Mobile home demolition in Belfair and Mason County, WA costs about $3,000 to $8,500 in 2026. A single-wide with decent driveway access typically runs $3,000 to $5,500, while a double-wide with skirting, decks and outbuildings runs $5,500 to $8,500. Add roughly $500 to $700 for the required asbestos survey and $2,000 to $5,000 if abatement is needed. The three things that move your number most are unit size, how close a truck and excavator can get, and the tonnage headed to the Eells Hill Transfer Station in Shelton.
Bouchard Hauling & Removal is headquartered on NE Old Belfair Highway, so Mason County is home turf. We tear down single-wides in Allyn and Grapeview, double-wides on acreage outside Shelton, and park units in Belfair – as a veteran-owned, family-run crew that quotes disposal honestly instead of hiding it in a vague “haul-off fee.”
National cost data puts mobile home demolition and disposal at roughly $2 to $4 per square foot, which matches what we see across Mason County once local tipping fees are added.

Two identical 1978 single-wides five miles apart can quote $2,000 apart. These are the variables, roughly in order of how much they move the number:
This is the local detail that trips up almost every DIY tear-down in North Mason. The Belfair Drop Box on NE Sandhill Road does not accept construction debris of any kind – and neither do the Hoodsport or Union drop boxes. Every pound of a demolished mobile home has to go to the Eells Hill Transfer Station at 501 W. Eells Hill Road in Shelton, roughly a 25-mile haul each way from downtown Belfair.
Mason County’s posted 2026 charges put construction debris at $134.27 per ton plus a 3.6% refuse collection tax, with a $21.78 minimum fee for loads of 340 pounds or less. A modest single-wide produces 5 to 8 tons, so disposal alone is often $700 to $1,200 before anyone picks up a saw.
| County | Facility we use | 2026 posted rate | Minimum fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mason (Belfair, Allyn, Grapeview, Shelton) | Eells Hill Transfer Station, Shelton | $134.27/ton construction debris (+3.6% tax) | $21.78 (340 lbs or less) |
| Kitsap (Bremerton, Port Orchard) | Olympic View Transfer Station, Bremerton | Per-ton rate set by county fee schedule | $42 (up to 650 lbs, tax included) |
| Pierce (Gig Harbor, Fox Island, Tacoma) | Pierce County / Tacoma facilities | Varies by facility | Varies by facility |
Practical takeaway: in Belfair or Allyn, the round trip to Eells Hill is the hidden cost of DIY. In Bremerton or Port Orchard, Olympic View is closer but its minimum fee is roughly double Mason’s, so small loads punish you. For Gig Harbor and Fox Island, the Purdy and Narrows Bridge crossings make truck timing matter more than mileage.
Mobile homes are explicitly covered by Washington’s demolition notification rules. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, which regulates Kitsap and Pierce County, applies the requirement to all structures, including mobile homes, with greater than 120 square feet of roof area, and requires a 10-day wait after filing whether or not asbestos is present.
Mason County sits under a different agency: the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA). ORCAA also requires at least 10 days’ prior notice, and that waiting period begins only once they have your notification form, the asbestos survey and the payment. The survey must be done by a certified asbestos building inspector – not by you, and not by your crew’s eyeballs.
Bouchard offers asbestos testing in Kitsap and Mason County as a dedicated service, so the survey, notification and tear-down are sequenced by one company. Note the scope: asbestos is a licensed abatement service, not ordinary junk – our standard junk pickup does not accept hazardous waste, paints, flammables or biohazards.
Three pieces of paperwork close out a Mason County tear-down, and owners routinely forget the third:
The EPA reports that 600 million tons of construction and demolition debris were generated in the United States in a single year – more than twice the amount of municipal solid waste, with demolition accounting for over 90% of that total. A mobile home is a meaningful slice of that: steel frame, aluminum siding, appliances, copper.
We pull recyclable metal and reusable items before the excavator starts, which lowers tonnage and your bill. Household goods worth reusing go to our sister resale shop, The Bouchard Boutique in Belfair – and Mason County charges scrap metal at a lower per-ton rate than mixed construction debris, so separating it on site pays for itself.
A determined owner with a tractor can knock a single-wide down. The rest rarely pencils out: the certified survey, the 10-day notification, 6 to 10 round trips to Shelton at $134.27 per ton, and the liability if asbestos siding gets pulverized on a windy day. For smaller projects, a shed or detached garage demolition is the better DIY candidate – and if you are clearing the whole property, our junk removal in Mason County crew can handle the cleanout on the same trip.

Most Washington mobile home demolitions run $3,000 to $8,500 in 2026. A single-wide with good access lands between $3,000 and $5,500; a double-wide pushes $5,500 to $8,500. The asbestos survey adds $500 to $700, and abatement adds $2,000 to $5,000 if asbestos is confirmed.
Yes, and you need two approvals. Mason County Community Development issues the demolition permit, and the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA) requires an asbestos and demolition notification for structures over 120 square feet. ORCAA needs at least 10 days’ notice, starting only once they have the form, survey and payment.
Almost never in Mason County. Free-removal offers target newer, movable units with resale value, and a 1970s trailer on a rural Belfair or Grapeview lot rarely qualifies. Between the survey, labor and roughly $134 per ton at Eells Hill, someone pays for disposal.
On-site work is fast: one to two days for a single-wide, two to three for a double-wide including hauling. Paperwork is the slow part. Budget two to four weeks, because the asbestos survey comes first and ORCAA’s 10-day wait starts only after filing.
If the home still holds a Washington title, finish at the county Auditor’s Licensing division with a Manufactured Home Application to eliminate the title, currently around $75.50. Skip it and the county may keep assessing personal property tax on a trailer that no longer exists.
