A backyard playset that once held a rope ladder, two swings and a plastic slide eventually turns into the largest, heaviest and most awkward object on the property. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal takes the whole job off your plate: we disassemble the structure, pull the anchors and footings, load every board and bracket, and haul it all away, then rake the footprint so you can see what you are working with. You do not need to rent a truck, buy a reciprocating saw, or figure out where a 14-foot swing beam is legally allowed to go.

We work throughout St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Tampa and the rest of Pinellas County. Most residential playsets come down in a single visit. Call 727-240-7033 for a free, no-obligation quote, or see our pricing page for how we build an estimate.

What We Mean by a Playset

People use a dozen different names for the same structure. If it lives in the yard and children climb on it, we remove it:

  • Wooden swing sets and play forts – cedar, redwood or pressure-treated pine, usually with a raised deck, roof, slide and swing beam
  • Metal swing sets – galvanized or powder-coated tube frames, often set in concrete footings
  • Molded plastic play structures – the one-piece and snap-together toddler climbers and slides
  • Playhouses, forts, treehouses and clubhouses, including elevated platforms attached to trees
  • Monkey bars, climbing domes, jungle gyms and geodesic climbers
  • Sandboxes, including the sand, timbers and weed barrier underneath
  • Above-ground slides, spring riders, seesaws and glider swings
  • Basketball goals – see our dedicated basketball goal removal service
  • Trampolines – covered on our trampoline removal page
  • Commercial and church playgrounds, daycare play areas and HOA common-area equipment

If a shed, fence section or deck is coming out at the same time, we can bundle it. See shed removal, fence removal and deck demolition.

Why Homeowners Finally Pull the Trigger

The reasons are remarkably consistent across the Tampa Bay area:

  • The kids outgrew it. The average residential wooden playset gets used hard for roughly six to eight years, then becomes lawn furniture nobody sits on.
  • It is rotting. Florida humidity, afternoon thunderstorms and salt air are brutal on outdoor lumber. Ground-contact posts fail from the bottom up, and the damage is usually invisible until someone leans on a rail.
  • You are selling the house. Buyers frequently see a tired playset as a liability and a removal cost, not a feature.
  • Insurance or the HOA asked. Some carriers treat unmaintained play equipment as an attractive nuisance.
  • Storm damage. After a named storm, half-collapsed swing sets and scattered play equipment are some of the most common calls we get. We also handle hurricane debris removal.
  • You want the yard back for a pool, a patio, a garden or simply grass.

What Makes Playsets Harder Than They Look

Homeowners routinely underestimate this job, and the reasons are structural rather than emotional. A mid-size wooden playset contains 400 to 900 pounds of lumber, several hundred fasteners, and posts that are frequently set 18 to 36 inches deep in concrete. The hardware is a mix of lag bolts, carriage bolts, timber screws and proprietary brackets, most of which have been sitting outdoors in Florida for a decade. Rust welds them in place. Wood swells around them. The slide and roof panels are UV-brittle and shatter instead of flexing.

Then there is the disposal problem. A dismantled playset does not fit in a residential garbage cart, and most curbside programs will not take construction-style lumber in bulk. That is where a full-service junk removal crew or a dumpster rental saves you several weekends.

How Our Playset Removal Process Works

Every job follows the same sequence, whether it is a toddler climber or a two-tower fort with a monkey bar run.

1. Free On-Site or Photo Estimate

Text or email photos of the playset from two or three angles, plus one wide shot showing the path from the structure to the driveway. That gate width and side-yard path matter more than you would think. We give you a firm, all-inclusive price that covers labor, disassembly, loading, hauling and disposal fees. There is no charge for the estimate and no obligation.

2. Site Walk and Utility Awareness

Before anything comes apart we look for the things that cause expensive surprises: irrigation lines and sprinkler heads running under the play area, low-voltage landscape lighting, septic drain fields, buried invisible-fence wire, and any utility line near the footings. If digging around a footing could reach a buried utility, Florida law requires an 811 locate before excavation. Call 811 or contact Sunshine 811, the state notification system, at least two full business days before any digging you are planning yourself.

