Lansdale-based since 2015
Eleven years in the North Penn Valley, working out of 5 Green St — a block off Main Street. Not a dispatch center and not a P.O. box.
Lansdale Premier Junk Removal removes propane tanks, above-ground oil tanks and basement fuel tanks across Lansdale, PA, and has done so since 2015. Every tank we take out gets purged of residual gas or oil, cut down where the space requires it, and sealed before it leaves the property — the same degassing-and-sealing sequence the trade expects, handled under PA DEP waste transport rules rather than cut corners. A standard propane or oil tank removal starts at $150; larger jobs that need cutting and sealing run up to roughly $1,000, and the number you approve on site, in writing, is the number you pay. Nothing gets loaded until that number is on paper.

Types of Tank Removal We Handle in Lansdale
Propane Tank Removal
We remove propane tanks of every size found in Lansdale garages and yards — small 20 lb grill cylinders, 100 lb tanks, and larger stationary tanks feeding a whole-house system. Before removal, we purge remaining gas so the tank is safe to transport, then route it to regulated disposal instead of a landfill. A standard propane tank removal starts at $150; cutting or sealing a larger stationary tank raises the quote, confirmed in writing before we touch it.
Oil Tank Removal (Above-Ground)
Above-ground heating oil tanks sit in basements and garages across the North Penn Valley, often left behind after a switch to gas or electric heat. We pump out any residual oil, cut the tank down when a narrow stairwell or doorway won’t clear it whole, and seal the cut edges before hauling it out. This drain, cut, purge and seal sequence is priced from $150 and runs up to about $1,000 when cutting and sealing are required.
Underground / Buried Oil Tank Removal
Some older Lansdale properties still carry a buried heating oil tank from decades past. Removing one means excavation, safe extraction, and handling under PA DEP waste transportation rules for the tank and any surrounding soil. This is heavier work, quoted individually on site rather than off a flat published rate. [Verify with our office before booking: confirm underground excavation is currently in scope before counting on it.]
Fuel Oil Tank Removal from Basements
The most common tank job in Lansdale is a decommissioned basement fuel oil tank left behind after a furnace conversion. Our crew drains the residual oil, cuts the tank in sections where the stairwell or doorway is too narrow for a whole-tank carry, and sweeps the floor before we leave — sweep-up is included on every job, never billed separately. Priced the same as other oil tank work, from $150 up to about $1,000 with cutting.
Water Heater and Hot Water Tank Removal
Old hot water heaters and storage tanks often come out alongside a garage or basement cleanout. We disconnect and remove the unit, separate the tank’s metal for scrap recycling, and route it for proper disposal. [Verify: hot water tank removal isn’t yet a separate published price line — refrigerators and freezers are priced at $150 each, so confirm a standalone rate before publishing this as a fixed price.]
Septic and Holding Tank Removal
[Verify before publishing: septic and holding tank removal is not currently listed in our published price book. If this work is genuinely in scope, confirm the scope, any permitting requirements and pricing with the office before this section goes live; otherwise this line should come off the page.]
Well Tank and Pressure Tank Removal
Basements and utility rooms across Lansdale often hold an old well pressure tank or expansion tank once a system is replaced. We remove the unit and separate the steel tank for scrap recycling rather than the landfill. [Verify: well tank removal doesn’t yet have its own published price — confirm a flat rate before this goes live rather than pricing it against the general load tiers.]
Above-Ground Storage Tank Removal (Commercial)
Property managers, landlords and contractors across Montgomery County call us to decommission above-ground fuel or storage tanks on commercial sites. We cut, purge and haul tanks under PA HIC #PA112494, and we hold Philadelphia city licensing for jobs inside city limits. Commercial clients are invoiced rather than paying card-at-the-curb, and heavy cutting work is priced individually against the site.
Concrete and Buried Debris Around Removed Tanks
A removed tank often leaves a concrete pad, footing or buried debris behind it. We haul that too, in the same visit if the schedule allows — concrete removal runs $750 to $900, with brick and dirt priced separately by volume. Heavy-material loads carry the same disclosed uplift listed on our pricing page, never an unstated add-on at the curb.

|---|---|---|
| Propane tank | $150 | Purged before transport; larger tanks may need cutting |
| Above-ground oil tank | $150 – $1,000 | Drained, cut and sealed as needed |
| Underground oil tank | Quoted on site | [Verify scope before publishing] |
| Basement fuel oil tank | $150 – $1,000 | Cut in sections for narrow stairwells; floor swept after |
