Storage Shed Disposal

Storage Shed Disposal

  • Storage sheds are useful for any number of things, from keeping our things safe during an extended
    move to housing garden tools and bicycles. They keep everything safe and dry, and more importantly,
    out of the way until we are ready to use them.

  •  Unfortunately, they are often the second-to-last place in our
    unwanted items go before they are either forgotten or hauled off as junk. But even the storage shed
    itself has a life expectancy. 

  • Storage sheds are temporary solutions to your moving problems.
    Though durable, they aren’t really built to withstand the elements for the length of a house or other
    building. 

  • Over time, sheet metal corrodes, asphalt shingle roofs leak, and over the summers and
    Winters, sunlight, and precipitation can reduce a wooden storage shed to a shell of its former self in a
    short number of years.

  • Water damage is perhaps the most harmful to a storage shed, as are impacts from falling trees.
    vehicles, and even just time itself. Once the physical integrity of a storage shed is compromised, it is
    really no good to anyone. It just becomes part of the “junk scape” of a yard or property.

  •  It no longer
    protects the items that could be kept inside, and other than making stray cats or raccoons happy, you
    are better off without it. Some are very large and will require some demolition, depending on the size.

  • of truck you can use to haul them off. But it is important to remove them from your site. Not only for
    aesthetic purposes, but even the liability of having one on your property that might injure someone
    trying to get inside.

Storage Shed removal

Storage sheds come in a variety of sizes, shapes, building materials, and configurations. None of which
are all that easy to remove. Even if they are dilapidated, they are still difficult to break down into manageable pieces.  If they are built on a concrete pad, they might even be secured to the foundation.

Special tools or equipment might need to be used to dismantle a storage shed. This is where a full- A junk hauling and removal company’s service is crucial. Not only is proper safety equipment, know-how, and the right kind of truck is important to do the job, but there is also the question of what happens to the
shed once it is removed?

Storage Shed disposal

After the shed is dismantled and loaded onto a truck, the area also has to be cleared. This might include items the storage shed was containing, which are now exposed to the elements. That might require moving them to a new location, or simply hauling them off with the rest of the junk. Get It All Service Aps partners with local donation partners, the Red Cross, and many other local organizations to make sure that as little of your junk as possible makes it into a landfill.  Including the
shed itself.

Metal storage shed removal

The metal used to build your shed might have outlived its usefulness for that purpose, but the scrap. might find a new purpose somewhere else. Scrap metal can be melted down and made into other things. nearly an unlimited number of times. Corrugated steel, tin, or other metals can be repurposed.
depending on the need, which is something a professional scrap metal company can decide; anything. from decorative paneling to metal sculptures. Many of our partners make salvaging scrap metal their business. Scrap metal is a commodity, which is how we can keep our prices competitive, as well as
helping out the environment. Metal salvaged from scrap metal means less metal mined and processed. from raw materials. This reduces carbon emissions, environmental damage from strip mining, and reduction in the use of fossil fuels at forges and foundries.

Wood storage shed removal

  • Wood storage sheds are similar to metal sheds, with the exception that wood is not as easily recycled.
    metal. Over time, water damage and the effects of solar radiation on wood cause the fibers to break.
    down, warp, and deteriorate. Insects, varmints, and other animals have an easier time burrowing into
    a wood storage shed than metal, and accelerate the process of breakdown. Fungus and other plants also
    work on the structure and render the building materials (and often items inside) rotten and useless.
    over time. The wood can be repurposed, depending on the condition of the structure. Slats and beams in
    In good condition, they can be repurposed as weathered “barnwood”-type decorations. Wood can be
    incinerated as well as ground up into mulch, depending on the condition. Shingles can be reused as
    well. Our partners in recycling and repurposing are experts when it comes to this, which takes a lot of
    the headache of trying to figure out the best way to remove and dispose of your wood storage sheds.

Better for the environment and better for you

  • Our practices of eco-friendly disposal of metal recycling, hazardous material handling,
    and wood structures are done with the health of our customers in mind, as well as the
    well-being of the planet Metals and wood, as well as hazardous materials, do a lot of

  • damage in landfills. Acids, petroleum products, and even the chemical byproducts of
    Wood such as formaldehyde can seep into the soils and groundwater of a landfill. Keeping as much of that as possible out of the environment and disposing of it safely is crucial to the community and the environment for generations to come.

How to prepare your shed for disposal

  • Empty out the shed: Items inside the shed might not be considered junk and will need to be moved to another area for storage. Our full-service team can help with that as a separate service. Be sure to ask about junk removal and moving services when you speak to a representative.
    Disassemble or deconstruct: Most Get It All Service Aps locations offer light
    demolition as a service if you are unable to safely deconstruct the shed yourself. You can discuss this need with our representatives when you call.
    Clear access: Over time, your storage shed might be surrounded by overgrown trees, shrubs, or hedges, which would make it difficult for our removal trucks to access the area. Make sure that an adequate pathway has been made to the storage shed prior to our team coming out to remove the shed. Sheds are usually removed in large sections from property in large trucks, so this step is very important. Pets, livestock, or other animals that could impede the job should also be kept out of the area.