3. Strip the Accessories

Swings, chains, trapeze bars, climbing ropes, steering wheels, telescopes, tarps, canopies and the plastic slide come off first. These are the pieces most likely to be reusable or donatable, so we set them aside rather than throwing them straight in the truck.

4. Controlled Disassembly, Top Down

We take the structure apart in the reverse order it was built: roof, then deck rails, then deck, then the swing beam, then the A-frame legs, then the posts. Taking a playset down from the top keeps the frame stable and stops the whole thing from folding sideways with a crew member underneath it. Where hardware is rusted solid, we cut rather than fight it, which is faster and safer than hammering on a corroded lag bolt three feet off the ground.

5. Anchors, Augers and Concrete Footings

This is the step homeowners skip and later regret. Playsets in Florida are typically secured one of three ways:

  • Ground anchors or auger stakes screwed into the soil – quick to remove, but they leave a metal spike hazard if snapped off at grade
  • Concrete footings poured around the post, commonly 8 to 12 inches in diameter and 18 to 36 inches deep
  • Surface plates bolted to a paver pad or slab

We remove anchors completely and dig out concrete footings so nothing is left to hit with a mower blade or a shovel later. If you have a large slab or an oversized pour under the structure, that is a concrete removal job and we will price it as part of the same visit.

6. Sweep the Footprint

Loose fasteners are the number one complaint after a DIY teardown. A single 3-inch timber screw in the grass will find a bare foot, a dog paw or a lawn mower tire. We rake and sweep the area, pick up hardware, and pull the weed barrier fabric that is almost always buried under the mulch or sand.

7. Load, Haul and Sort

Everything goes on the truck: lumber, plastic, metal, fasteners, mulch, sand, rubber tiles. Back at the yard we separate clean scrap steel and aluminum for our scrap metal removal stream, set aside genuinely reusable parts, and send the remainder to the correct disposal facility.

8. Optional Ground Repair Prep

We can leave the area raked flat and ready for sod, fill dirt or a patio. We do not pour concrete, lay sod or install pavers, but we will tell you honestly how much fill you are likely to need where the footings came out.

How Long It Takes

  • Small plastic or toddler climber: 20 to 45 minutes
  • Basic metal A-frame swing set: 45 to 90 minutes, longer if the legs are in concrete
  • Mid-size wooden playset with one tower: 2 to 4 hours
  • Large two-tower fort with monkey bars, ramps and a rock wall: 4 to 7 hours, occasionally a second visit
  • Commercial or church playground with poured-in-place surfacing: scheduled as a project, not a same-day call

Pressure-Treated Wood, CCA and Why Playset Lumber Needs Special Handling

This is the part of playset removal almost nobody talks about, and it is the reason we will not simply throw your old swing set on a burn pile.

What CCA Is and Which Playsets Have It

For decades, outdoor lumber was protected with chromated arsenicals, most commonly chromated copper arsenate (CCA) – a wood preservative pesticide containing chromium, copper and arsenic that guards wood against termites and fungi. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that prior to 2004, wood treated with chromated arsenicals was used in residential structures such as decks and playsets, and that in December 2003 manufacturers voluntarily discontinued producing chromated arsenicals-treated wood for homeowner uses. Source: EPA, Chromated Arsenicals (CCA).

The practical translation for a St. Petersburg homeowner: if your wooden playset was built or bought before roughly 2004, assume the lumber may be CCA-treated. The tell-tale signs are a faint greenish tint in weathered wood and small incision marks in rows along the posts.

What the EPA Actually Says About Handling It

The EPA does not tell homeowners to panic. It says plainly that it does not require the removal of existing structures made with chromated arsenicals-treated wood or the surrounding soil. What it does give is clear handling guidance:

  • Do not burn CCA or other preservative-treated wood in a residential setting, to avoid inhaling toxic chemicals in the smoke and ash
  • Wear goggles and a dust mask when sawing treated wood, and wash your hands after handling it
  • Do not reuse treated wood in products such as mulch
  • For households, treated wood can usually be disposed of by ordinary trash collection as municipal solid waste, though state and local governments may have specific requirements, so check your local waste program
  • For non-household generators, it is the responsibility of the person generating the treated-wood waste to make a hazardous waste determination under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)

That last bullet is why commercial, daycare, HOA and church playground removals are handled differently from a backyard swing set. If you are removing play equipment from a business or institution, you are a non-household generator and the waste determination is a real obligation, not a formality.

