What do you do with an old shed or playset in the backyard?

Sell or give away your old shed or playset if it’s still structurally sound. Once the wood rots and becomes unsafe, hire a crew like The Junkluggers to dismantle and haul it away.

It’s notoriously hard to get rid of an old shed or playset once you no longer need it. The resulting junk is more than can be picked up by normal trash service or even curbside pickup on bulk waste days. This is where it helps to bring in a professional junk removal service.

If you can find someone to take the shed or playset for you, that’s best. But that can only work if you find a willing taker who is able to pick it up and the shed or playset is in good condition in the first place. You’re not likely to find a buyer for a rotted or wobbling structure. If that’s the situation you’re in, or if you simply can’t find a taker, then it’s a takedown job. For that, a professional junk removal crew can come in and dismantle the structure. Then they can take all the lumber, roofing, and hardware and haul it away in one visit.

With The Junkluggers, you can always expect an estimate upfront. Disassembly is billed by the hour, but you’ll have a binding estimate before you start.

There are two things to be aware of if you have a big disassembly job. The first is that concrete footings or slabs might need separate handling. If this applies to you, mention it upfront. Likewise, heavy debris like concrete is priced by weight. Truck loads are limited to about a foot deep in the truck bed when hauling heavy supplies. When possible, materials are donated or recycled.
