SHED REMOVAL IN ORLANDO
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 Orlando 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 Orlando 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 Orlando asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Orlando rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. Orlando requires a demolition permit to knock down any existing structure. The fee starts at $60 for up to 1,000 square feet, and owners pulling their own permit post a $1,000 deposit.

City pickup
Partly. The City takes two hand-loadable large items free on yard waste day, and its $100 dumpster-bag pickup takes construction materials. Call 407.246.2314 before setting out shed lumber.

Haul it yourself
Orange County Landfill. Construction and demolition debris $42.70 a ton; garbage $56.40 a ton; asbestos $185 a ton; $10 minimum (rates effective October 1, 2026). Uncovered loads are charged double.

Do I need a permit?Orlando 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 City asks for with a demolition permit
The permit is issued only to property owners and licensed general, building or demolition contractors. The application must be signed by the owner and contractor and notarized, then emailed to digitalpermits@orlando.gov. You upload a scaled demolition site plan and a narrative that covers working hours, how the structure comes down, dust control, and how debris, slabs and foundations will be removed. The City sends the plans to the utilities for sign-off, which can take up to 20 business days, and requires a pre-demolition and a final inspection. Questions go to Permitting Services, 407.246.2271.
City of Orlando: Apply for a Demolition Permit ↗City of Orlando: Demolition Permit Plan Requirements ↗
What the permit costs
The City's residential fee schedule, effective January 2026, sets the demolition permit fee at $60 for the first 1,000 square feet of floor area, plus $3.50 for each additional 1,000. A $100 sewer disconnect fee may apply. An owner who pulls the permit without a contractor also posts a $1,000 cash deposit or damage bond.

Historic districts: a Certificate of Appropriateness comes first
Orlando has six historic preservation districts: Downtown, Lake Cherokee, Lake Copeland, Lake Eola Heights, Lake Lawsona and Colonialtown South. Demolitions there go through major review: a required pre-application meeting (407.246.2172), a $250 application, the Historic Preservation Board and final approval by City Council, before you apply for permits. The minor-review list, which has no fee, includes small accessory structures under 100 square feet, but the City doesn't say whether removing one counts as minor.

Wiring, the $7,500 exemption and digging
The City requires electrical and plumbing permits for all electrical and plumbing work on a shed, including lights and outlets. Since July 1, 2026, state law lets single-family owners skip a building permit for work under $7,500 if they file an exemption request, but electrical, plumbing, structural work and properties in a flood hazard area never qualify. The City doesn't say whether a teardown can use it. Contact Sunshine 811 before pulling posts or piers.

Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Orlando pick up shed debris?
Some of it, with limits. On yard waste day the City picks up two large items for free if they can be loaded into the truck by hand; heavier items need a claw truck at a cost the City sets per job. The City's trash page says this includes construction and demolition materials, but the detailed page lists only appliances, furniture and similar items, so call 407.246.2314 first. For a full shed, the City picks up a filled dumpster bag for $100 (it takes construction materials, not yard waste or paint) or rents 20- and 30-yard roll-off dumpsters priced by the ton.

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 ↗
Orange County Landfill
5901 Young Pine Road, Orlando, FL 32829

McLeod Road Transfer Station (Orange County)
5000 L.B. McLeod Road, Orlando, FL 32811

Fees: Garbage $56.40 a ton; $10 minimum (rates effective October 1, 2026). Uncovered loads are charged double.

What else should I know in Orlando?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
Only City-approved haulers may haul demolition debris
Orlando's code says all solid waste in the City is collected by the City or its agents, licensees and franchisees, and no other person may collect or haul it. The exceptions include owners who haul their own construction and demolition debris and holders of a City roll-off franchise. The Solid Waste Division goes further: it says all removal of project debris, including C&D and concrete, must be handled by an approved roll-off hauler, and unapproved companies face code violations and fines. None of the companies listed on this page is on the City's 25-name approved list. The City doesn't say whether this covers a crew that hauls a torn-down shed in a truck rather than a roll-off container; call Solid Waste at 407.246.2314.
Orlando City Code Chapter 28 (Solid Waste Management) ↗City of Orlando: Find an Approved Roll-Off Hauler ↗
An Orlando address may not mean City rules
The City warns that an address that says Orlando may be in unincorporated Orange County or another nearby city. Check the City's address map first: inside city limits, City Permitting Services and City Solid Waste apply; outside, Orange County's permit and trash rules do.
Shed debris goes to the County landfill, not a transfer station
The City runs no drop-off site for building debris. Orange County's rate table lists construction and demolition debris, including wood and broken concrete, as accepted only at the Orange County Landfill on Young Pine Road. The Porter and McLeod Road transfer stations take household garbage but not C&D.
Old paint and chemicals from the shed
The City bans hazardous waste from its roll-off dumpsters and dumpster bags and sends residents to Orange County. The County takes household paint, pesticides, pool chemicals and propane tanks free at the Orange County Landfill and the Porter Transfer Station, Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., up to 25 gallons of paint and chemicals per vehicle.

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.
How much does shed removal cost in Orlando?
Shed Gone prices each shed from your photos, with teardown, haul-away and cleanup included. Among other companies, Junk Removal Rangers lists $300 to $500 for small wood sheds and $500 to $900 for larger ones. LoadUp shows $94 to $1,559 for a shed in Orange County, lower if it's already taken apart. G's Junk Removal says shed removal typically runs $450 to $2,000 and takes sheds up to 100 square feet. Steps Rise and College HUNKS quote each job.
LoadUp: Orlando Shed Removal ↗Junk Removal Rangers: Shed Removal ↗G's Junk Removal: Shed Removal in Orlando ↗
Where can I take shed debris myself?
The Orange County Landfill at 5901 Young Pine Road takes construction and demolition debris for $42.70 a ton, with a $10 minimum, under rates effective October 1, 2026. It's open to non-account customers Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Cover the load: uncovered loads pay double. Trucks and trailers under 30 feet can use the small vehicle area, where you unload by hand.
Why does the City want a pest control certificate?
A demolition permit in Orlando requires a Rodent Control Certificate from a pest-control operator certified by the State of Florida. Sheds often hide rats, so book that visit early. If trees must come out to reach the shed, you also need a Tree Removal Permit.
Where can a metal shed go?
CMC Recycling at 3000 Gamson Rd. in Apopka buys scrap metal from the public, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sellers must be 18 or older with a valid ID. It does not take hazardous waste, including asbestos.
Do I need an asbestos notice for an old shed?
Usually not for a house lot. The City's demolition requirements ask for a state asbestos notice only for commercial buildings or residential projects of four or more units, and point to Orange County Environmental Protection at 407.836.1400. If old siding or shingles do contain asbestos, the County landfill takes it by appointment, packed to state and County rules, at $185 a ton.

Is the slab included when a shed comes down?
Not always, so ask. Junk Removal Rangers lists concrete pads and foundations but confirms them case by case. The City's permit narrative asks how slabs and foundations will be removed, and the County landfill takes broken concrete as C&D debris.
