SHED REMOVAL IN FRUIT COVE
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 Fruit Cove 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 Fruit Cove 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 Fruit Cove asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Fruit Cove rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. St. Johns County requires a permit before anyone demolishes a building or structure, and lists a $37 residential demolition fee. It publishes no size exemption for tearing down a shed.
St. Johns County: Permit Guidelines & General Information ↗St. Johns County Fee Schedule, FY 27 (PDF) ↗
City pickup
No. St. Johns County curbside service does not collect construction and demolition debris. Its large-item pickup is for couches, mattresses and household furniture.

Do I need a permit?Fruit Cove 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 ↗
What the demolition application asks
The County's demolition permit application asks for the building's size in square feet, its height and its prior use. Before a demolition permit is issued, the County reviews the property for historical resources under Section 3.01.07 of its Land Development Code. A permit lapses if work doesn't start within 6 months.
Wiring, plumbing and digging need their own permits
The application says separate permits are needed for electrical, plumbing and other trade work. If a shed has a circuit or a water line, plan on a licensed trade to disconnect it. Before pulling posts or piers, contact Sunshine 811.
St. Johns County: Demolition Permit Application (PDF) ↗Sunshine 811 ↗
Licensed contractors and liens
The County says contractors must be licensed and registered with St. Johns County to get a permit or do construction work. Permitted jobs over $5,000 need a recorded Notice of Commencement before the first inspection.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Fruit Cove pick up shed debris?
No. Fruit Cove has no city trash service; St. Johns County's curbside hauler, FCC Environmental Services, does the pickup. The County says construction and demolition debris is not collected curbside, and its large-item pickup lists couches, sectionals, mattresses and household furniture. Shed panels, framing and shingles have to be hauled to a C&D site.

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 ↗

No city hall: St. Johns County makes the rules
Fruit Cove is an unincorporated census-designated place in northwest St. Johns County, not a city. There is no city permit office or city trash service. The St. Johns County Building Department (904-827-6800) issues demolition permits, and the County Solid Waste Division (904-827-6980) runs curbside pickup through FCC Environmental Services and the Tillman Ridge and Stratton Road transfer stations.

Only a County-franchised hauler may haul demolition debris
St. Johns County's demolition permit application says Ordinance 89-20 makes it illegal for anyone without a valid franchise to collect, haul or transport construction and demolition debris in the County. County resolutions now cite Ordinance 17-39, which requires anyone in the business of collecting or transporting solid waste, unless exempt, to get a County franchise. The County's C&D franchise list (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027) is aimed at roll-off containers, but it also names JDog Jacksonville and Junk King Jax. Jon's Junks and College HUNKS are not on it. The County pages don't say whether a crew that tears down a shed and hauls it in a truck is exempt.

The County names two places for demolition debris
St. Johns County says residents and businesses must take construction and demolition debris to the St. Marks C&D Disposal Facility in St. Augustine or the Waste Pro transfer station in Elkton. The County's own Tillman Ridge and Stratton Road transfer stations take pressure-treated wood for a fee.
St. Johns County: Construction & Demolition Debris Disposal ↗
Old paint and chemicals go free to the transfer stations
Paint thinner, pesticides, pool chemicals, gasoline, propane cylinders and other household hazardous waste left in a shed can go to either County transfer station. Old power tools count as electronics there too. Residents need a driver's license with a current St. Johns County address.

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.

Can I take shed debris to a County transfer station?
Partly. The County's 2023 FAQ says residential construction debris and pressure-treated wood are accepted across the scale at Tillman Ridge or Stratton Road for a charge, with proof of St. Johns County residence. The current C&D page sends debris to St. Marks or the Waste Pro station in Elkton instead. Pressure-treated wood is $67.26 a ton, cash or check only.

Where can a concrete slab or metal shed go?
ELEV8 Recycling on West Edward Street in Jacksonville takes clean concrete, block, brick and pavers, including rebar-embedded slabs, with no drop-off fee. Berman Brothers on Evergreen Avenue buys scrap steel and aluminum on weekdays from sellers 18 or older with photo ID.
Do I need an asbestos survey for an old shed?
Usually not. The County's application repeats the federal rule: written asbestos notice to Florida DEP applies to commercial and public buildings and excludes residential buildings with four or fewer units. If old cement siding or shingles might contain asbestos, ask before you break them up.
St. Johns County: Demolition Permit Application (PDF) ↗Florida DEP Asbestos FAQ ↗
Can I put shed boards out in small batches with my trash?
No. Besides excluding construction and demolition debris, the County says cans and bags can't weigh over 50 pounds and loose garbage other than bulky waste won't be collected.
