SHED REMOVAL IN LONG BEACH

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 Long Beach 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 Long Beach 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

Send a photo.

Show us the shed and the way out, and add your Long Beach ZIP code. No payment, and it isn’t a booking.

PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL

Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?

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

Long Beach rules at a glance

Demolition permit

Yes. The city's demolition bulletin requires a permit to tear down a building, plus a recycling plan and a deposit of at least $1,712. The 64 sq ft shed exemption covers building one; call 562-570-7648.

Long Beach IB-047: Obtaining a Demolition Permit ↗Long Beach Construction & Demolition Debris Recycling Program ↗Long Beach permit-related questions ↗

City pickup

Not confirmed. City-serviced homes get 12 free special collections a year for bulky items up to 72 x 48 inches, but no city page says whether shed lumber counts. Call (562) 570-2876.

Do I need a permit?Long Beach 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

Demolition permit and its sign-offs

Long Beach's bulletin IB-047 says a demolition permit is required when a building is demolished and removed in its entirety. Before it's issued you need Planning screening, Southern California Edison and Long Beach Energy Resources sign-off for any electric or gas disconnect, a Water Department review, and the health department's vermin release. A licensed demolition contractor with a Long Beach business license pulls the permit. The permit FAQ exempts building a shed of 64 sq ft or less and 8 ft or less with no wiring or plumbing, but it says nothing about tearing one down.

02

Recycling plan, deposit and receipts

A Construction and Demolition Management Plan applies to all demolition projects of any valuation. The refundable deposit is 3% of project value or $56,999, whichever is less, with a $1,712 minimum, plus a $230 non-refundable fee for residential projects. At least 65% of the debris must be diverted. Within 90 days you submit recycle receipts from a certified mixed-debris facility; receipts marked refuse, waste, MSW or trash, and hauler receipts, are not accepted.

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

Will Long Beach pick up shed debris?

Not confirmed. Each City-serviced account gets 12 free special collections a year for furniture, appliances and other oversized or bulky items, up to 8 large items or 25 bags or bundles per pickup. Items can't exceed 72 x 48 inches, and crews won't enter private property. The city's pages don't say whether shed lumber, siding or shingles count. If you have a demolition permit, debris must go to a certified recycler anyway to get your deposit back.

Long Beach Special Collection 101 ↗Long Beach Construction & Demolition Debris Recycling Program ↗

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 ↗

EDCO Recycling & Transfer – Signal Hill

2755 California Ave., Signal Hill, CA 90755

Open to the public for self-hauled waste disposal. It does not list what debris it takes, so confirm wood, shingles and concrete before you go. It also hosts a household hazardous waste collection center on scheduled Saturdays.

Fees: Self-haul rates are not published; it says the cost is reasonable. Cash or check only.

Before you go: Public waste disposal is open Monday to Saturday 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Use the self-haul entrance on 28th St. Call (562) 597-0608.

EDCO Recycling & Transfer – Signal Hill ↗

South Gate Transfer Station (LA County Sanitation Districts)

9530 Garfield Avenue, South Gate, CA 90280

A public transfer station that accepts only non-hazardous municipal solid and inert waste. It does not name sheds or demolition debris, so bring a dismantled, sorted load with no paint, chemicals or liquids, and confirm first.

Only City-permitted haulers may carry debris for pay

Long Beach requires anyone who removes or hauls refuse for hire in the city to first get a refuse transportation permit from Public Works; holding the permit makes the company a non-exclusive City franchisee. The code's only exemptions are City employees and contractors on City-funded programs. The City's C&D page says hauling refuse, recyclables or organics in Long Beach must be done by a permitted hauler or self-hauled, and that using a hauler not on the City's list can forfeit the C&D recycling deposit. The current list has eight companies, including EDCO, Athens, Republic Services, WM and CR&R; no junk-removal or shed company is on it. Self-haul isn't defined for demolition debris, and no page says whether a contractor hauling debris from its own teardown counts. A removal company like Shed Gone that charges to haul shed debris appears to need the permit. Questions: Long Beach Recycles, (562) 570-2876, or the C&D program, 562-570-7648 or construct-demo@longbeach.gov.

Rodents need a health release first

Before Long Beach issues a demolition permit, the Health and Human Services Department checks that the building is free of vermin, and you bring its release to the Development Permit Center. Sheds often house rats, so book this early. Health is at 2525 Grand Ave., (562) 570-7600.

Long Beach IB-047: Obtaining a Demolition Permit ↗

Historic districts and the coastal zone

The Planning Bureau screens every demolition permit, including sites in a historic district or the Coastal Zone. Check your address before you set a date; Planning is at (562) 570-6194.

Free drop-off for shed chemicals

Old paint, thinners, weed killer, motor oil and pool chemicals can't go in carts or debris loads. Long Beach residents can drop them free at the EDCO Environmental Collection Center in Signal Hill on scheduled Saturdays (Oct. 24, Nov. 14 and Dec. 12, 2026) or at the Gaffey Street S.A.F.E. Center in San Pedro on weekends.

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.

What will it cost?How shed removal is priced, and what other local companies publish.

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.

Other companies’ advertised prices

911 Junk California is the only company here that publishes a shed price: $400 to $800 or more. LoadUp shows a $94 to $1,559 range and sets the price at booking. Extractors publishes general trailer-load prices, and Evict Your Junk and Junk Tigers quote each job. None of them says its price covers the city permit, the C&D deposit or an asbestos survey.

911 Junk California ↗

$400–$800+

Its pricing page says shed demolition and removal ranges from $400 to $800 or more, depending on size and materials. General junk loads are priced separately by truck volume.

LoadUp ↗

$94–$1,559

The shed page gives a $94 to $1,559 range that depends on size, condition, location and permits. The real price is shown when you book, and it's 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.

These are the other companies’ own advertised prices, checked October 8, 2026. They are not our prices and not a citywide average.

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.

Can I tear it down myself?

Ask first. The city's FAQ lets a resident owner pull permits for construction, alteration or repair of the house and accessory buildings, but IB-047 says a licensed demolition contractor obtains the demolition permit. Call the permit center at 562-570-7648 before you start.

Long Beach permit-related questions ↗Long Beach IB-047: Obtaining a Demolition Permit ↗

Where does each load go?

American Industrial Services on Cherry Avenue is a certified mixed C&D processor. EDCO in Signal Hill takes public self-haul loads. South Gate Transfer Station charges $123.12 a ton with a 1-ton minimum. Clean concrete can go to a recycler such as Martin Marietta's Long Beach yard. Call each first.

Who tears it down, and who only hauls?

911 Junk California, Extractors, Junk Tigers and Evict Your Junk advertise teardown and haul-off. Evict Your Junk will also haul debris if you demolish the shed yourself. LoadUp says light disassembly may be needed and big demolition jobs may be outside its scope.

Will the company handle the deposit paperwork?

Don't assume it. None of the listed companies' pages mentions the Long Beach C&D plan or deposit. The city won't accept hauler receipts, so ask the crew to bring back recycle receipts from a certified facility showing tonnage and your address.

Long Beach Construction & Demolition Debris Recycling Program ↗Long Beach IB-033: Construction and Demolition Management Plan ↗

What happens to the concrete pad?

Ask before you book. Extractors lists removal of anchors, slab fragments and the base. 911 Junk California's cost guide adds $800 to $3,000 for a slab.
