SHED REMOVAL IN DENVER

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 Denver 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 Denver 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 Denver ZIP code. No payment, and it isn’t a booking.

02

Get our price.

We look at your photos and send our price, what it includes and the dates we have.

03

We haul it away.

We confirm a date, take the shed down, load every piece and leave the spot clean.

PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL

Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?

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

Denver rules at a glance

Demolition permit

No, if the shed is 200 sq ft or smaller and 8 ft tall or shorter; Denver names sheds as an example. Bigger sheds need a demolition permit, and historic districts may need Landmark review.

City pickup

No. Denver's Large Item Pickup lists construction materials, including fencing and pallets, as not accepted.

Haul it yourself

Tower Landfill (Republic Services). 2026 gate prices before fees: pickup filled to top of cab $105; filled over cab under 6 feet $120; over 6 feet or trailers $38.50 per yard (5-yard minimum); shingles $40 per yard (5+ yards); stump/concrete over 3 feet $72 per yard. Fuel, environmental and user fees are added.

What it costs

Shed Gone: a price from your photos, with teardown, haul-away and cleanup included.

Others here: Published shed prices start at $349 (Denver Junk Solutions), $799 (Junk Same Day) and $999 (JK Hauling & Demo). Removing a concrete slab costs extra.

Do I need a permit?Denver 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

The 200 sq ft and 8 ft test

Denver's demolition rules cover residential and commercial structures. A structure of 200 square feet or less and 8 feet tall or less needs no permit, and both limits apply. A bigger shed needs a full demolition permit: a state asbestos notification to CDPHE first (even if no asbestos is found), utility cut-offs, $300,000 of insurance for a homeowner doing the work, and notice to adjacent owners 10 days before demolition.

02

Historic districts and landmark sites

With a demolition permit, Landmark approval is not required for accessory structures unless they are in a historic district, on an individual landmark site, or 1.5 stories or taller. The city does not say whether that review also applies to a shed small enough to skip the permit, so call Landmark Preservation at 720-865-2709 before the crew comes.

03

Wiring, water and buried lines

For a permitted demolition, water, sewer, gas and electric service must be shut off or capped before the permit is issued. A homeowner must pass an exam before doing electrical work on a homeowner permit. Contact Colorado 811 at least three business days before digging out posts or footings; it does not locate private lines, such as a buried feed to the shed.

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

Will Denver pick up shed debris?

No. Denver Solid Waste Management collects large items every nine weeks, up to 5 items and 10 bags. Construction materials (including concrete, bricks, fencing and pallets) and hazardous materials such as paint are not accepted, and setting items out on other days counts as illegal dumping. Plan on a removal company or a self-haul.

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 ↗

Tower Landfill (Republic Services)

19260 E. 88th Ave, Commerce City, CO 80022

Accepts municipal solid waste, commercial waste and non-hazardous industrial waste from homes and businesses across the metro area. Its 2026 gate pricing lists demolition waste, shingles, and stumps or concrete over 3 feet across. It refuses refrigerators, tires, electronics, used oil, batteries and hazardous waste.

Fees: 2026 gate prices before fees: pickup filled to top of cab $105; filled over cab under 6 feet $120; over 6 feet or trailers $38.50 per yard (5-yard minimum); shingles $40 per yard (5+ yards); stump/concrete over 3 feet $72 per yard. Fuel, environmental and user fees are added.

Before you go: Call (303) 371-5115 for current rates. Open Monday 5 a.m. through Saturday 3 p.m., closed Sundays. Cover the load; uncovered loads are charged twice the price.

Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site (DADS)

3500 South Gun Club Road, Aurora, CO 80018

A regional WM landfill that lists construction and demolition debris, municipal solid waste and yard waste among acceptable materials. It cannot take hazardous or liquid waste. Whole sheds are not mentioned, so plan to bring a dismantled load and confirm.

Fees: No public self-haul rates are published on the pages reviewed. Appliances, tires and electronics are accepted for an extra charge.

Before you go: Call (720) 876-2620 before loading. WM lists Mon–Fri 6 a.m.–7:30 p.m. and Sat 7 a.m.–5 p.m., closed Sunday; another listing shows a later weekday close, so confirm. Check in with the attendant.

All Recycling North (transfer station and scrap yard)

5350 Washington Street, Denver, CO 80216

Open to the public as a general waste transfer station and a scrap metal buyer. Metal sheds, metal doors and framing, and siding and gutters are on its list of household metals it buys. No hazardous material.

Fees: No trash fees published. Metal prices change with the market; call for a current rate.

Before you go: Call (303) 293-3333. Trash hours are Monday to Friday 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.; metals hours are Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Oxford Recycling

2400 W. Oxford Ave., Englewood, CO 80110

Accepts concrete and asphalt for recycling. It can reject loads contaminated with dirt, trash, sod or other debris, so bring slab pieces only, not mixed shed debris.

Fees: Concrete or asphalt: $33 minimum load, $53 tandem, $78 semi. Concrete with excessive steel or rebar: $83 minimum. A $12 environmental fee is added to each load; prices may change.

Before you go: Open Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call 303-762-1160. Get a disposal receipt at the office before dumping.

What else should I know in Denver?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.

Historic districts add a Landmark review

On a landmark site or in a historic district, Landmark Preservation staff usually review the demolition of an accessory structure, and the application needs a replacement plan, such as a new accessory structure. No pre-application meeting is needed for an accessory structure. Look up your address on the city's historic landmarks map first.

Big outbuildings come with a recycling rule

Denver's Universal Recycling and Composting Ordinance applies to demolitions over 500 square feet of gross floor area. That means a waste diversion plan and a refundable deposit before the permit is issued. Most backyard sheds are far smaller, but a barn-size outbuilding could qualify.

Alley sheds are the norm in older neighborhoods

Many older Denver lots have alley access, which makes loading a shed easier. If your shed needs a demolition permit and the crew works from the alley, the city does not require the street-frontage photo for an accessory structure.

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.

COMMON QUESTIONS

A few more answers.

How much does shed removal cost in Denver?

Shed Gone prices each shed from your photos, with teardown, haul-away and cleanup included. Denver Junk Solutions starts at $349, then adds debris at $149 for the first 2 cubic yards and $75 a yard after that; shingles add $25 a yard. Junk Same Day runs $899 to $1,299 for most 8x10 to 10x12 wood sheds. Send us a photo for our price, and ask anyone you compare whether the slab, the contents and disposal are included.

Do I have to empty the shed first?

No, but it changes the price. Junk Same Day, Denver Junk Solutions and Pride N Service all say they will clear out a shed that is still full. Denver Junk Solutions prices the contents by the yard, like any other load.

Will the crew take out the concrete slab?

Usually not as part of the base price. Junk Same Day breaks out the slab as an add-on, and Denver Junk Solutions calls a poured slab a separate, heavier job. Mile High Haul-Off lists concrete pads but says it may refer concrete bases to a specialist. Get the slab in writing.

The shed has power. Who disconnects it?

You do, through an electrician, before the crew arrives. Junk King Denver South says it does not do electrical disconnection, and Denver Junk Solutions says it will not cut a live line.

Where can I take a metal shed myself?

All Recycling's North Denver yard at 5350 Washington Street lists metal sheds among the items it buys and is open to the public. Prices change with the metal market, so call (303) 293-3333 for a current rate.

Where can I take mixed wood debris myself?

Tower Landfill in Commerce City publishes 2026 gate prices: a pickup filled to the top of the cab is $105 before fees, about $134 with them. Tarp the load; uncovered loads pay double. The Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site also lists construction and demolition debris but publishes no self-haul rates.
