The council says no
Tameside's bulky collection lists sheds, greenhouses, fence panels, large gates and concrete posts among the things it will not collect (checked against Tameside Council and Recycle for Greater Manchester pages on 2 November 2026).
Dismantling it
- Empty it and check for wasps and nests
- Take off the felt and roof boards
- Remove side panels one at a time with a helper
- Bend over or pull out nails
- Keep wood, metal and glass in separate piles for the tip
Wood and timber from your own home can go to Ash Road in Droylsden or Bayley Street in Stalybridge. A base of slabs or concrete counts as rubble, limited to five 900mm by 600mm sacks a visit. Greenhouse glass should be wrapped and handled with care.

Grey corrugated cement sheets on older sheds and garages may contain asbestos. Do not break them. Neither Tameside tip takes asbestos: see asbestos disposal in Tameside.
