Thinking about getting rid of your mobile home, trailer, RV, or boat? Recycle it at GreenWaste.

We can recycle a mobile home from the roof to the tires. We pull out recyclable commodities such as wood and metals—in under 30 minutes. If the trailer is made of mostly wood, it can be recycled even faster.

All mobile homes, trailers, RVs, and boats must come with proof of ownership and DMV paperwork.

There are extra charges for tires, and mobile homes that have refrigerators, air conditioners, or other freon-containing items. Please make sure your motor does not contain any liquid, including fuel, gas, or water.