What This Means for Your Job

  • We never burn playset lumber, and we ask that you do not either
  • We do not chip treated lumber into mulch or resell it as garden border, planter boxes or raised-bed material
  • We cut rather than sand or grind treated wood on site, which keeps airborne dust down
  • We bag and remove the sawdust and small offcuts instead of raking them into the lawn
  • Treated lumber is delivered to a permitted disposal facility, not left on a curb or dumped

If you are keeping some of the lumber, the EPA notes that applying a penetrating protective coating such as an oil-based or water-based stain on a regular basis may reduce leaching from older treated structures. Reuse of chromated arsenicals-treated wood is not regulated by EPA under pesticide laws, but the no-mulch and no-burn guidance still applies.

Newer Playsets Are Not Automatically Untreated

Post-2004 residential lumber generally uses copper-based preservatives such as ACQ (alkaline copper quaternary) or copper azole instead of arsenic. These are considered lower risk for consumer use, but they are still preservative-treated wood: do not burn them, do not turn them into mulch, and do not use offcuts for a vegetable garden bed. Cedar and redwood playsets are naturally rot-resistant and untreated, which makes them the easiest to reuse – and the fastest to rot in Florida if they were never sealed.

The Other Materials in a Playset

  • Steel and aluminum – swing beams, A-frame legs, chains, brackets and monkey bars are recyclable scrap and we separate them
  • HDPE and polyethylene slides and roofs – rigid plastic, usually UV-degraded past the point of reuse
  • Rubber mulch and poured-in-place surfacing – heavy, dense, and frequently the single biggest volume on a commercial job
  • Play sand – deceptively heavy; a modest sandbox can hold 800 to 1,600 pounds of sand
  • Engineered wood fiber – the loose surfacing under most playgrounds, which comes out with the equipment
  • Old tires used as swings or borders – handled separately from general debris because Florida regulates waste tires distinctly

Safety, CPSC Guidance and When a Playset Should Come Down

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission publishes the Public Playground Safety Handbook, the reference document that playground designers, schools and parks departments in Florida design to. It is written for public playgrounds, but the hazard categories apply just as well to the fort in your backyard.

Hazards That Mean Removal, Not Repair

  • Head entrapment. CPSC guidance treats openings that a child can enter head-first or feet-first as entrapment hazards when they are larger than 3.5 inches and smaller than 9 inches. Warped decks, broken rails and homemade repairs create these gaps constantly.
  • Protrusions and entanglement. Exposed bolt ends, S-hooks that have opened up, and broken hardware can catch clothing or a drawstring.
  • Inadequate use zones. CPSC recommends a clear use zone extending at least 6 feet in all directions from stationary play equipment, with a larger zone in front of and behind swings. Yards get landscaped, fences get moved, and that zone quietly disappears.
  • Hard surfacing. Equipment over concrete, asphalt or packed dirt is a fall hazard. Loose-fill surfacing compacts and washes out over years of Florida rain.
  • Structural rot. Ground-contact posts fail from the inside. If a screwdriver sinks into a post at grade level, the structure is done.
  • Rusted-through metal. Tube frames rust from the inside out near the ground line, especially within a few miles of the Gulf.
  • Recalled equipment. If your model was subject to a recall and the remedy was never performed, removal is the safe answer. You can check current and past actions at CPSC Recalls.

Why DIY Playset Teardowns Go Wrong

We are not going to pretend this is impossible to do yourself. Plenty of people do. But here is what we see when a job gets abandoned halfway and we get called in:

  • The structure collapsed early. Removing the deck or the swing beam before the legs are braced turns a rigid box into a hinge.
  • The hardware was seized. Ten years of Florida humidity fuses lag bolts. Sockets round off. Progress stops.
  • The footings were a surprise. People plan for four posts and find six concrete plugs, each weighing 60 to 150 pounds.
  • Nowhere to put it. A dismantled playset is a pile roughly the size of a compact car, and it sits in the yard for weeks.
  • Injuries. Falling lumber, brittle plastic that shatters, protruding fasteners and splinters from treated wood are the common ones.

