Playset junking 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. So, read on to learn more about playset junking and what you need to know.
Dismantling Safety
If you have a kids’ backyard playset that’s showing signs of wear or your children have outgrown it, you’ll probably want to recapture that space. Trouble is, this isn’t a big-time item that’s in high demand. But, when it’s got to go, it’s got to go. So, do yourself a favor and take it down when you have at least a whole weekend. Also, keep kids and pets away while dismantling it.
While your [backyard playhouse] 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 [backyard playhouse] from your property. --Do It Yourself

Playset Junking Options in Fort Myers
Some parents elect to simply refresh and update their kids’ playhouses. 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 playhouse junking options you can try:
- Sell it. First, try to spread the word at work, through the kids' school, church, and elsewhere. You might find a taker without having to even publish a local ad. If not, publish an online ad and sell it cheap to get rid of it quickly.
- Donate it. If the playset is still in good condition, you might consider donating it to a church, daycare, or pre or elementary school. This way, you'll get a small tax write off, to boot.
- Give it away. If you are selling your house, then let it go with the transfer of ownership. Or, if you have a family member or friend that's in need, give it away and be free of it.
- Go ahead and junk it. Should the playset already be in rough condition, you ought to just junk it outright. Take the opportunity to offload a bunch of other stuff, while you're at it.
