How to Get Rid of Your Old Basketball Goal
For many basketball lovers, having a basketball hoop in their backyard can be a dream come true! Walking out your front door to play basketball whenever you like is amazing.
However, if you’re no longer using the basketball hoop, then it’s simply taking up space and can become a real eyesore. Even worse, it can become dangerous. When it blocks your driveway, front yard or the cul-de-sac, it can lead to accidents or wrecks.
At the end of the day, if no one is using your basketball hoop, then it may be time to remove it. But the first step is figuring out how to get rid of your old basketball goal.
How to Take Down a Basketball Hoop
When you begin the disassembly process, it is best to begin from the top for both safety and ease of use. Always remove all other parts, before attempting to remove the pole.
Remove the net.
Loosen all nuts and bolts that hold up the board.
Remove the board from the pole.
🏀 Pro Tip: Beware of rust and mold! Portable basketball hoops don’t age well. The poles can rust, the net will get worn and torn and the sand or water bottom can get moldy.
Is your goal portable or fixed?
A fixed basketball hoop has been set into the ground while the concrete was still wet, meaning that it is embedded into the concrete. Removing a fixed basketball hoop is a greater challenge than removing a portable basketball hoop and probably best left to a professional.
A portable basketball hoop has its own base that provides support since they are often filled with sand or water. While getting rid of a portable basketball hoop is still pretty cumbersome, it is likely going to be a easier project.
Removing your basketball pole can be a challenge.
In many ways, removing the hoop from the ground represents the largest problem. You may be able to deal with this yourself. But this will likely mean cutting the metal that fixes the pole into the concrete. Then you’ll need to remove the concrete fragments and refill the hole left in the concrete.
Using a sledgehammer to remove your basketball pole.
If you decide to remove the pole, you’ll want to first cut the pole and make sure there are no sharp edges that could potentially cut you. Next, you’ll have to break out the “big guns” – a sledgehammer to help you get rid of your basketball hoop.
If you’ve never used a sledgehammer before, then be prepared for a very loud and demanding workout. The sledgehammer is not for the faint of heart. Therefore, it is best to opt for a professional removal company to handle the removal process for you. Once the concrete has been smashed up and removed, you can fill the hole with new concrete.

Using the cut and file method for basketball pole removal.
Another option is to cut at the base of the pole and then file down the metal pole so that there are no sharp edges. This option may leave behind an unsightly pole remnant in the ground, but at least you’ll avoid the hassle and expense of using a sledgehammer.
Note: Cutting a metal basketball pole yourself is dangerous. We strongly recommended hiring a demolition professional.
Get Professional Basketball Goal Removal Help
If you opt to hire a professional company to remove a portable basketball hoop from your home or office, then you have come to the right place! You can look at other website pricing, but LoadUp is known for offering 20-30% cheaper removal and disposal prices than others.
We also haul away basketball goals that have been cemented into the ground, but ONLY after they have been removed from the cement. We cannot remove anything that is cemented in.
Who can you hire to remove your basketball hoop?
If you are having trouble finding someone to remove your basketball hoop, try doing an internet search for “basketball hoop removal” in your city. Most likely LoadUp is one of the top spots on Google because we are a nationwide removal company that will not only handle lifetime basketball hoop disassembly but also get rid of almost anything for you!

Always think about safety.
Another major concern, and one that is easily overlooked, is whether or not your basketball hoop is near a power-line. If your basketball hoop is near a power-line, you’ll want to check with your utility company regarding safety issues. In the end, the basketball removal cost will depend on the level of complexity involved with the job.
Disposing of Your Basketball Goal
In terms of recycling your basketball hoop, trash pickup or recycling may pick up the backboard and base of the portable basketball hoop, but there is no guarantee. For this reason, it is best to check with your local trash and recycling company and see what their policies are regarding basketball hoops before you decide to go this route.
Likewise, you’ll have to check with your trash and recycling company to see if they will pick up your metal pole, as every recycling company has its own rules. It is quite likely that you’ll have to cut the pole in half before it has any chance of being picked up.
Hiring LoadUp to Take Your Basketball Goal
Getting rid of a basketball hoop, especially an in-ground basketball hoop, can be a time-consuming, stressful, and even potentially dangerous endeavor.

Purpose and selection of basketball nets
Basketball has been an Olympic sport since 1936. Invented by the American James Neisman at the end of the 19th century, the game has undergone many changes. This applies not only to the rules, but also to the equipment.
Confirmed historical fact: in the early days of basketball, simple wicker baskets were used instead of baskets to collect fruit. They were suspended from balconies at a level of about three meters above the ground. The people sitting on the balconies prevented the balls from flying into the baskets, so basketball backboards appeared to protect the projectile from the fans. It was inconvenient to get the ball out of the basket every time it hit, so the bottom of the fruit container disappeared.
After some time, the baskets were replaced with metal rings, leaving the historical name of the inventory. Basketball hoops were more durable and comfortable than wicker bowls. After a while, a net was hung on the ring.

