A backyard shed that has started to lean, a wooden playset the kids have outgrown, or a metal storage unit that rusted through can sit on a Franklin lot long after it is useful. Milwaukee County Junk Removal takes down or hauls these structures, along with the contents you want gone, and leaves the yard easier to mow and use.
This page is for shed and playset work in Franklin. Related garage work is covered on our garage cleanout service page and in our post on garage and shed cleanouts in Oak Creek and Franklin. Other suburban services are listed on the services hub.
Sheds, playsets, and related yard structures we haul
We remove wooden and metal sheds, plastic storage units, swing sets, playhouses, sandboxes that are no longer used, and many trampoline frames once they are taken down or clearly ready to go. If the shed is still standing, the photos should show all four sides, the roof, and the path out to the driveway. If you have already taken it apart, show the pile and the yard gate.
In Franklin, contents matter too. Old tools, bags of soil, leftover lumber, and shelves inside the shed can go in the same visit when they appear in the pictures. If you want to keep a Franklin mower or bicycle, move those items out or mark them before we arrive. We do not treat this as a full landscaping job, and we do not pour or patch a new pad.
How a shed or playset quote works
Send photos to 414-301-1028, say the property is in Franklin, and mention any fence, slope, or tight side yard the crew will have to use. We take texts and calls 24/7. You get a free quote that, ordinarily, returns in a few minutes. No appointment is locked in until you have accepted the price.
In Franklin, on the visit we take the structure and the items you included, load them, and leave the area we worked as tidy as the job allows. At the close of the stop, payment is cash or credit. Wood and metal, along with other materials, are sorted for recycling or disposal when the load makes that possible. There is no charge for the Franklin shed estimate itself.
Backyards, fences, and access in Franklin
Franklin lots are often wider and deeper than lots closer to Milwaukee, especially near the Root River Parkway, along Rawson Avenue, and on the edges of the city toward St. Martins Road. That extra space can help a crew work, but a tall fence, a locked gate, or a playset tucked behind a deck can still slow the carry if we do not see it in advance.
Some properties have a gravel side drive or a gate wide enough for us to get closer to the backyard. Others require a longer walk from the street. Include that path in at least one photo. In Franklin, if the shed sits on a concrete pad you want left in place, say so. If the pad should go too, show its edges and thickness as best you can in a picture, and we will tell you whether it is part of the same quote.
Playsets near trees or close to a property line need a little extra care. In Franklin, we work from your yard, not a neighbor’s, unless you have clear permission and you tell us before the visit.
Questions about Franklin shed and playset hauling
Do I have to dismantle the Franklin shed before you come?
No. In Franklin, standing sheds are a normal request. A pre-taken-down pile is often faster, so send photos of the structure as it actually is today, whether it still stands or already lies in a stack.
What if the playset is bolted into the ground?
Mention the anchors or concrete footings in your message and show them if you can. In Franklin, we will tell you in the quote what we can take and what may have to stay in the soil.
Can you empty the shed but leave the building?
Yes. Tell us plainly if you want the contents hauled and the shed left standing, and we will quote a cleanout instead of taking the whole structure.
Is a permit required?
We do not issue permits or speak for the city. If you have been told a permit is needed to remove a structure, please handle that before the visit or ask the city directly. In Franklin, we come to haul what you have approval to take.
