We take it down.
We haul it away.

- 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

We check what Chula Vista 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 Chula Vista asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Chula Vista rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. Chula Vista requires a demolition permit whenever a building or structure is demolished. Its 120-square-foot shed exemption is written for building permits only. Ask (619) 476-2332.

City pickup
No for teardown debris. The City says construction, remodeling and demolition debris must not go in the trash. Republic's free bulky pickup takes items like scrap metal and lawn furniture.

Do I need a permit?Chula Vista 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, with no shed size cutoff
The City's demolition page quotes CVMC 15.06.080: no building or structure may be removed or demolished without a permit from the Building Official. Form 4551 exempts one-story tool and storage sheds of 120 square feet or less from building permits, but neither page says that exemption covers a teardown. The application needs a New Construction Worksheet, the San Diego Regional Hazardous Materials Questionnaire, and utility disconnect notices for structures connected to a utility. The fee for demolishing an entire structure is $404 ($123 intake and $281 inspection).

A Waste Management Report comes first
Every project needs a Waste Management Report approved by Environmental Services before a demolition permit is issued; there is a short form for projects under 1,000 square feet. The C&D ordinance requires recycling 100% of inert material such as concrete and at least 65% of everything else. Performance deposits apply mainly to projects of 10,000 square feet or more. Questions: (619) 691-5122.
Wiring, older properties and digging
Form 4551 lists removal of electrical wiring as work that needs no electrical permit, while installing, repairing or relocating wiring does need a utility permit. Planning reviews demolition of buildings older than 50 years and work on historic properties; the Historic Preservation Manager is at (619) 409-5472. Before pulling posts or footings, contact DigAlert (811).

Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Chula Vista pick up shed debris?
Not as a teardown. The City lists debris from construction, remodeling or demolition among items to keep out of the trash and to ask Republic Services about. Republic's free bulky pickup takes up to 10 items a week for cart customers, such as scrap metal and lawn furniture, with 24 hours' notice, and charges extra for heavy items a hand truck can't move. The franchise guidelines say regular service won't take more than 200 pounds of demolition debris. Call (619) 421-9400.

Drop-off and recycling options

Republic Services holds an exclusive franchise, and homeowners may self-haul
Chula Vista gives Republic Services an exclusive franchise to collect and dispose of solid waste for a fee, and the agreement's definition of solid waste includes demolition and construction wastes. Its construction and demolition guidelines say homeowners should call Republic for a debris bin or may haul the waste to a recycler or landfill themselves. Larger generators may self-haul only with their own personnel and equipment. The agreement doesn't say whether an independent removal company may haul shed debris for a fee. Questions: Environmental Services, (619) 691-5122.

Two free landfill trips a year
Homes with Republic cart service get two free landfill passes a year for Otay Landfill, each good for one load of up to 1 ton within 90 days. Request them at 619-482-4024 or pick them up at 891 Energy Way. Keep concrete, metal and clean wood separate in the load, and tie down a tarp.
City of Chula Vista: Bulky Item & Landfill Passes ↗City of Chula Vista: Self-Hauling Options ↗
Treated wood can't go to the landfill
Shed floors and posts are often pressure-treated. The City's self-hauling page lists treated wood, paint, tires and hazardous waste as not accepted at the landfill; call Environmental Services at 619-691-5122 for disposal options.
Paint and chemicals go to the South Bay HHW facility
Clear old paint, pesticides, pool chemicals and batteries out of the shed first. Chula Vista residents can drop them off free, with no appointment, at the South Bay Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, 1800 Maxwell Road, on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. City of San Diego residents can't use it.
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.

Do I need an asbestos survey?
Probably not for a home's shed, but confirm. San Diego County APCD Rule 1206 exempts demolition at a residential building or structure with four or fewer dwelling units. The rule doesn't name detached sheds, and the City's demolition application still asks for the regional hazardous materials questionnaire.

What happens to the concrete pad?
Ask before you book. Crisan says it can remove the slab under a shed and grade the spot. The City's C&D rules require recycling all inert material, and Otay's C&D and inert processing facility is on the regional list of certified recyclers.

Crisan and JUSTJUNK describe dismantling sheds and hauling the debris. LoadUp says some light disassembly may be needed and offers it as an add-on. College HUNKS lists storage sheds among items it hauls but doesn't describe teardown.
