Outside kids’ backyard playset disposal can really be tricky. First and foremost is dealing with the sheer size and awkwardness of the thing. Then, there’s the matter of dismantling it safely. And, of course, hauling it away. (This is particularly more difficult if it’s going to be reassembled elsewhere.) What’s more, it’s very time consuming. It will take an entire weekend at the very least to dismantle it completely.
Outside Kids’ Playset Dismantling Guide
First, you should take it apart. After all, it’s simply too large to move as-is. Start by removing all the extra parts. Then, take down the slide, take off the swings, and more. Basically, the next phase is to undo what’s been done. In other words, dismantle it in reverse order of its assembly. (If you’re unsure, find an assembly guide online to follow.)
For many families, a backyard playset or swing set means hours of family entertainment. When moving, these families are often reluctant to leave their kids’ favorite outdoor play equipment behind. Moving a backyard playset is not nearly as challenging as people think it is. A few basic tools, a wide open Saturday, a truck and some helping hands are the only prerequisites. --MetroParent.com
Now, this process will take nearly as long as it did to put the thing together. So, set aside a weekend and be sure to check the weather forecast ahead of time. Also, have a couple of people help you out. This isn’t a one-man job, in the least. You should also know ahead of time where to dispose of the various materials. And, to make it less strenuous, take time to clear a path from the backyard to the street.
Kids' Outside Playset Disposal Options in Williamsburg
Some parents elect to simply refresh and update their kids’ playsets. This makes sense if you still have toddlers and elementary children who play on it regularly. But, if your kids no longer use it and it just takes up space, it’s time to go. Unfortunately, it will be somewhat of a challenge. Here are some helpful outside kids’ playset disposal options you can try:
- Sell it. One of the best ways to rid your yard of a kids’ playset is simply to sell it online locally. You should include as much information about the set and before you place an ad, be sure to check to see if it’s on recall or dangerous product lists.
- Donate it. You might well be able to donate it to a nearby church, school, or other organization. Here again, stipulate the taker must dismantle it and haul it away.
- Give it away. If you’re going to sell your house and it’s in good condition, just leave it where it is and let it go with the sale. Or, if you have a family member or friend with young children, you might find an eager taker.
