How much to remove old cast iron boiler?

Answer:

give itto someone to remove for the metal. scrap prices are up.
contact your local scrap dealer and ask for a reputable broker the broker will come out to your house with your supervision (don't leave him alone, some have been know to strip an entire house of its copper by the time you get home, reputable doesn't always mean honest, just means that he isn't going to murder you ) and remove the boiler for free, he takes it and does the work for the scrap value, which right now is very high, many men have stolen scrap to provide for their families you may have to give the broker a receipt that you gave your permission for him to have the boiler as scrap, the money he gets from the dealer goes onto his taxes as income, that is why the receipt is necessary in some states don't let other people fool you into paying them to remove it - the value of the scrap is ample pay for the job, and any work it may entail, you will have to sweep and mop when the broker leaves, but he should be careful of damaging your home when removing the boiler in pieces when we have scrap hauled away the broker gives us cash for the pile, sometimes up to a couple hundred dollars, then he packs it onto a pickup that needs to be in the scrap yard and hauls it to his place and waits for the highest price on that particular metal, then he hauls it to the dealers and sells it
A sectional boiler can be disassembled into separate plates. If it is another type, get a 9 pound sledge hammer and safety glasses. It breaks easily.
You don't give us much information. Size? Location? Weight? If it is easy to get to, you may get some one to remove it for it since the price of scrap iron is so high now.
