Salvage vs tear down and haul off?

Scott Braden
Posted

Hi folks,

Bought a parcel with an ancient singlewide, with added on corrugated metal roof for extended living area. I want it gone. Have quotes for demo / remove, over $10k.

My question: it seems to me there is salvageable value in some of the lumber, metal roofing, even the old MH. Are there people / companies that will come and take that?

Or am I stuck with paying to have it demo'd and hauled off?

Location - Dallas / TX area

thanks
Scott

Would it survive being moved? Free cycle, Craigslist and neighborhood sites and such used to get takers for anything free, even junk. I swear somebody would come take a pile of leaves, if it was free. 

Ps. You used to be able to have the local firefighters practice on such properties although that practice has been curtailed lately.
