Emeryville Backyard Swing Set Dismantle and Disposal

2018-05-03 By Admin

Backyard swing set disposal requires a little pre-planning. Unlike disposing of yard waste or just landscape materials, when a kids' backyard swing set is no longer safe and/or usable, it's time to offload it. But, you can't just drag it out to the curb. Instead, you'll have to dismantle it and then properly dispose of like materials. (Which means having to go to different places for disposal and recycling.)

Backyard swing set disposal is a real challenge, nearly regardless of its condition. Since these play amenities are constructed with metal, wood, and plastic, all the materials must go to the proper destination. For instance, the metal and plastic might or might not be candidates for recycling -- the same goes for the wood. But, since it's so large and has various materials, you'll need to schedule junk removal.

While your swing set may provide many years of entertainment, a time will come when you need to take it down. This can be because of several different reasons. There are several different steps involved in removing a swing set from your yard. --Do It Yourself.com

This way, it's all done for you so you don't have to worry about what goes where. Not to mention the fact that if you don't have a truck and/or trailer, that's another factor that comes into play. Of course, you've got to take it apart first, which will require at least one set of helping hands and some common hand tools.

But, if you don't, here's an overview of the backyard swing set dismantle process:

  • Unfasten the play components. Next, unfasten the play components, including the swings, chains, slide, and so on. You'll like need assistance with this stage so you can work with little interruption.
  • Dismantle the entire frame. Now, take apart the frame itself using a drill-driver and/or ratchet. Exercise caution as these support parts are heavy and awkward to work with.
  • Separate the materials as you go. As you go through the dismantling process, separate the various materials and group them together. (Put the wood components together, metals in another pile, and plastics in their own pile.)
