before you consider demolishing the shed, have u thought about converting it to a greenhouse. If that doesnt work, take a wriecking bar and start knocking down the ceiling. then start at the walls. if a wrecking bar isnt workin out, use a circular saw with a metal cutting blade. if u cut neatly these will stack nicely. lastly, to get rid of the concrete, use a jackhammer available for rent at most national home improvement stores

3 choices for the shed

take it apart
throw it in a truck as in and haul to the landfill
call a ssrap metal person in the yellow pages and tell them
they can have it for free if they haul it off.

for the concrete:
clean it and turn it into a small patio with chairs and a keg
Box it in – fill in the box with dirt and plant flowers in it
break it up and haul it off. (not worth it really)
Put a water fountain on the concrete area with cement benches.

It shouldn't take too long to dismantle it using a drill or cordless drill with a screwdriver bit. Once you dismantle it, you take it to your local landfill.

It's probably just screwed together, get out the drill and start at the top and work down. The slab is probably 3-4 inches thick but you could break it up with a sledge hammer, if your not that ambitios than HD rents jack hammers. Good Luck

Dismantle it by removing the screws. Try to sell it or give it away.
