HOW TO SAFELY REMOVE A PLAYGROUND

How to Safely Remove a Playground Orlando
Wondering how to safely remove a playground from your property? Swing sets and other play equipment can be a great addition to your backyard if you have little kids. They can be beneficial to your kids’ development as additional playtime outside of the house is deemed very healthy. When your kids grow or when years have passed and your backyard playground is no longer safe to play with, removing it might be a good necessary step.
 
Removing a playground can give you much backyard space. However, it is not always a very easy task to do. Compared to removing furniture and other clutter at home, complete removal of a playground can be quite a challenge. When not properly executed, removal can leave behind metal debris and other dangerous parts that can damage your property and can cause injuries to your family.

Removing a Playground From Your Backyard

Safely remove slides and swing sets. Huge play sets take time to remove. You must list down all the parts and accessories and make sure that you remove them carefully and completely. Place the poles on safe ground, away from kids. Check screws and bolts and put them in one place. Be mindful of the little parts that can easily get lost.
 
Disassemble frames carefully. Slides, crossbeams, and other playsets contain heavy frames or foundations. Make sure they won’t fall on the ground. Take them apart carefully to avoid safety hazards.
 
Take note of broken parts. Rusty nails, splintering woods, and other broken parts of an old playground can be very dangerous especially to children. Make sure to put them together in a safe place to prevent potential accidents.
 
Dispose of properly. Once you take down parts carefully, you can put labels and separate them according to type and make sure that you won’t leave behind other parts that can cause danger to your family.

Proper Disposal of Your Playground

There are many ways you can dispose of your old playground. What are the things you can do with the old parts? Check below.
 
Donate it. You can easily find others who are willing to take old but functional playsets. You can list it online or contact local grounds where you can donate it.
 
Sell it. If you still have functional pieces with you, you can easily sell them online. There are many online platforms where you can put your listing. In this case, the buyer will be the one to shoulder the shipping.
 
Ask for help from the local landfill. For very old and broken pieces of playsets, you can ask help on how to dispose of them properly from the local landfill in your city. Most of the time, they will be the ones to get the equipment from home and dispose of it.
 
Call a junk removal company. A junk removal company has trained professionals who know how to properly dispose of a playground. They can be the ones to take care of everything for you, from removal to disposal. This could be the easiest way to do it if you simply don’t have the time to take care of everything.
