How are the building materials of the old garden house properly disposed of?
Has the gazebo gotten old and a renovation is not worthwhile anymore, often only the dismantling of the old house remains. There is a lot of garbage that has to be removed separately and expertly. Careful separation is mandatory, because otherwise the recycling centers will no longer accept the building rubble.
The wood
Since the boards of the garden house were almost always painted with wood preservatives, the burning of this is not a good idea. Since many pollutants would escape into the air, it is prohibited.
First, nail out all wooden parts and then sort them into:
Depending on the region, you can bring the sorted boards to the recycling center or the special landfill. Information about this is given by the municipalities.
metalwork
You will be astonished how much metal is produced during dismantling. Be sure to collect this material separately. In some regions you take away the valuable raw material of the scrap merchants and you even get a few euros for it.
The roofing materials
In older summerhouses they can sometimes contain asbestos.
The disposal of roofing felt is not always easy. Smaller quantities may be disposed of with household waste. If larger runs are required, they should be rolled up and tied up tightly. Often the recycling center then takes on the waste. If this is not the case, you must bring the roofing felt to the special landfill. The disposal is charged here, but this is not too expensive.
Tips
If you are too heavy on the waste separation and the independent removal of building materials, you can rent a construction container. If necessary, you can even have the entire demolition made by a company, which is advisable especially for old garden sheds with asbestos components.