If you do tackle it yourself, wear eye protection, cut-resistant gloves and a dust mask, never work alone, brace the frame before removing structural members, and keep children and pets well outside the work area. Then call us for the haul-away portion. We are happy to do a curbside junk pickup on a pile you have already made.

What to Do With the Empty Space

Once the playset is gone you are usually left with a rectangle of dead grass, compacted soil, a ring of mulch or sand, and a few holes where footings came out. Common next steps our customers take:

  • Fill and sod. Budget for more fill dirt than you expect; footing holes settle.
  • Paver patio or fire pit. The area is already cleared and often already level.
  • Raised garden beds – built from new, untreated or naturally rot-resistant lumber, never from the old playset timbers.
  • Putting green, dog run or storage shed pad.
  • Just grass. The most common answer, and the cheapest.

If the yard cleanup is bigger than the playset itself, look at yard debris removal and construction debris removal.

Donating Instead of Disposing

We would rather see a good playset get a second life than a second landfill. A structure is a realistic donation candidate when all of the following are true: the wood is sound with no soft spots at grade, the hardware is intact and not badly rusted, the slide and roof are not cracked or chalky, you have the model information, and the receiving family can arrange transport. Be aware that most charities will not accept play equipment because of liability and because they cannot disassemble or transport it. If the playset is pre-2004 treated lumber, disclose that to whoever takes it. When donation is not realistic, responsible disposal is the right call, and that is what we do.

Where Your Old Playset Actually Ends Up in Pinellas County

Plenty of haulers say they recycle. Here is the honest, specific version of what happens to a swing set once it leaves your driveway.

The Pinellas County Solid Waste Disposal Complex

Garbage generated and collected in Pinellas County goes to the Pinellas County Solid Waste Disposal Complex, which includes a Waste-to-Energy facility and the Bridgeway Acres Landfill. The complex is located at 3095 114th Ave. N., St. Petersburg, FL 33716, and the Solid Waste department can be reached at (727) 464-7500. The disposal complex and scalehouse are open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and are closed Sundays. Holiday hours differ. Details: Pinellas County Solid Waste Department.

Pinellas County notes that Florida has 10 waste-to-energy facilities, and that the Tampa Bay area is home to four of them, located in Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, the City of Tampa and Pasco County. The county also cites the EPA figure that 75 facilities in the United States recover energy from the combustion of garbage. More on how it works: Pinellas County Waste-to-Energy Facility.

How We Sort a Playset

  • Ferrous and non-ferrous metal – swing beams, A-frame legs, chains, S-hooks, brackets, monkey bars and anchor stakes are pulled for scrap metal recycling
  • Untreated cedar, redwood and clean dimensional lumber – evaluated for reuse first, then routed to the appropriate wood waste stream
  • Preservative-treated lumber – delivered to a permitted disposal facility, never burned, never chipped into mulch
  • Rigid plastics – slides, roofs, panels and climbing holds
  • Sand, rubber mulch and engineered wood fiber – weighed and disposed of as bulk material, which is why volume matters on the estimate
  • Concrete footings – separated as clean concrete where volume justifies it
  • Genuinely reusable accessories – swings, ropes, steering wheels and unbroken slides get offered for reuse before anything else

If your project also produces household chemicals, paint, batteries, fluorescent lamps or electronics, those do not belong in a junk truck or a dumpster. Pinellas County runs a Household Hazardous Waste collection program for county residents. We will point you to it rather than take material we should not.

