SHED REMOVAL IN CATALINA FOOTHILLS

We take it down.
We haul it away.

How it works ↗

Shed removal is all we do. Wood, metal or resin, falling apart or still standing, we take your Catalina Foothills shed apart and leave the space clean.

  • Taking the shed apart: roof, walls, doors and floor
  • The stuff inside, if you want it gone too
  • Loading, haul-away and disposal, with metal and clean wood recycled where it’s accepted
  • The slab, gravel pad or footings, if you want them out
  • Sweeping and raking the spot clean

We check what Catalina Foothills requires for your shed before any work starts, and any power to the shed must be disconnected by a licensed electrician before removal day. The local rules are below.

01

PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL

Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?

Here’s what Catalina Foothills asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.

Catalina Foothills rules at a glance

Demolition permit

Yes. Pima County, not a city, issues it: the County's list says demolition of a building or structure needs a permit and names no size exemption. Call 520-724-9000 for the fee.

Pima County: Do I Need a Permit? ↗Pima County Development Services ↗

City pickup

No. Foothills homes hire private trash haulers or self-haul, and County code doesn't require haulers to take building debris.

Pima County DEQ: Waste & Recycling ↗Pima County Code 7.25.030-7.25.040 (exemptions, acceptable waste) ↗

Do I need a permit?Catalina Foothills 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 ↗

01

Pima County's demolition permit

The County's 'Do I Need a Permit?' page lists 'Demolition of building or structure' as needing a permit and offers no square-foot cutoff. It also says floodplain rules can add a Floodplain Use Permit; the Regional Flood Control District (520-724-4600) can check your lot.

Pima County: Do I Need a Permit? ↗

Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.

Will Catalina Foothills pick up shed debris?

No. There's no city or County trash service here. Pima County tells residents outside Tucson city limits to hire a solid waste hauler or self-haul. County Code 7.25.040 treats materials from the repair, excavation or construction of buildings as 'not considered acceptable for collection,' so a hauler takes them only if it chooses. Ask your hauler before you stack shed pieces at the curb.

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 ↗

Hauling for hire takes a PDEQ license; there's no franchise

No single company holds hauling rights in unincorporated Pima County. County Code 7.25.020 requires every waste collector to license its business and each vehicle, at $162 a year plus $79 per vehicle. One exemption covers collectors that haul only the wastes in 7.25.040B2, such as materials from repairing or building structures. None of the three companies listed here is on PDEQ's permitted hauler list dated June 18, 2025.

Hillside lots and desert plants

The Foothills were laid out as low-density lots that kept the desert plants and natural terrain. Pima County requires a grading permit for grading on a slope of 15% or more, and its permit page says Native Plant Preservation Ordinance rules can apply. If pulling a slab or footings means regrading a sloped yard, ask Development Services first.

Catalina Foothills, Arizona (Wikipedia) ↗Pima County: Do I Need a Permit? ↗

Is your address in the Foothills?

The community runs north of River Road, east of Oracle Road and west of Sabino Creek, but mailing addresses there say Tucson. Check whether your parcel is in the County or the City of Tucson before you apply for anything.

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.

Shed Gone

Priced from your photos

A small empty resin shed and a large timber shed on a concrete slab are different jobs, so we don’t publish one number. The price depends on the shed’s size and material, what’s inside, what it sits on, and the route from the shed to the truck.

Does an old shed need an asbestos survey?

Usually not under the federal rules PDEQ enforces: its fact sheet says demolishing any single residential building isn't covered unless it's part of a public or commercial project, and no PDEQ notification is needed when the rules don't apply. Whether a detached shed counts as part of the home wasn't stated; ask PDEQ at 520-724-7400.

Where do paint cans and pesticides from the shed go?

The City's household hazardous waste drop-off at Los Reales takes them Thursday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., for $15 from unincorporated Pima County residents. Antifreeze, batteries, oil and paint are free at Pima County landfills and transfer stations.

How do I know a hauler will dump legally?

Pima County suggests hiring a contractor or hauler with a permit, getting their name, address and phone number, paying by check, and asking for a landfill receipt before final payment. Dumping anywhere but an approved site is illegal.
