Removing a dilapidated shed is a massive task, requiring enough time, the right tools, and a lot of patience. Aside from tearing down the shed itself, you need to dispose of all the shed’s contents. From rusted garden tools to old lawn mowers, it’s tedious and dangerous, requiring the help of a professional removalist.
Aus Rubbish Removals in Sydney is an expert in backyard bulky waste disposal. We can help you safely dismantle and remove degraded sheds and dispose of all their contents with our eco-friendly disposal process.
Our team is fully insured and capable of handling the job with the right equipment. We are experienced in safely extracting sheds and all rubbish, navigating tight entrances and narrow side gates.
Types of Sheds We Safely Dismantle
Sheds come in all shapes and sizes, but no matter what type you have in your backyard, our team can come in, dismantle and haul it away safely and efficiently.
Metal & Colorbond Sheds
This is the most common type of backyard shed made of sharp corrugated iron and cut-through rusted seized bolts. Dismantling this type of shed on your own can be extremely difficult, as you need specialised tools. Plus, you risk injuries as you deal with sharp and rusted iron.
Timber & Wooden Sheds
Another common type of backyard shed is one made of timber and wood. These are prone to wood rot, termite damage, and splintering, making it extremely dangerous to dismantle on your own. Our team can carefully pull apart timber frames, rotting floorboards, and weatherboards, and load them directly into our large-capacity trucks.
Plastic & Resin Storage Sheds
Plastic or resin storage sheds look impressive when new, but once they’ve spent several years out under the sun, they become brittle and crack into small, sharp pieces when moved. Our team can quickly dismantle and bag resin structures, avoiding the spread of sharp pieces.
Custom Structures
We also dismantle and dispose of custom-made structures, including greenhouses, aviaries, shade houses, and pergolas. We handle almost all backyard structures except for asbestos or fibro sheds. NSW EPA guidelines strictly advise calling a specialist hazardous material removalist to safely dispose of these materials.
Complete Shed Cleanouts: What Junk Do We Remove?
Our shed cleanout services are not limited to dismantling and disposal of actual sheds but also everything that’s inside them.
Old Gardening Equipment
We also take old and broken gardening materials, including rusted lawnmowers, whipper snippers, garden hoses, plastic pots, and wheelbarrows. Gardening equipment is difficult to dispose of, with most council pick-ups refusing to take it.
DIY & Construction Leftovers
Homeowners usually use sheds to keep leftover construction materials, often forgetting them in the long run. We remove dried-up paint tins, broken tiles, timber offcuts, rusted nails, and leftover bags of hardened cement.
Broken Tools & Scrap Metal
Sheds usually contain all kinds of broken tools and sharp scrap metal pieces. Our team will arrive with the equipment and PPE to handle seized hand tools, heavy workbenches, old shelving units, and scrap iron. These are further sorted before they are taken to specialised recycling centres.
General Household Overflow
We have huge, heavy-duty trucks to handle all the garbage. We can take old bicycles with flat tyres, broken camping gear, forgotten outdoor furniture, sports equipment, and much more.
The Hidden Dangers of DIY Shed Removal
Handling shed removal on your own is not just time-consuming but also dangerous. Without the right tools and equipment, it can take you more than a weekend to completely dismantle your shed, plus you’re exposing yourself to hazards and safety risks.
Tetanus & Sharp Edges
Getting a cut or a laceration while dismantling a rusted shed and exposed screws is an instant recipe for an infection or tetanus. Our team will dismantle your shed wearing PPE and using the right tools to avoid these risks.
Spiders & Pests
Sheds are dark and damp, perfect habitats for funnel-web and redback spiders, rodents, and wasps. We wear correct heavy-duty PPE to safely and efficiently get the job done.
Heavy Lifting & Awkward Access
We will handle everything from carrying heavy timber beams or metal panels to navigating side entrances, all without damaging gates or scratching brickwork. We are experienced and ready to remove all backyard waste in one day.
Eco-Friendly Disposal: Scrap Metal & Landfill Diversion
Hiring a professional removalist such as Aus Rubbish Removals is a green alternative to simply dumping your backyard rubbish in a landfill. This is because a garden shed and all its contents are basically made of highly recyclable materials, including.
- Heavy galvanised steel panels
- Aluminium tracks
- Old metal tools
- Hard plastic sheds
- Timber shed components
- Broken garden equipment
We make sure that these materials are segregated before they are taken to specialised Sydney recycling facilities, ensuring waste is diverted from landfills. Aus Rubbish Removals is carbon-neutral, strongly supporting Sydney’s circular economy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to empty the shed before you arrive?
No need. Our shed dismantling services are all-inclusive, including the removal of all the contents of the shed.
The bolts on my metal shed are completely rusted shut. Can you still dismantle it?
Yes, we can. We have the right tools, including angle grinders, to easily cut through seized bolts and dismantle rusted metal structures.
Do you remove the concrete slab underneath the shed?
Our standard service covers the dismantling of the shed and the removal of internal floorboards or pavers. We do not perform heavy concrete slab demolition, only the clearing of rubbish, so the site is ready for heavy demolition works.
Will my local council take an old shed in a kerbside clean-up?
Usually not. Most local councils have strict rules on the size, weight, and type of material and will reject large corrugated iron panels and heavy timber beams.
How much does shed removal cost in Sydney?
The cost of shed removal in Sydney depends on shed size, shed material, and the internal junk we need to remove. We provide a free, upfront quote based on cubic metres so you know what to expect before we begin.
