Short answer: A garage or shed demolition produces steel framing and roofing, roller doors, tracks and springs, aluminium door frames, old tools and shelving, fencing and sometimes old machinery or vehicles, and the bulk is steel, so it is worth cutting or collecting it into manageable pieces and selling it by weight, with any suspected asbestos sheeting left alone for a licensed removalist.
