DrouCo has been serving Amherst, NH families for over 50 years, and swing set demolition is one of the calls we get most often here. Amherst's village green and the surrounding colonials require a careful touch — many of these homes have been in families for decades, and cleanouts often involve estate work or downsizing. We move quickly without leaving a mark on lawns or landscaping. Whether you're in the Village or out past Baboosic Lake area, we know the route — and we've been doing this work for three generations.
Demolition-style removal for swing sets that are too rotted, rusted, or oversized for clean disassembly. We bring power tools, cut the frame down, dig or saw out the footings, and haul everything away. Yard is left clear and rakeable.

Why Amherst calls us
Three generations, one phone number
DrouCo Waste Removal has been a family-run waste removal business in southern New Hampshire for over 50 years — three generations of the same family showing up, working hard, and treating every job like the customer is our neighbor (because usually, they are). That's not a marketing line — it's how we've stayed in business this long.
I needed an old queen sized box spring and mattress removed from my basement. Called DrouCo Waste Removal and they came out at my convenience. Jake kept me informed via text on the time of his arrival. Extremely reasonable pricing from a company who cares about his community. Great company. Hard-working owner!

FAQ
Questions Amherst homeowners ask
What's the difference between swing set removal and demolition?
Removal is disassembly — we take it apart at the bolts and joints. Demolition is for sets that are too far gone to disassemble cleanly — we cut and pull them apart instead. Demo costs slightly more but it's usually the right call for older sets.
Do you take care of the concrete footings during a demo?
Yes — either dug out and removed, or sawed off at grade and capped. Your call.
How long does a demo job take in Amherst?
Most Amherst swing set demolitions are half-day jobs from arrival to clean exit.
What about playhouses and tree forts?
Same crew, same process. We'll demo backyard playhouses and forts that are too far gone for normal removal.
Will my lawn be damaged?
Minimal impact. We use plywood pads under heavy gear and avoid driving over soft ground.
