Shed, Playset & Trampoline Removal in Indianapolis (2026 Guide)
Backyard structures look small until you try to move one. A 10x12 shed has 600+ square feet of material; a wooden playset has 40+ bolted connections; a trampoline has dozens of tensioned springs. Here's how Indianapolis removal actually works.
Shed removal in Indianapolis
Most residential sheds in Indy are wood-framed on a pressure-treated skid or concrete pad. Metal 'Rubbermaid'-style sheds are easier — they unscrew in 30 minutes. The big variable is what's inside: we don't haul paint, gas cans, or propane (Marion County HHW takes those for free).
| Shed size | Type | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| 8x8 or smaller | Metal / plastic | $249 – $349 |
| 8x10 to 10x12 | Wood frame | $379 – $549 |
| 12x16+ | Wood frame, gable roof | $579 – $899 |
| Concrete pad removal | Add-on | +$200 – $500 |
Playset & swing set removal
Wooden playsets (Rainbow, Gorilla, Cedar Summit) average $299–$449 to remove. The pressure-treated lumber is usually too weathered to resell, but we strip the metal hardware for scrap and bag the sand or rubber mulch for you to reuse.
Trampoline removal
Most Indy trampolines come apart in 25 minutes — pop the springs, unclip the safety net, unbolt the legs. Flat rate: $149–$199 including hauling the steel frame for scrap.

FAQ
Do I need a permit to remove a shed in Indianapolis?
Generally no — Marion County doesn't require a permit for demolition of an accessory structure under 200 sq ft. Some HOAs (Geist, Eagle Creek, parts of Carmel) require board notification.
Can you haul a shed that's too close to a fence?
Yes, usually. We bring hand-demo tools for tight-access jobs. If the structure shares a wall with your fence we'll flag it before starting.
What happens to the metal?
Steel shed roofs, playset hardware, and trampoline frames go to OmniSource on Pendleton Pike. We pass the scrap credit back as a small discount on your final invoice.
