Can I donate/sell my old shed?

If your shed is in good condition, you can definitely donate or sell it. In fact, you might be surprised to find out some people may even want to take it off your hands even if it’s seen better days. Many people would be happy to take away your shed just to get at the paving slabs underneath. If you want to go down the reuse and donation route, you could ask local allotment groups if they’d like it, or you could offer it for free on online sites such as Freegle or Freecycle. Likewise, you could offer your shed for free on Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, eBay and Gumtree, but you could also sell it on those sites and make some extra cash.

Will a Man & Van dismantle and dispose of my shed?

If you need your shed gone quickly, one of the fastest ways is to use a man and van contractor. They have the best response times in comparison to council collection services. Make sure you use a fully licensed man & van contractor though as you're responsible for where the waste ends up and cowboys in the waste industry are renowned for flytipping. If you use the LoveJunk marketplace, you can specify in the listing description that you would like it dismantled and you'll be matched with a collector who is happy to do the dismantling. Want to know how much it should cost to get rid of your shed? Sheds are considered DIY waste - check out our price guide for DIY waste disposal with example man & van collections.

Can the council collect my old shed?

You can use the council's bulky waste collection to collect your shed, but keep in mind it might be classed as DIY waste and is therefore sometimes charged differently. You can check your local council’s website to find out if they accept sheds and how much it costs. If you live in London, we have an ultimate guide to council bulky waste collection.

It has some of the best looking lumber I've seen, the instructions say lumber comes from europe ! The instructions make sense, you'll do well to familiarize yourself front to back and then sort out and inventory all pieces before starting. The problem I have is there are 4 pieces of cut siding missing. Not a big deal for me because I plan to relocate the door opening off to one side instead of the middle as pictured so I would have to buy a few pieces of siding for my custom build anyway. At least one other review mentions missing parts. This looks like it will be a very nice barn when done.
