SHED REMOVAL IN SACRAMENTO
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 Sacramento 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 Sacramento 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 Sacramento asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Sacramento rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes, by the code's wording. City Code requires a wrecking permit before demolishing any building or structure. The 120-square-foot shed exemption covers building, not demolition. Call (916) 264-5011 to confirm for a small shed.
Sacramento City Code Chapter 15.44: Wrecking and Demolition of Buildings (15.44.010-15.44.050) ↗Sacramento Community Development: Required Building Permits ↗
City pickup
Only small pieces. Household Junk Pickup takes lumber under 6 feet in a 4x4x9-foot pile, but refuses construction debris, concrete and treated wood. A whole teardown won't fit.
Haul it yourself
North Area Recovery Station (Sacramento County). Fees effective January 1, 2026: pickup truck $40, large van $50 (not weighed). Weighed loads (trailers, box trucks): normal refuse $89.90 a ton; clean wood $115.65 a ton; wood structures over 6 feet reinforced with metal $202.85 a ton (the table also shows $202.90); $50 minimum. Clean metal 8 feet or shorter, no fee. $25 extra for an uncovered load. Cash, card or check.

Do I need a permit?Sacramento 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 ↗
Wrecking permit before any demolition
City Code 15.44.020 says the wrecker must get a permit from the building official "prior to commencing any demolition or wrecking work on any building or structure." Permits go only to a licensed contractor or someone exempt from state license law, such as an owner doing their own work. The CDD-0233 packet routes the application through Planning, Fire, Solid Waste and Utilities. The fee is set by City Council resolution and isn't on the City's fee pages.

Utilities off first
City Code 15.44.130 says all utilities to a building or structure must be disconnected before demolition starts, done or supervised by the utility or agency. Sewer disconnects follow Chapter 15.24. A wired shed needs this before teardown.
Sacramento City Code 15.44.130: Disconnection of utilities ↗
Air District rule for demolitions
Sac Metro Air District Rule 902 calls for an asbestos survey and notice for demolitions of any size at regulated facilities. Its FAQ says the rule's definition of facility excludes "residential buildings having four or fewer dwelling units," and that single-family homes are not regulated "under most circumstances." The Air District decides edge cases at (279) 207-1122.

Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Sacramento pick up shed debris?
Only a little. City customers get two free Household Junk appointments a year, February through October, booked through 311. The pile must stay within 4 by 4 by 9 feet on the street. Wood and lumber are accepted if no longer than 6 feet. Construction debris such as dirt, rock, rubble and concrete is not, and neither is treated wood. Extra pickups start at $39.48.
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 Sacramento?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
Only a franchised hauler, or the contractor itself, may haul demolition debris
Sacramento runs a non-exclusive franchise: the City lists 21 private companies with franchises to haul construction and demolition waste. The City's hauler page says homes producing C&D waste must hire one of them unless an exception in City Code 13.24.060 applies. That section bars anyone from the business of collecting or hauling commercial waste without a franchise, except when the waste is "generated and hauled by the same person." The C&D page applies this to demolition: mixed debris goes to a certified sorting facility by a franchised hauler "OR self-hauled by the project contractor." A homeowner may also haul rubbish from their own home.

Sheds 50 years or older get a historic check
The City's wrecking permit packet asks whether the structure is an accessory structure and whether it is over 50 years old. If both are yes, you file a Demolition/Relocation Investigation and Report with Planning. The fee is $468 plus an 8% technology fee, and Preservation staff have a 45-day review period. Listed landmarks and contributing resources in historic districts need a separate Planning entitlement instead.

Sheds are exempt from the City's recycling plan rule
Sacramento makes all demolition permits recycle 65% of the debris and file a waste plan in Green Halo. Its C&D page lists "residential prefabricated structures (sheds, etc.)" and detached residential garages as exemptions. Ask the C&D desk at (916) 808-0965 whether your wrecking permit still needs its sign-off.
Sacramento Recycling & Solid Waste: Construction & Demolition Recycling ↗Sacramento Recycling & Solid Waste: Wrecking Permits ↗
Free dump load at Fruitridge Road for City customers
City garbage customers get a dump coupon with the yearly service guide that covers one free load to 8491 Fruitridge Road, the WM transfer station. The page doesn't give a size limit, so check the coupon before loading shed debris.
Treated posts and floors go to Kiefer only
Shed floors, skids and posts are often pressure-treated. The County says only Kiefer Landfill takes treated wood waste, and the City's junk pickup refuses it.

Where do the slab and a metal shed go?
Kiefer Landfill takes clean concrete without rebar, up to 36 inches, at no fee, and clean metal 8 feet or shorter at no fee. Cut long metal panels down first. Discard Junk Removal says it doesn't break up slabs, while Junk Hunter and Take Care say they handle concrete pads.

Will the dump charge more for a whole shed?
It can. Kiefer charges its hard-to-handle rate of $144.90 a ton for structures longer than 8 feet. North Area charges about $202.85 a ton for wood structures over 6 feet reinforced with metal. Breaking the shed down first avoids those rates.
Sacramento County: Kiefer Landfill Facility Fees, effective January 1, 2026 ↗Sacramento County: North Area Recovery Station Fees, effective January 1, 2026 ↗
Can I take the shed down myself?
Yes. The wrecking permit can go to an owner exempt from contractor licensing, and the City packet includes an owner agreement for buildings demolished by the owner with their own employees. City Code lets a homeowner haul rubbish from their own home to a lawful disposal site.
