Red Barn Junk Removal of Quakertown hauls away old boats and their trailers across Quakertown and Upper Bucks County — together, on the same trip, no separate calls needed. If you’ve been wondering whether anyone actually takes on a job like that, the answer is yes. We’re PA Contractor #PA112494, based at 127 S 5th St in Quakertown, with 10+ years and 1,000+ completed jobs behind us and 2–3 trucks running daily — the same crews that pull concrete, pianos, and heating-oil tanks out of Upper Bucks properties every week.
A dead boat sitting on a rusted trailer in the side yard is exactly the kind of oversized, awkward load most junk-removal outfits quietly turn down. We don’t. Call (215) 607-8804 and we’ll set up a free, no-obligation on-site estimate — no guessing over the phone, no surprise number once the crew shows up.
Boat, Trailer & Heavy-Item Removal We Handle
Most junk haulers stop at furniture and appliances and hand you a list of exclusions for anything bigger. We run the same trucks on boats, trailers, oil tanks and concrete — heavy, awkward material is the part of this business we built our name on, not the part we avoid.
Old boat removal (fiberglass and aluminum hulls)
We haul away non-running, damaged, or simply unwanted boats — fiberglass runabouts, aluminum jon boats, and anything in between. The crew handles the lifting and drag-out from a driveway, side yard, or storage lot. You get a firm price agreed at your property before anything gets loaded, whether the hull is 14 feet or 30.
Boat trailer removal and disposal
The trailer underneath the boat is its own job — rusted frame, seized axle, flat or missing tires, a hitch nobody’s used in years. We remove trailers on their own or paired with the boat, and the steel frame and axle go on to scrap metal recovery instead of sitting in your yard another season.
Boat and trailer removed together in one visit
If you’ve got both a boat and its trailer to clear, we quote it as one job and haul it in one trip — not two separate pickups on two separate days. With 2–3 trucks running, a combined boat-and-trailer load is a normal Tuesday, not a special case that needs three phone calls to arrange.
Jet ski, PWC and small watercraft removal
Jet skis, personal watercraft, and small utility trailers are lighter than a full boat but still awkward to move alone. We take fuel-empty units — any remaining gasoline or motor oil needs to be drained first, since transfer stations won’t accept liquid fuel or oil in any load we bring in.
Scrap metal and appliance metal removal
A boat trailer, an old grill, a broken appliance — the metal in all of it has value, and we sort it accordingly. Ferrous and non-ferrous scrap gets pulled out and routed to metal recyclers rather than a landfill, which is standard practice on every trailer and appliance haul we run.
Heating-oil tank, boiler and radiator removal
Upper Bucks is oil-heat country, and old tanks, boilers, and cast-iron radiators are common in the same farmhouses and properties where a boat’s been parked for years. We drain and remove tanks most haulers refuse outright — it’s the same “we take the heavy stuff” approach that makes a boat-and-trailer job routine for us.
Concrete, brick and construction debris removal
Concrete, brick, and dirt carry a published heavy-material surcharge of $100–150 per load, because landfills bill us by weight, not by volume. We say that up front, on the phone, before you book — the same way we tell you what a boat or trailer will run, so nothing changes once the truck is in the driveway.
Piano removal (upright and grand)
Pianos are another item that stops most crews cold — narrow stairwells, tight turns, and hundreds of pounds that can’t be dragged. We move uprights and grands out of cellars, apartments, and tight row-home staircases, which is the same skill set that gets a boat off a trailer and onto our truck without damaging the property.
Hot tub, shed, playset and above-ground pool removal
Hot tubs, sheds, playsets, and above-ground pools sit in the same category as a boat — big, bulky, and often requiring some breakdown before they’ll fit on a truck. We handle the light disassembly on site and haul the debris away on the same visit, no separate trip for cleanup.
Farm, property and equipment cleanups
Old farm equipment, fencing, tires, and scrap machinery pile up on Upper Bucks properties the same way a boat does — parked, forgotten, and eventually in the way. We clear bank barns, equipment sheds, and open acreage as part of the same property visit, whether the boat is the only item or one of dozens.
Light demolition (sheds, decks, interior tear-outs)
Non-structural demolition — old sheds, decks, interior tear-outs — is quoted per job, and the debris leaves on the same truck. We stay out of load-bearing work, live utilities, and untested pre-1980 material, so the scope is clean and the cleanup is one vendor instead of two.
Whole-property, estate and hoarding cleanouts
Sometimes the boat is one item among many — a garage, a barn, and a house that all need clearing at once. With 2–3 trucks and a record of quoting 8–9 full loads on a single property, we’ve handled full house, estate cleanout services, hoarding, and rental-turnover jobs where a boat trailer is just one line on a much longer list.

Call (215) 607-8804Pricing for Boat & Trailer Removal
Boat and trailer jobs are priced by truck space, the same as every load we run — not a flat fee that ignores size and access. A photo estimate gives you a range; the crew confirms the exact number on arrival, before loading starts. Think of it as the dumpster rental alternative for the items a dumpster was never built to hold.
| Load Size | List Price | Typical Fit |
|---|---|---|
| 1/8 Load (minimum) | Quoted on the call | Jet ski or small trailer alone |
| 1/4 – 3/4 Load | Quoted on the call | Mid-size boat or a trailer by itself |
| Full Load | $695 | Boat and trailer together, most sizes |
| Extra-Large / Big Truck | ~$899 | Larger boats or multiple heavy items |
| Heavy-material surcharge | +$100–150 per load | Concrete, brick or dirt mixed into a load |
Ask about senior pricing when you call — it’s applied case by case, not a discount built into the numbers above.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you actually take old boats and trailers?
Yes. We haul boats, trailers, or both together, on the same trucks we use for concrete, pianos, and oil tanks. If you’ve been hesitant to ask, this is the answer — get in touch for a free on-site estimate.
Can you remove the boat and the trailer in the same visit?
Yes. It’s quoted as one job and hauled in one trip. With 2–3 trucks running, we don’t need to split a boat-and-trailer job into separate pickups.
How much does boat and trailer removal cost in Quakertown?
It’s priced by truck space and depends on the size and access of the boat and trailer. We give you a firm price at your property before anything loads — a full load runs $695 as a reference point, and the estimate is always free.
Do I need to drain fuel or remove the registration first?
Please remove personal items and drain any remaining gasoline or motor oil, since transfer stations won’t accept liquid fuel or oil in any load. Title and plate requirements can vary by item — ask when you call and we’ll confirm what’s needed before pickup.
What if I call after hours?
Phones are answered 24/7. Outside crew hours, a digital assistant takes your details and books your free on-site estimate, so you’re still on the next day’s schedule instead of waiting for a callback.
Do you charge a travel fee to come to me?
There’s no travel fee within 15 miles of Quakertown. Beyond that — Reading, Berks County, or Central Bucks — we quote a $75–99 travel fee on the call, before you book.
What can’t you take?
We don’t take asbestos, motor or cooking oil, fuel, propane, chemicals, paint, or medical waste. If a boat still has fuel or oil aboard, that needs to be drained first. See our full breakdown of trash removal Quakertown rules for more on what’s excluded.
