Tearing Down a Shed or Deck? We'll Handle the Debris.
Old sheds and rotting decks don't remove themselves. Rent a dumpster, tear it down, toss it in — we haul it all away.
Shed and deck demolitions are some of the most satisfying DIY projects — but they generate a surprising amount of debris. A standard 10x12 storage shed fills most of a 15-yard dumpster. A full deck tear-off with railings, posts, and concrete footings can easily require a 20-yard.
Wood, nails, screws, roofing material, lattice, and concrete blocks — it all goes in the dumpster. The only things we can't take are pressure-treated lumber that's been chemically contaminated (standard pressure-treated wood from residential decks and sheds is fine).
The key to a smooth demolition is having the dumpster on-site before you start swinging the sledgehammer. We deliver with free driveway protection boards and can place the dumpster in your yard near the demo site if you have access — just let us know when you call.
We work with homeowners and contractors across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky who are clearing old structures to make room for new builds, patios, or landscaping projects. Same-day delivery is available 7 days a week.

Tips
- Remove any salvageable hardware, doors, or windows before demolition
- Start from the roof down on sheds — it's safer and more efficient
- For decks, remove railings and boards first, then tackle the frame
- Have the dumpster placed as close to the demo site as possible
Frequently Asked Questions
What size dumpster do I need for shed demolition?
A standard 10×12 shed fills most of a 15-yard dumpster. Larger sheds or if you're also removing the concrete pad, go with the 20-yard.
What size dumpster do I need for a deck tear-off?
It depends on the deck size. A small deck (under 200 sq ft) fits in a 15-yard. Larger decks with railings, stairs, and concrete footings typically need a 20-yard.
Can pressure-treated wood go in the dumpster?
Yes. Standard pressure-treated lumber from residential decks and sheds is accepted. The only restriction is chemically contaminated or creosote-treated industrial lumber.
Should I have the dumpster delivered before I start demolition?
Yes — always have the dumpster on-site before you start. This way you can toss debris directly in as you work instead of creating a pile that needs to be moved twice.