Requirements for nets
Basketball nets are subject to stringent requirements. When equipping a playground for professional games, the following standards are taken into account:
12 fastening loops;
40-45 cm long;
production material - white rigid cord;
diameter is optimal so that the ball does not get stuck.
Manufacturers of nets know exactly what is bad if, when throwing the ball, the woven fabric gets tangled, thrown up, torn. To produce high-quality equipment, serious manufacturers of sports equipment strictly follow the regulations.
Why does a basketball hoop need a net?
It seems to ordinary people that the grid is an extra element of the structure. Especially when you consider the fact that both balls and fingers of especially active players get stuck in it. Surprisingly, even professional basketball players do not always give the right answer to the question why the ring needs a net. These are the assumptions made by athletes and fans:
for beauty;
makes a pleasant rustle when the ball hits;
helps you aim better;
after hitting the ring, the ball falls exactly down thanks to the net, and there is no need to run after it;
a relic, a tribute to tradition - the mesh is hooked to make the ring look more like a fruit basket, which was originally used for the game in the 19th century.
Photo 2. Chain net
All the answers are good, but the truth is: the net on the basketball hoop helps to fix the ball hitting the target. Her appearance reduced the number of controversial points. They are not in a hurry to get rid of the net even now, when the flight of the ball is monitored not only by players, referees and fans, but also by modern video surveillance.
Basketball hoop nets in examples
Not all nets withstand powerful attacks in basketball. In the yards, you can see structures with metal chains instead of rope mesh with cells. They are certainly strong and durable, but there are other options. The best characteristics are characteristic of products made of kapron. Even products made from thin threads show the highest level of reliability.
Photo 3. Nylon mesh
A good purchase for yard use, school or other children's educational institution - inventory art.090126. A mesh with a thread thickness of only 2. 6 mm is used here. For competitions, active training, professional sports, a product with a cord thickness of 7 mm, art. 090370, is suitable.

Check Basketball Hoops Before Buying
Today it is easier to buy a basketball hoop with a "walking" geometry than a normal one, although the verification is quite simple and does not require special skills. So, in order.
A fixed basketball hoop (aka “ordinary” or “the simplest”) is perhaps the most inexpensive element of a basketball structure (after the net, of course), almost a consumable. It is not customary to pay attention to him when buying. But in vain. Indeed, the effectiveness of training, the accuracy of skills, the correctness of the results and the final amount of pleasure from games and training depend on the correct geometry and the general quality of the ring. And also, the absence or presence of problems with the installation of the basketball hoop, the need for adjustment, refinement and other intervention in the design during installation.
Let's look at the main geometric characteristic of a basketball hoop: the diameter. According to the Official Basketball Rules, - 45 cm on the inside of the ring. Unfortunately, in pursuit of a low price, many manufacturers reduce this parameter. Well, in fact, what's the difference, 45 or 43 centimeters? Is it imperceptible? Imperceptibly. Non-professional and amateur. Yes, and a player from a distance of 2-3 meters may no longer notice, but the results will be different. With the same success, you can put the player in sneakers one size smaller. Visually it will be imperceptible, but the result of training and games will be quite predictable.
The second thing I would like to pay attention to is the distance from the backboard to the outer edge of the basketball hoop and the horizontal plane of the hoop. The distance, according to the same Rules, must be 15 cm.
Another important parameter is the alignment of the holes during installation. Moreover, not only a coincidence “to assemble without drilling and fitting”, but also that as a result the general geometry of the “basketball backboard with a hoop” design is observed. Handmade rings are usually unique. Each basketball hoop is handmade. In a bad way, of course. Rings, the brackets of which are manufactured using CNC machines and the latest metalworking technologies, are devoid of these shortcomings. Vertically between the centers of the holes is always 110 mm, horizontally always 100. The distance from the edge of the bracket is a constant parameter. Deviation - no more than 0.
As an eco-friendly junk removal company, we always try to find the best disposal method for old basketball goals and other sporting equipment, including taking care of recycled basketball hoops, whenever possible. With rates 20-30% lower than other junk removal services, LoadUp is your best option for easy, affordable basketball goal disposal.
The sledgehammer is not for the faint of heart. Therefore, it is best to opt for a professional removal company to handle the removal process for you. Once the concrete has been smashed up and removed, you can fill the hole with new concrete.
