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.
Kids’ Backyard Playset Dismantling Safety
Before you begin taking it down, whether you’re going to junk it or not, you should be familiar with some basic safety protocols. You should know ahead of time where to dispose of the various materials. Additionally, check the weather forecast so you aren’t unpleasantly surprised. Always keep the work area off limits to children and pets.
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
And, don’t tackle it on your own. Ask a couple or few friends and family members for help. To make it less strenuous, take time to clear a path from the backyard to the street. This way, you won’t have to struggle to get it from point A to point B. After all, you don’t want to navigate past tripping hazards.
Plant City Playset Disposal Hacks You can Use
If you’re unsure what to do with the play amenity, you do have a few choices. Here are some playset disposal options you can try out:
- 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. If you can’t sell it or just don’t want to go that route, there’s always the possibility of donating it to a local church, school, or other organization. Plus, you can take a tax deduction for making a donation.
- 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.
- Call a junk hauling and removal service. Should none of these be a real option, you can always bring in a local junk removal service to take care of it for you.
