SHED REMOVAL IN OCEANSIDE
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 Oceanside 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 Oceanside 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 Oceanside asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Oceanside rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. Oceanside's Building Division says a permit is required for all types of demolition work. Its 120-square-foot shed exemption covers building permits only. Ask (760) 435-3950.
City of Oceanside Building Division: FAQs ↗Oceanside City Code Chapter 6, Article I: Administrative Code (Municode) ↗City of Oceanside Building Division: Demolition Plan Submittal Requirements (PDF) ↗
City pickup
No. Waste Management's free large-item pickup bans construction debris, fencing and siding. It takes household items such as furniture and appliances.
Haul it yourself
Palomar Transfer Station (Republic Services). A fee is charged at the time of disposal. No rate is published online; Republic's flyer says fees may apply.

Do I need a permit?Oceanside 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 Building Division's FAQ says a permit is required for all types of demolition work. City Code 6.2 exempts one rear-yard tool or storage shed of 120 square feet or less, up to 8 feet tall, from building permits, but nothing says that covers a teardown. The FY 2026-2027 fee for a demolition permit is $284.55 ($31.84 plan check and $252.71 inspection). The application needs an SDG&E disconnect notice, an erosion control plan and a plot plan, and the permit is issued after the San Diego Regional Hazardous Materials Questionnaire is approved.

The foundation goes too, and the sewer gets capped
Final approval of a demolition permit requires removing every part of the building, including the foundation, finishing any stormwater measures, and capping a sewer lateral at the property line. Planning has special requirements for historical structures and for structures in the Coastal Zone. Before pulling posts or footings, contact DigAlert (811).
City of Oceanside Building Division: Demolition Plan Submittal Requirements (PDF) ↗DigAlert (Underground Service Alert of Southern California) ↗
A Waste Management Plan before the permit
Oceanside requires a Waste Management Plan before permits are issued for new construction, commercial renovation and most residential additions and alterations, and the plan form has a box for demolition. State law requires recycling at least 65% of project debris, and an affidavit is signed at final inspection. Whether a shed-only teardown needs the plan isn't stated.

Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Oceanside pick up shed debris?
Not as a teardown. Waste Management's large-item pickup, part of the City's contract, takes appliances, furniture, mattresses and similar items placed at the curb, and the City says construction debris, fencing and siding are absolutely prohibited. Book large items with WM at (760) 439-2824 ahead of your trash day.

What else should I know in Oceanside?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
Only the City's authorized collector may haul discarded materials
Oceanside City Code 13.3 says no one but the City or an authorized collector may collect or transport discarded materials, and the code counts C&D debris as discarded materials. The City's C&D recycling guide says Waste Management is the only hauler authorized to haul solid waste and recycling. The exceptions in 13.4 cover things like hazardous waste, landscapers' yard trimmings and donated recyclables; none names a demolition contractor hauling its own debris. A self-hauler may count as an authorized collector for material from its own premises only with the City's approval. Questions: Green Oceanside, (760) 435-4500.

Free large-item pickups, but not for teardown debris
Single-family and multi-family residents can book a free Large Item Landfill pickup of up to 5 items, 5 times a year, by calling Waste Management at (760) 439-2824. The City runs donation and landfill weeks twice a year with WM. Both are for household items; construction debris, fencing and siding are banned from large-item pickup.

Local recyclers for wood, concrete and metal
The City's C&D recycling guide lists buy-back and recycling sites around North County, including Moody's Recycling at 3210 Oceanside Blvd., Lee's Iron and Metal in Vista and EDCO's CDI facility in San Marcos. Reusable doors and windows can go to Habitat for Humanity in Escondido. The guide says to call first, since accepted materials change.
City of Oceanside: Construction and Demolition Recycling Guide (PDF) ↗
Paint and chemicals go to WM's HHW facility
Clear old paint, pesticides and pool chemicals out of the shed first. Oceanside residents can drop off household hazardous waste by appointment on two Saturdays a month at WM's facility, 2880 Industry Street. Call (760) 439-2824 and bring proof of residency.
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.

Where can I take the debris myself?
The closest is Palomar Transfer Station, 5960 El Camino Real in Carlsbad, which takes C&D materials like wood, metal, drywall and concrete for a fee; call 760-603-0153. EDCO's CDI facility in San Marcos takes mixed loads of wood, concrete and drywall. Escondido Resource Recovery is open to the public daily. None of them posts rates online.

What happens to the concrete pad?
It has to go if the shed was permitted: the City's final demolition approval requires removing the foundation. Dirty Deeds says small slabs are broken up and hauled as part of the job and larger ones are quoted separately. EDCO's CDI facility takes concrete.
City of Oceanside Building Division: Demolition Plan Submittal Requirements (PDF) ↗Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap: Shed Removal ↗EDCO: Construction, Demolition and Inert (CDI) Recycling Facility, San Marcos ↗
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 Oceanside's demolition permit still asks for APCD notification and the regional hazardous materials questionnaire.

Can painted or treated wood go with the rest?
Not at the closest C&D sites. Palomar's flyer says no treated, stained or painted wood in its C&D recycling, and EDCO's CDI facility refuses painted or treated wood. Call the facility before loading a pressure-treated floor or posts.

Which companies take the shed apart, and which only haul?
Dirty Deeds, JUSTJUNK and Ace Hauling describe tearing sheds down. LoadUp offers light disassembly as an add-on. Junk Dudes lists shed removal for Oceanside, and College HUNKS lists storage sheds among items it hauls, but neither describes teardown.
