PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL
Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?
Here’s what Birmingham asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Birmingham rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. Birmingham's code bars tearing down any building or structure without a demolition permit; a Class I permit is $150. Ask Permits at 205-254-2904 about the small accessory-structure exemption.
City of Birmingham 2024 Technical Code (PDF) ↗City of Birmingham Permitting ↗
City pickup
No. Public Works says the City will not haul building material cut down by private contractors. Furniture and appliances stored in the shed can be stacked out for scheduled bulk trash.
City of Birmingham: Department of Public Works ↗Birmingham General Code Ch. 3: Solid Waste Collection and Disposal ↗
Haul it yourself
Eastern Area Landfill (City of Birmingham). Not published online. City code has Public Works set landfill charges and post them at each landfill, and caps the fee for a resident's own domestic garbage or rubbish at $5 per vehicle, or $10 with a trailer.

Do I need a permit?Birmingham demolition rules, utilities and property checks.
The requirements depend on the structure, the work and the property’s jurisdiction. These are the official starting points for checking your job. Confirm with the building office before teardown day. How shed demolition permits work ↗
A demolition permit comes first
Birmingham's building code says no building may be wrecked, demolished or torn down in the city limits without a permit from the Building Official. Class I covers anything two stories or less and up to 100,000 cubic feet, which covers a backyard shed, and costs $150. The application asks for the building's type, dimensions and location. The code also requires a surety bond before a demolition permit is issued: $2,000 for a single-family residence.
Utilities off and lines located
No demolition work may start until the utility companies have disconnected every utility to the structure. A building sewer must be plugged through Jefferson County Environmental Services, inspected and approved first. The code also points applicants to the state law on locating underground utilities, so call 811 before pulling posts or footings.
Slab out, lot graded
Once a building or structure is demolished, the permit holder must leave the lot safe and clean: organic material, trash and weeds removed, holes filled with inorganic fill under 8 inches of earth, and all concrete slabs removed with the lot graded so water won't stand.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Birmingham pick up shed debris?
No. Public Works says the City will not haul building material or trees cut down by private contractors. Bulk trash runs on a posted neighborhood schedule, and the City code lets bulky objects such as furniture or appliances go out neatly stacked, so the shed's old contents can go that way. Set bulk trash out by 6 a.m. on your collection day.
City of Birmingham: Department of Public Works ↗Birmingham General Code Ch. 3: Solid Waste Collection and Disposal ↗City of Birmingham: Garbage, Recycle & Bulk Trash Schedules ↗
Drop-off and recycling options
If you’d rather haul it yourself, sort the load first: clean wood, metal, roofing, concrete and household contents often go to different places or cost different amounts. Call ahead before hiring a trailer. What can be recycled ↗
Eastern Area Landfill (City of Birmingham)
2787 Alton Dr., Birmingham, AL
City-run landfill operated by the Department of Public Works. The City doesn't publish online which materials it takes, so confirm that shed lumber, siding and shingles are accepted before you load up.

Before you go: Open Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to noon. Call Public Works at (205) 254-6316 to confirm what it accepts and the rate.

What else should I know in Birmingham?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
No franchised hauler for shed debris; crews need a City business license
Birmingham's solid waste chapter has no franchise or private hauler permit for demolition debris. The City licenses commercial solid waste facilities and transfer stations through the Council, not the crews that haul to them. The building code does require every contractor working under a permit to pay City license fees and taxes. Public Works says the City won't haul building material cut down by private contractors, so the crew that tears a shed down takes the debris away.

Local historic districts review demolition permits
The City runs 44 historic districts. In its local historic districts, such as Highland Park, Forest Park, Norwood and Avondale Park, the Design Review Committee must review any change that needs a demolition permit. The City's design review manual says a denied demolition permit can be held up for as long as 12 months. Call Historic Preservation Manager Hannah Garmon at 205-254-2424 before you apply.
City of Birmingham: Historic Preservation & Urban Design Division ↗City of Birmingham: Design Review Manual for Properties in Local Historic Districts (PDF) ↗City of Birmingham: Historic Preservation & Urban Design Division Staff ↗
County Health runs the asbestos rules
The Jefferson County Department of Health enforces the county's air pollution rules, which require an asbestos inspection before any demolition or renovation. Notice is required for every demolition of commercial buildings or residential buildings with more than four units; a home shed isn't on that list, but the inspection rule covers any demolition. Ask the Air & Radiation Protection Division at (205) 930-1276.
Four City roll-off sites for extra household waste
Public Works lets residents use roll-off dumpsters at four Waste District yards for extra waste that won't fit in the City cart, including the Eastern district at 307 96th St. North. The City doesn't say whether building material is allowed there, so call (205) 254-6316 before bringing shed lumber.

Photos that explain the job.
- The whole shed, with the roof, doors and rough dimensions
- What it sits on: slab, gravel, pavers, skids or blocks
- The route out: gates, steps, slopes and the narrowest gap
- Anything stored inside, and any wiring, lights or a water line
Tell us whether the shed has power. A licensed electrician should disconnect and make the circuit safe before teardown. Say which items stay, and whether the slab or footings go too.

Is a small shed exempt from the permit?
It isn't clear. The demolition section says no building or structure may be torn down without a permit. A separate list of work that needs no permit includes accessory structures for one- and two-family homes under 200 square feet when the Planning Division approves. The code doesn't say whether that applies to tearing one down, so call the permit office at 205-254-2904 before you start.
City of Birmingham 2024 Technical Code (PDF) ↗City of Birmingham Permitting ↗
Can I haul the debris myself?
Yes. The City's Eastern Area Landfill at 2787 Alton Dr. is open weekdays 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday mornings; the City code has rates posted at the landfill. Shelby County's landfill in Columbiana publishes a C&D rate of $45 a ton for out-of-county loads. Jefferson County lists Mt. Olive Landfill in Gardendale. Cover your load either way.

Where can a metal shed go?
To a scrap yard. SA Recycling on Vanderbilt Road buys steel, aluminum and other metals and is open weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday mornings. Strip off wood floors and shingles first. J&F Haul and Deliver also says it recycles the metal sheds it removes.
SA Recycling: Birmingham, Alabama ↗J&F Haul and Deliver: Shed Removal in Birmingham ↗
What happens to the concrete slab?
The City's demolition rules say all concrete slabs must be removed and the lot graded after a structure comes down, so plan for the pad. Big Dig Demolition breaks up and hauls slabs, and J&F Haul and Deliver says it leaves the pad clean. Ask any crew whether its quote includes breaking out the slab.
