Schools Sell and Donate Their Portable Modular Classrooms

Portable Modular Classrooms for Sale or Donation

This time of the year I seem to get several calls from school districts in the U.S. that want to get rid of perfectly good used portable modular classrooms. Why? So they can either move new modular classroom trailers in or they recently completed construction and no longer need the temporary portables currently on site.

For example, today I received a call from a contractor who is responsible for removing twenty-four 24' x 40' modular classrooms from a school campus in Riverside County, California and all they want is $2,000 each plus the cost of removal. A few days ago I took another call from a large church in Georgia that has a 36' x 60' modular classroom to remove- for next to nothing.

In some cases a school district or church will simply donate their modular buildings to another organization in need of space - this leaves only the costs for removal, transportation and set up. What a deal. In many other instances the portables can be purchased for a very affordable price.

Texas is a Buyer's Market for Modular Buildings and Classrooms

Texas is one of the top states for the use of modular buildings and portable classrooms by businesses, schools and churches. This may be the reason why I receive so many calls from people in Houston, Dallas and Austin who are looking for a good quality used modular office building or portable classroom trailer to rent or purchase at a discounted price - and there are super deals available if you know what you want and where to look.

Here are my suggestions to every caller that is serious about their need for a modular building or classroom:

1. Know your space needs! Yes, be sure that you know how much space you need, how many offices or classrooms, bathrooms, windows and doors, etc. This is very helpful article about designing your modular building.
