SHED REMOVAL IN LAKEWOOD
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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Lakewood rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes, over 200 sq ft: a demolition permit plus a recycling plan with weight tickets. Lakewood's code exempts sheds of 200 sq ft or less from permits but doesn't name teardown; call 303-987-7500.
Lakewood Municipal Code 14.09.040 (residential code amendments) ↗Lakewood permit guide ↗Lakewood construction and demolition recycling ↗
City pickup
No. Lakewood runs no trash service; you hire a private hauler or use your HOA's. Plan on a removal company, a roll-off or a landfill trip.
Haul it yourself
Foothills Landfill (Republic Services). 2026 gate sheet: car $44; pickup filled to top of cab $105 (about $134 with fees); trailers $38.50 per yard, 5-yard minimum; shingle loads of 5+ yards $40 per yard. Fuel and environmental fees are added. Uncovered loads pay double.

Do I need a permit?Lakewood 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 ↗
Demolition permit and the 200-square-foot exemption
Lakewood's residential code amendment exempts one-story detached tool and storage sheds of 200 square feet or less from permits (Municipal Code 14.09.040). The city's exemption sheet opens by saying no structure may be removed or demolished without a permit, except as specified, but it doesn't name teardown of a small shed. Bigger sheds need an Accessory Building demolition permit in eTRAKiT, and the application includes proof that utilities are disconnected. Ask the permit counter (303-987-7500, PermitCounter@LakewoodCO.gov) about a small shed.

Keep weight tickets for the recycling plan
Lakewood's code requires a demolition waste management plan with any building demolition permit, and the city's table lists accessory building demolition with no minimum size. Concrete, asphalt, metal and untreated wood must be recycled or reused where viable. You build the plan in Green Halo (the free plan is enough), upload weight tickets or donation receipts, and submit it within 60 days after the permit closes. The $1-per-square-foot deposit is tied to Major Site Plan projects.

Wiring, water and digging
Lakewood says a small exempt shed with electrical service still needs an electrical permit to install, and a plumbing permit for a hose bib or sink. It doesn't say what removing them needs, so ask the permit counter or a licensed electrician. Before digging out posts or footings, Colorado law requires a Colorado 811 request at least two full business days ahead; private lines, like a buried feed to the shed, aren't marked.

Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Lakewood pick up shed debris?
No. The city doesn't provide trash service or contract haulers for residents; households set up service with a licensed private hauler or through their HOA. The city pages reviewed list no bulky-item pickup or cleanup day. Republic Services, one of the licensed haulers, asks customers to contact it about which construction debris it takes.

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 ↗
Foothills Landfill (Republic Services)
8900 Highway 93, Golden, CO 80403
Residents may bring trash and clean-up debris for a fee based on volume and waste type. The 2026 gate sheet has a separate per-yard rate for shingle loads. It accepts only non-hazardous waste and refuses liquids, paint, tires, chemicals, batteries, friable asbestos and electronics.
Fees: 2026 gate sheet: car $44; pickup filled to top of cab $105 (about $134 with fees); trailers $38.50 per yard, 5-yard minimum; shingle loads of 5+ yards $40 per yard. Fuel and environmental fees are added. Uncovered loads pay double.
Before you go: Call (303) 371-5115 to confirm rates. Open Mon–Fri 6:30 a.m.–5 p.m. and Sat 7 a.m.–1 p.m.; hand unloading stops 30 minutes before closing. Wear or buy a safety vest and cover the load.

What else should I know in Lakewood?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
A Lakewood mailing address doesn't always mean city rules
Lakewood permits and the recycling plan apply only inside city limits. Jefferson County's Address Lookup shows whether an address is in a city or in unincorporated county land. If it's unincorporated, the county's Building Safety office (303-271-8260) handles it.
A free city drop-off for metal shed panels
The city's Quail Street Recycling Center (1068 Quail St.) takes sorted scrap metal free, Monday to Saturday. It only accepts what fits in a car or small pickup, and no trailers. That suits a taken-apart steel or aluminum kit shed, not mixed debris.
Shed chemicals go to Rooney Road, not the debris pile
Old paint, stain, weed killer, motor oil and propane cylinders often sit in sheds. Lakewood sends residents to the Rooney Road Recycling Center in Golden, open by appointment only on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Jefferson County residents pay a $30 co-pay for up to 75 pounds; house paint and motor oil are free.
Lakewood: Rooney Road Recycling Center ↗Rooney Road Recycling Center ↗Rooney Road Recycling Center pricing ↗
Don't leave the pile in the yard
Lakewood code enforcement does not allow outside storage of waste building materials. Plan the haul-off for the day of the teardown, or have a roll-off or trailer ready.
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.

COMMON QUESTIONS
A few more answers.
Which load goes where if I haul it myself?
Lakewood's own resource list names Foothills Landfill on Highway 93 as the closest landfill; take wood, shingles and mixed debris there. Clean concrete goes next door to Colorado Aggregate Recycling, which rejects loads with wood or shingles. Steel or aluminum panels can go free to Quail Street. Keep the weight tickets if you have a permit.
Lakewood additional recycling resources (9/30/25) ↗Colorado Aggregate Recycling, Foothills yard ↗Quail Street Recycling Center ↗
Who tears the shed down, and who only hauls it?
Denver Junk Solutions, Junk Same Day, JK Hauling & Demo, Mile High Haul-Off, Rockies Cleanouts and Altitude Hauling advertise full teardown. LoadUp says light disassembly may be needed and big demolition jobs may be outside its scope. College HUNKS lists storage sheds among items it hauls but doesn't describe teardown, so ask.
LoadUp shed removal, Lakewood CO ↗College HUNKS, Lakewood ↗Rockies Cleanouts shed demolition, Lakewood ↗JK Hauling & Demo in Lakewood ↗
Will the company handle the permit and weight tickets?
Don't assume it. None of the listed companies' shed pages says it pulls a Lakewood demolition permit or files the Green Halo plan. If your shed needs a permit, ask who applies and get every landfill and recycler ticket from the crew.
What do I do with the concrete pad?
Ask before you book. Junk Same Day breaks out a pad as a paid add-on. Mile High Haul-Off may refer concrete pads to a specialist. Denver Junk Solutions calls a poured slab a separate, heavier job. If you break it up yourself, Colorado Aggregate Recycling charges $25 a pickup load for clean concrete.
Junk Same Day shed removal ↗Mile High Haul-Off shed tear-down ↗Denver Junk Solutions shed removal ↗Colorado Aggregate Recycling, Foothills yard ↗
My shed has power. What happens to the wire?
Have it made safe before the crew comes. Denver Junk Solutions asks that power be disconnected at the breaker first. A Lakewood demolition permit application asks for proof that utilities are disconnected.
