Concrete-set posts double removal time. Get a dumpster for runs over 100 ft.
Multiplies length by typical labor per LF for the chosen material, then adds a flat dump / disposal fee.
Total = LF × labor $/LF + dump fee
About $750: roughly $4 per linear foot in labor ($600) plus around $150 in dump or haul-away fees. Posts set in concrete sit at the top of the $3–$6 range because every footing has to be dug or broken out.
Yes. Panels and pickets come off with a pry bar and a reciprocating saw; the work is in the posts. A post puller or a jack and chain lifts concrete footings out whole. Budget a trailer or dumpster rental and your local landfill fee.
Often not — ask. Many installers list tear-out and disposal as a separate line of $3–$6 per foot, and some will reuse sound post holes only if the new layout matches the old one.
$3–$6 per linear foot for labor plus $100–$300 for disposal, depending on material and post setting.
No — new posts won't fit and you'll pay more on the new install. Dig them out now.
