Taking it to the tip yourself
A wooden shed is free to leave at West Berkshire tips, but the work is on you. Panels need unscrewing, roofing felt peeled off and the pieces loaded into a car or van.
If you use a van, you need a permit. Find out more on our West Berkshire tips page.
A shed often takes more than one trip, so plan for that before you start.
Before the shed comes down
Do
- Empty it fully, including shelves and the floor
- Check for wasps or nests before you start
- Wear gloves and sturdy shoes for splinters and nails
- Keep wood separate from glass, felt and metal
Don't
- Don't take it apart alone if panels are heavy or rotten
- Don't leave old paint or chemicals inside the pile
- Don't use a roof that looks unsafe as a ladder
- Don't hand it to anyone who can't show they are a registered waste carrier
