Questions to settle
Before the crew and truck are committed.
Can all shed wood be recycled?+
No. Acceptance depends on whether wood is clean, painted, treated, laminated or contaminated. Local facility rules decide the destination.
Is rotten wood harder to remove?+
It can be less predictable and may need more controlled handling. Share close photos of weak walls, floors and roof sections.
Can good boards be saved?+
Ask before work starts. Salvage takes a different dismantling pace and should be written into the scope.
