SHED REMOVAL IN PHOENIX
We take it down.
We haul it away.
Shed removal is all we do. Wood, metal or resin, falling apart or still standing, we take your Phoenix 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 Phoenix 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.

PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL
Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?
Here’s what Phoenix asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Phoenix rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. Phoenix requires a separate demolition permit for each building or structure, and its handout lists no size exemption. The 2026 fee for a single-family lot, including accessory buildings, is $98.
Phoenix Demolition Permit External Process (TRT/DOC/00442) ↗Phoenix PDD fee schedule (effective 1/20/2026) ↗
City pickup
No, not for a torn-down shed. Bulk trash refuses construction or demolition materials over 25 pounds or 4 feet long, plus roofing shingles and concrete.
Haul it yourself
27th Avenue Transfer Station (City of Phoenix). City of Phoenix residential trash customers: one load of up to one ton a month free with a city services bill and photo ID; over one ton, $55 a ton. Everyone else: $55 a ton, $40 minimum. Unsecured loads: $20 penalty. Deposits are cash only.
4 drop-off options →What it costs
Shed Gone: a price from your photos, with teardown, haul-away and cleanup included.
Others here: Strong Junk Removal publishes $290 to $390 for a wood shed up to 8x10 and $400 to $540 for 10x12 or larger. LoadUp shows $94 to $1,559. Others quote by truck space or by job.

Do I need a permit?Phoenix 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 ↗
One permit per shed, then a final inspection
Demolition can't start until the permit is issued. If you are removing some but not all structures on a lot, only a site plan is needed. The permit expires if the work, including clearing all debris, isn't done within 60 days. Call AIRS at (602) 495-0800 for the final inspection; the demolition isn't complete until it passes.
Phoenix Demolition Permit External Process (TRT/DOC/00442) ↗
The 200 sq ft shed exemption is for building, not tearing down
The Phoenix Building Construction Code exempts building a one-story tool or storage shed of 200 square feet or less from a permit. The demolition handout does not repeat that exemption, so don't assume a small shed can come down without one. Ask Planning & Development at 602-262-7811.
Phoenix Building Construction Code: work exempt from permit (TRT/DOC/00618) ↗Phoenix Demolition Permit External Process (TRT/DOC/00442) ↗
Old siding and asbestos at the transfer station
City transfer stations take no friable asbestos. Non-friable asbestos material, such as some old cement siding, needs prior approval; call 602-262-6251 before you load it.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Phoenix pick up shed debris?
Not as a whole shed. Bulk trash is by appointment only, four times a year, in one pile of up to 10 cubic yards. It refuses construction or demolition materials over 25 pounds or 4 feet long, metal over 20 pounds or 4 feet long, roofing shingles, concrete and more than two pallets. Setting a pile out more than 7 days early violates city ordinance. Book at 602-262-6251.
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 ↗

What else should I know in Phoenix?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
Historic properties go through Historic Preservation first
If your lot has an HP or HP-L zoning overlay, the demolition request goes through the Historic Preservation Office, and you bring three sets of plans instead of two. Properties on the National Register or flagged HP-eligible add a $300 review fee and a 30-day wait.
Phoenix Demolition Permit External Process (TRT/DOC/00442) ↗
Good lumber and shingles can go to reuse
The 27th Avenue Transfer Station has a drop-off area for reusable building materials, collected by the nonprofit Stardust Building Supplies. Its list includes lumber, siding, shingles, bricks and pavers, plus doors and windows. Ask the scale house attendant.
Deconstruction instead of demolition
The city's deconstruction brochure lists Habitat for Humanity of Central Arizona, Harvest Eco-Salvage and Stardust Building Supplies as crews that take apart structures so materials can be reused. It says donated materials may be tax deductible. Worth a call for a solid wood shed.
Asbestos rules usually skip a single-family shed
Maricopa County Air Quality regulates demolitions at single-family homes only in listed cases, such as two or more buildings in a larger project or a home ever used for business. The Phoenix handout still says to call the county's asbestos line at 602-506-6708 before applying for a permit.

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 photosA 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.
Start a quote from photos ↗Other companies’ advertised prices
Two listed companies publish a shed price for Phoenix. Strong Junk Removal lists $290 to $390 for a wood shed up to 8x10 or a prefab metal shed, and $400 to $540 for 10x12 or larger. LoadUp shows $94 to $1,559 and sets the price when you book. Junk Rescue and College HUNKS publish truck-space prices, not shed prices. The rest quote each job. None of these prices says it includes the city demolition permit.
LoadUp ↗
$94–$1,559The shed page gives a $94 to $1,559 range. The price is set when you book online and is lower for a shed that's already taken apart. Its national shed page says removal typically starts around $1,555; its local pages say an already-disassembled shed costs less.

When you compare quotes, ask for one written total that covers dismantling, hauling, disposal fees and cleanup, and ask whether the contents, the floor and the slab or footings are included. What shed removal costs ↗

COMMON QUESTIONS
A few more answers.
How much does shed removal cost in Phoenix?
Shed Gone prices each shed from your photos, with teardown, haul-away and cleanup included. Strong Junk Removal lists $290 to $390 for a small wood or metal shed and $400 to $540 for a large one.

Will the crew take the shed apart, or only haul it?
It depends on the company. Happy Hippo and Code 3 say they dismantle the shed and haul the pieces. LoadUp sells light disassembly as an add-on and asks for photos first. Strong Junk Removal says it tears down on site and sweeps up.
Happy Hippo Junk Removal shed removal ↗Code 3 Junk Removal shed tear down ↗LoadUp Phoenix shed removal ↗Strong Junk Removal light demolition ↗
Can I haul the debris myself for free?
Often, yes. Phoenix trash customers can drop off one load of up to one ton each calendar month at no charge at either city transfer station. Bring your city services bill and a photo ID. Anything over a ton is $55 a ton, and an unsecured load costs $20.
Where can I take a metal shed?
SA Recycling's Bradley Ranch yard at 3210 S. 19th Ave. takes scrap metal from the public with no appointment. Its list includes aluminum siding, metal fencing and metal shelves; a metal shed isn't named, so call 602-252-3275 first.
What about the concrete slab?
Bulk trash won't take concrete. Salt River Landfill accepts residential clean fill at $60 a ton with a $30 minimum, but adds a special handling fee for large concrete. Ask any crew to put slab removal in writing.
