- 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

PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL
Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?
Here’s what Fresno asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Fresno rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes, as written. Fresno requires a permit to demolish or remove any building or structure; its 120-square-foot shed exemption is for building one. Ask Building Permits, 559-621-8084.
City of Fresno Planning: Single Family Homes (permit FAQ) ↗City of Fresno: Building and Safety ↗
City pickup
No for a hired teardown. Operation Clean Up excludes debris from private contract work, but takes lumber cut to 4 feet. City customers can drop C&D free at CARTS on Free Dump days.
City of Fresno: Operation Clean Up ↗City of Fresno: Residential Services ↗
Haul it yourself
Cedar Avenue Recycling and Transfer Station (CARTS). Posted rates: general C&D $90 a ton; wood/brush $90 a ton; brick $65 a ton; clean concrete or asphalt free; clean metal free. Every load also pays a $16 environmental fee and a $10 fuel surcharge; hard-to-handle loads have a $160 minimum.

Do I need a permit?Fresno 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 for the shed
The City's permit FAQ says a permit is required to build, remodel, repair, demolish, remove or move any building or structure. The exemption for one-story tool and storage sheds up to 120 square feet and 12 feet tall, at least 3 feet from property lines, is listed under when a building permit is not required; it doesn't say it covers demolition. The 2026 fee schedule lists a residential demolition at $102.72 for plan check and $192.92 for inspection. Apply through the City's Accela online portal or the permit counter at City Hall.
City of Fresno Planning: Single Family Homes (permit FAQ) ↗City of Fresno Master Fee Schedule: Planning & Development, effective July 1, 2026 (PDF) ↗City of Fresno: Building and Safety ↗
A waste plan comes with permitted demolition
Building & Safety's Waste Management Plan for demolition must be approved before the permit issues. It requires recycling at least 65% of the C&D debris and keeping weight tickets for the final inspection. The form lets you name a franchise hauler or a self-hauler.
City of Fresno Building & Safety: Waste Management Plan for C&D Debris (PDF) ↗
Wiring and gas need their own permits
If the shed has a circuit, water line or gas line, plan on a separate electrical or plumbing permit to disconnect it. Building and Safety offers same-day express permits for electrical, mechanical and plumbing work at the counter.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Fresno pick up shed debris?
Not from a hired teardown. Operation Clean Up comes once a year, up to 10 cubic yards, and takes lumber, wood fencing and metal pipe cut into 4-foot pieces. It excludes treated wood and "materials resulting from private contract work and major remodeling work done by contractor or owner," and limits concrete to two wheelbarrow loads. The free One-Time Bulky Item Pickup takes single household items such as furniture and water heaters, not lumber. Book either through 311 or (559) 621-CITY.

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 ↗

Only franchised haulers may collect demolition debris for pay
Fresno's code says no one may privately collect another person's waste without a City franchise, and C&D debris in roll-off bins may be hauled only by the City's non-exclusive roll-off franchisees. The franchise exception covers hauling in your own truck or trailer "without compensation for such transportation." For permitted jobs of 8 cubic yards or more, a contractor doing the demolition may haul the debris itself only if hauling is incidental (under 30% of the job cost), uses its own crew and equipment, and carries no separate fee. Building & Safety's waste plan says only approved franchise haulers may be hired to haul C&D off a jobsite. A homeowner hauling their own shed debris fits the self-haul exception. The code doesn't say how a paid shed teardown below the permit threshold is treated.

Historic districts need Commission approval
In a Fresno historic district, or for a designated Historic Resource, the code bars demolishing or removing any property without a City permit, Design Review Committee review and written approval from the Historic Preservation Commission. The permit desk must forward demolition applications for these properties to the Commission's staff before processing. Check your property's status with Planning, (559) 621-8277, before an older outbuilding comes down.
Fresno Municipal Code 12-1618: Historic district permit review ↗City of Fresno Planning: Single Family Homes (permit FAQ) ↗
Free dump days at CARTS
City of Fresno solid waste customers get Free Dump Events six times a year at the Cedar Avenue Recycling and Transfer Station, one full-size pickup load per household. Construction and demolition debris, scrap metal and clean concrete are on the accepted list; bring a State ID and proof you're a City customer. Dates change each season, so check the Residential Services page first.
Asbestos release before a demolition permit
The San Joaquin Valley Air District requires a Demolition Permit Release form, signed by the District, for any demolition that needs a building department demolition permit. Its form has a box for a single residence and its outbuildings. A single-family home may be exempt from the federal asbestos notice depending on past and future use, so ask the District's Central Region office in Fresno, 559-230-6000. Old shingles or siding may contain asbestos.

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.