When You Should Not Hire Us

We would rather keep a customer for ten years than win one job. Skip the call if:

  • Your city bulk pickup will take it and you are not in a hurry. Several municipalities in Pinellas offer bulk or large-item collection to residential customers. Check with your own city first; if it is free and you can wait, use it.
  • The playset is genuinely in good shape and someone wants it. Sell it, give it away, or hand it to a neighbor. We will still remove it later if the pickup falls through, which it often does.
  • It is a small plastic toddler climber that two adults can carry to the curb and that fits your city size rules.
  • You already have a dumpster on site for a larger project. In that case just add the playset to it. We also do dumpster rentals if that is a better fit than a full-service haul.

What Drives the Price

We quote flat rates, not hourly guesses. The variables that move the number:

  • Total volume and weight – the single biggest factor, especially with sand, rubber mulch or concrete
  • Material mix – treated lumber, tires and bulk surfacing have different disposal costs than clean metal
  • Footing type and depth – anchor stakes are quick, deep concrete plugs are not
  • Access – gate width, side-yard length, stairs, slopes, soft ground and how far we carry to the truck
  • Obstacles – screened enclosures, pools, sprinkler systems, mature landscaping and fences that must be protected
  • Extra scope – a shed, deck, fence or hot tub coming out on the same trip
  • Timingsame-day junk removal when we can fit it in

Playset Removal Service Area

We remove playsets and swing sets across Pinellas County and into Tampa, including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas Park, Seminole, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar, St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena, Tierra Verde, Belleair and Indian Rocks Beach.

City pages: St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Seminole, Pinellas Park, Dunedin. Full list on our service area and Pinellas County pages.

Our Playset Removal Area: St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa and Beyond

Most of our playset removal calls come from St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa. We built the routes around those three, then filled in every other city in Pinellas County around them.

St. Petersburg, FL

St. Petersburg is home base, so playset removal here usually gets the tightest window — often same day. We work Old Northeast, Historic Kenwood, Snell Isle, Shore Acres, Crescent Lake, Jungle Terrace, the EDGE District and downtown. The old bungalow blocks come with narrow driveways, brick streets and alley-only access, so we send the truck that actually fits instead of blocking your neighbors in. Details on our St. Petersburg coverage.

Clearwater, FL

We are in Clearwater constantly. playset removal covers Downtown Cleveland Street, Skycrest, Del Oro Groves, Countryside, Northwood and the barrier island. The Memorial Causeway backs up badly in season, so we schedule beach jobs early in the morning instead of promising a window we would blow. More on our Clearwater junk removal coverage.

Tampa, FL

Tampa gets the same crews and the same equipment as our Pinellas work. playset removal covers Hyde Park, SoHo, Palma Ceia, Ybor City, V.M. Ybor, Old Seminole Heights, Sulphur Springs, Town & Country and Brandon. The historic districts have the same problem St. Pete does — brick streets, tight alleys, 1920s bungalows — and we bring the right truck for it. See the full Tampa service page.

The Rest of Pinellas County

Everywhere else in the county gets the same crews and the same pricing. That covers Largo, Pinellas Park, Seminole, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar, East Lake, Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena and Tierra Verde, along with every beach town from St. Pete Beach and Treasure Island up through Madeira Beach, Redington Beach, Redington Shores, North Redington Beach, Indian Shores, Indian Rocks Beach and Clearwater Beach. The Belleair municipalities — Belleair, Belleair Beach, Belleair Bluffs and Belleair Shore — are covered, and on the Hillsborough side so are Westchase and Gandy. The Pinellas County page lists it all.

Playset Removal Frequently Asked Questions

How much does playset removal cost in St. Petersburg?

Pricing depends on volume, weight, footing type and access, so we quote each job individually rather than posting a flat number that would be wrong for most yards. A small metal swing set is at the low end. A large two-tower wooden fort with concrete footings, rubber mulch and a sandbox is at the high end. Send photos or call 727-240-7033 and you will get a firm all-inclusive price that already includes labor, hauling and disposal fees.

Do you take the playset apart, or does it need to be disassembled first?

We do the entire disassembly. You do not need to remove a single bolt. If you have already started and stalled out, that is fine too – we will finish the teardown and haul the pile.

Do you remove the concrete footings and ground anchors?

Yes. We dig out concrete footings and pull auger stakes and ground anchors so nothing is left behind at grade to damage a mower or injure someone. Very large slabs or oversized pours are quoted as concrete removal in addition to the playset itself.

