Though these safety features do have a particular purpose, they typically are not aesthetically pleasing. What’s more, over time, corrosion begins to form on the metal and they become unsightly, as well as potential projectile hazards, in inclement weather conditions.

Exterior redesign projects may include removing a rusted or damaged metal window awning and installing new one or going with another type of window accent. Regardless of the reason, removing an awning is done methodically to prevent damaging the stucco or wood siding by pulling out the fasteners that secure the frame to the building. In addition, even smaller awnings can be awkward to handle. --San Francisco Gate.com

Because these awnings are made of aluminum, they can be sold for a little extra cash as scrap. Take them to a scrap metal yard, have them weighed, and sell them. But, this isn't always the case. You might have to take them to a recycling facility. And, that means precious time taken out of your schedule. So, call a local junk hauling company and be rid of them in no time at all.

Window Awning Removal Guide

With a very few tools, these awnings can be uninstalled from the exterior of a home. You’ll need a step ladder, a utility knife, a power drill-driver, a pry bar, eye protection, and leather gloves. Once you have everything you need, do the following:

• Clear the area. Your first order of business is to clear the immediate area so you have plenty of room to work. Be sure to have a plan for keeping children and pets out of the way.
• Cut through the caulk. Most window awnings are caulked to prevent rain from dripping or pouring down directly onto the window. Use a sharp utility knife to cut the caulk away from the wall to start the separation process. Take care not to cut into the wall itself and exercise caution to avoid injury to yourself.
• Unfasten the retaining screws. Next, you'll need to remove the retaining screws from the awning that go into the wall. Use a drill-driver to unfasten the retaining screws. If that's not possible, you'll have to use another method to get the awning freed from the wall.
• Carefully pull the awning off the wall. Once the retaining screws are off, then carefully pull the awning away from the wall. This might take a bit of effort, along with a lot of caution.
