My shed is about to fall down and it’s time to replace it. 8x12 traditionally framed building, plywood walls and asphalt shingles. I’m going to tear it down this weekend but I’m not sure what to do with it once it’s down. I’m guessing it’s more than Amherst will be willing to take in trash pickup, but it seems stupid to pay $350 for a 4 ton dumper (the smallest they local dumper place listed). Anyone done this before? Is there a dump where I could take the stuff in my truck around WNY? Anyone want a bunch of misc lumber to burn over the summer? ---

im sure you know this but make sure you get a permit/inspection whatever the town requires when putting up your new one… unless you can be real snky snky about it and put it in the same spot and just say “oh i repainted it” ---

Load it into a truck and take it to the dump? Not to sound like too much of an environmentalist, but are the materials worth using to rebuild something else? Be a shame to waste that much wood and whatnot. ---

Be a shame to waste that much wood and whatnot. lol… this shed has needed to be replaced for about 3 years. There may be a few 2x4’s that aren’t rotted, but the majority of it is complete garbage. Where’s the dump around here? I did a google search for WNY dump and all I got was dump trucks. WTF? > [@Bsp TC](#): > > burn it. The trim parts I took off tonight are burning in my little suburbia burning cage right now. It would take a long time to burn all that wood in a little 2 x 3.5 fire pit. ---

Pay for the difference in weight. :tup: Looks like Joe\_Omerta is going to take the wood for a bonfire, but that sounds like a good place to get rid of the shingles. I’m going to ask the owner here at work I can just toss them in our dumpster for a few $, but if that doesn’t work off to the dump I go. > [@newman](#): > > BLOW IT UP AND LET THE PIECES RAIN INTO YOUR NEIGHBOR’S YARDS. > > NOT YOUR PROBLEM. A+ Believe me, last night when I had the roaring fire going in the fire pit I was considering moving it a little too close to the shed and just letting the whole thing go up. I was pretty sure flames that big would result in the fire department showing up though. 🙂 ---

Jay - if you have anything left over, I am pretty sure the dump for Amherst is over at Millersport/Smith/New, right around that area. ---

Amherst takes anything as long as its not all in one day. I gutted my house and had probably 5-6 cans out every week for probably 2-3 months. not to mention 3/4" sub floor cut down to 2’X4’ pieces along with a MOUND of carpet and padding. I would take it down and just break it up, put 1/2 out one week and half the next…or 1/4 of it per week. They will take it. if they dont they dont then find another route As per permits if your new shed will be free standing you dont need one but if its anchor down, sonotubes etc, then you need one ---

It will be free standing just like the old one. I’m HOPING the treated lumber base is in decent shape and I can just slap some new treated plywood down on the existing cross members and put the new shed right on top. It LOOKS like it’s the only part that’s still ok, but I’ll know more once I pull the floor up.