Is my old wooden playset dangerous to handle?

If it was built or purchased before 2004, assume the lumber may be CCA-treated. The EPA advises that you should not burn preservative-treated wood in a residential setting, should wear goggles and a dust mask when sawing it, should wash your hands after handling it, and should not reuse it in products such as mulch. EPA also states it does not require removal of existing treated structures or the surrounding soil.

Can I burn the old playset lumber in a fire pit?

No. The EPA specifically advises against burning CCA or other preservative-treated wood in a residential setting to avoid inhaling toxic chemicals in the smoke and ash. Even if the wood looks weathered and harmless, do not put it in a fire pit, chiminea or burn pile.

Can I reuse the boards for a garden bed or planter?

Not if the wood is preservative-treated. The EPA advises that chromated arsenicals-treated wood should not be reused in products such as mulch, and treated lumber is a poor choice around vegetables. Use new, untreated or naturally rot-resistant lumber for raised beds instead.

How long does it take to remove a swing set?

A small plastic climber takes 20 to 45 minutes. A basic metal A-frame swing set takes 45 to 90 minutes. A mid-size wooden playset usually runs 2 to 4 hours, and a large two-tower fort with monkey bars and a rock wall can take 4 to 7 hours. Commercial and church playgrounds are scheduled as projects.

Will you damage my grass, sprinklers or fence?

We walk the site before we start specifically to locate irrigation lines, sprinkler heads, landscape lighting, septic drain fields and invisible-fence wire, and we plan the carry path around them. Some turf compression where we walk and stage material is normal and it recovers. If digging near a buried utility is involved, an 811 locate should be requested before excavation.

Do you remove commercial, daycare, HOA and church playgrounds?

Yes, including poured-in-place rubber surfacing, engineered wood fiber and in-ground steel posts. Note that non-household generators are responsible for making a hazardous waste determination for treated-wood waste under RCRA, so commercial playground removals are scoped differently than a backyard swing set. We will walk the site and give you a written scope.

Do you also take the sandbox, mulch and rubber tiles?

Yes. Play sand, rubber mulch, engineered wood fiber, rubber tiles, weed barrier fabric and border timbers all come out with the equipment. Be aware that these are heavy – a modest sandbox can hold 800 to 1,600 pounds of sand – so tell us about them up front and the quote will be accurate.

What areas do you serve for playset removal?

We serve all of Pinellas County and reach into Tampa, including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas Park, Seminole, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar, St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena, Tierra Verde, Belleair and Indian Rocks Beach.

Can you remove the playset the same day I call?

Often, yes. Same-day and next-day playset removal is available when we have a truck and crew open, and small to mid-size jobs fit most easily. Call 727-240-7033 early in the day for the best chance at a same-day slot.

Is playset removal available in Tampa or only in Pinellas County?

Both. Tampa gets the same crews, trucks and pricing structure as our Pinellas work. We book playset removal in Downtown Tampa, Water Street, Harbour Island, Davis Islands, Bayshore, Beach Park, Old Seminole Heights, Tampa Heights, Town & Country and Brandon. Because Tampa sits in Hillsborough County, disposal runs through Hillsborough facilities, so we quote Tampa jobs with that tipping cost included rather than surprising you later.

Do you cover Clearwater Beach and the condo towers for playset removal?

Yes, and we do it constantly. Clearwater Beach, Sand Key and Island Estates buildings almost always require an elevator reservation, a certificate of insurance naming the association, and a set haul window. We carry current insurance and file the COI before the truck leaves. Mainland Clearwater — Countryside, Northwood, Del Oro Groves, Downtown Cleveland Street — is simpler and usually books faster.

What other Pinellas County cities do you cover?

Effectively all of them. Mid-county we run Largo, Pinellas Park and Seminole. North county is Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar and East Lake. The barrier islands run St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Redington Beach, Redington Shores, North Redington Beach, Indian Shores, Indian Rocks Beach and Clearwater Beach. Smaller municipalities like Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena, Tierra Verde and the four Belleair towns are covered too.
