How to Dispose of a Shed in Orlando, FL
Old sheds in Orlando deteriorate quickly in Florida's heat, humidity, and storms. Rotted wood, rusted metal, termite damage, and hurricane damage are all common reasons Orlando homeowners need to demolish and dispose of backyard sheds. Here's a complete guide to shed removal and disposal.
DIY Shed Demolition
Most residential sheds can be demolished by a homeowner with basic tools. Start by removing everything stored inside. Then remove the roof, pry off shingles, cut rafters. Next, remove wall panels and framing. Finally, disassemble or break up the floor and any foundation. A standard 8x10 wood shed takes 3-5 hours to demolish with two people. Metal sheds are faster, unbolt panels and fold flat.
What Size Dumpster for a Shed?
A standard 8x10 to 10x12 wood shed fits in a 20-yard dumpster when demolished. Larger sheds (12x16+) or sheds with concrete foundations need a 30-yard. Metal sheds collapse flat and generate less volume but can be heavy. Factor in everything stored in the shed, most people discover years of accumulated junk during demolition. If you have large amounts to dispose of, renting a dumpster is the easiest and most cost-effective option.
