📞 Call (217) 809-0779 Free EstimateAn old grain bin or silo that's out of service becomes a liability — rusting through, leaning, a place kids and critters get into, and one good wind from peeling apart over the fence line. When it's time, you want it down, the steel handled, and the ground left clean.
Brohez Trucking LLC handles grain bin removal and silo demolition across central Illinois — corrugated steel bins of every size, old concrete-stave and tile silos, leg systems, augers, conveyors, grain dryers, catwalks, and the concrete pads and foundations under all of it. Single bins, whole bin yards, and full farmstead cleanups.
The Komatsu PC150LC handles the heavy work. The JCB mini and Takeuchi skid steer get into tight bin yards and clean up after. Dump trucks haul the steel, tin, and concrete to the right place. Bin standing to clean dirt is one job, one contractor.
Here's the part nobody else will say plain: a bin or silo is a lot of steel, and the steel has scrap value that helps offset the job — we're straight about that. It's in your number, not pocketed quietly on the back end.
Insured — Certificate of Insurance emailed before we roll in. You'll have it in writing before any equipment shows up on your ground.
Older structures can carry asbestos (siding, old board). On anything pre-1980 we coordinate the required inspection and the IEPA 10-day notification — we don't cut corners on it.
Talk to Levi — the man running the machine, not a call center. Text a photo of your bin and he'll get you a straight number.Every bin yard is different. The basics don't change.
We come look at the bins, silos, and leg system, talk through what's coming down, weigh up the scrap steel, and give you a straight number. No pressure.
We call utility locates, kill any power or aeration still running, and on pre-1980 structures coordinate the inspection and IEPA 10-day notification before anything comes down.
Legs, augers, conveyors, dryers, fans, and catwalks come down first — disconnected, dropped safe, and set aside as clean steel for scrap.
The Komatsu works the bin or silo down in a controlled sequence — even a leaner or a cracked concrete stave. No dropping things toward the house, the other bins, or the neighbor's fence.
We break out the concrete pad and ring footing if it's part of the job, separate the steel for the scrapyard, and load concrete and debris onto dump trucks.
We backfill, grade the footprint flat, and walk you through the finished work. Clean dirt — ready to farm, build, or seed down.
If it's old, out of service, and shouldn't be standing, we can probably help.
Corrugated steel bins of every size torn down clean, the steel separated and scrapped to help offset the job.
Old concrete-stave and tile silos — cracked, leaning, or storm-damaged — brought down in a controlled way and hauled off.

A bin yard is a lot of steel. We weigh that value into your number and we're straight about how it offsets the job.
Concrete pads, ring footings, and old foundations under the bins broken out, hauled, and backfilled so the ground is usable again.
A whole cluster of old bins, silos, legs, and outbuildings cleared in one job. You walk away with clean dirt, not a scrap heap.

It depends on the size and number of bins, whether silos or a leg system are involved, whether the concrete pad and foundation come out, and access to the site. The steel carries scrap value that helps offset the job, and we're straight about that in the number. We give free on-site estimates with a straight number. Call (217) 809-0779.
Often, yes. A grain bin, silo, or leg system is a lot of steel, and that steel has scrap value. We factor that into your number and we're straight about it — you're not paying full demo price on something we turn around and sell. The bigger and cleaner the steel, the more it helps offset the job.
Yes. Old concrete-stave and tile silos are some of the more dangerous structures on a farm — they crack, lean, and drop chunks. We bring them down in a controlled sequence with the Komatsu, haul the debris, and clean up the pad. Don't climb or push on one yourself — call us.
Yes. Bin legs, augers, conveyors, grain dryers, and the catwalks tying it all together come down as part of the job. That equipment is steel too, so it adds to the scrap offset. We disconnect, drop it safe, and haul it off.
Yes. If the job includes the concrete pad, ring footing, or old foundation, we break it out, haul it off, and backfill or grade the spot so you can farm it, build on it, or seed it down.
It can. Older structures can carry asbestos in siding, old board, gaskets, or insulation. On anything pre-1980 we coordinate the required inspection and the IEPA 10-day notification — we don't cut corners on it. We tell you up front what we find before anything comes down.
Yes. A lot of our work is full farmstead cleanup — a cluster of old bins, a silo, a leg, and the outbuildings around them all cleared in one job, one contractor. Steel separated for scrap, concrete and debris hauled, ground left clean and farmable.
