SHED REMOVAL IN ATLANTA

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

PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL

Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?

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

Atlanta rules at a glance

Demolition permit

Yes. Atlanta's building code bars demolishing any structure without a permit, and its exemptions don't cover sheds. The fee isn't published; applications start at $175. Call 404-330-6150.

Atlanta Building Code amendments §§103.1, 103.4: permits and exemptions ↗Atlanta Building Code amendments §104: permit fees ↗

City pickup

No. Atlanta's bulk pickup won't take building or construction materials, or anything a contractor leaves. Only small do-it-yourself debris that fits in your trash cart can go out.

Atlanta Office of Solid Waste Services ↗Atlanta City Code §130-45: construction and demolition wastes ↗

Haul it yourself

Seminole Road Landfill (DeKalb County). Construction and demolition material: $99.80 a ton, with a $14.70 minimum processing fee. Loads up to 250 pounds pay a $16.50 minimum scale fee.

Do I need a permit?Atlanta 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

Every demolition needs a permit

Atlanta's building code makes it unlawful to demolish any building or structure without a building permit unless the code exempts it. Its exemption list covers repairs, not removing a shed. Every building permit application carries a nonrefundable $175 minimum fee; the rest is set by the value of the work, and no flat demolition fee is published. Apply through the Accela Citizen Access portal or at City Hall, 55 Trinity Ave.

Atlanta Building Code amendments §§103.1, 103.4: permits and exemptions ↗Atlanta Building Code amendments §104: permit fees ↗Atlanta Express Permit Division: Work exempt from a permit ↗City of Atlanta Office of Buildings ↗

02

Rodent letter and sewer plug

The Bureau of Buildings' demolition procedures say a rodent letter on an exterminator's letterhead and a plumbing permit for a sewer plug are required for demolition permits. The City's current checklist for house demolitions says the rodent letter must be dated within 30 days of the permit. Neither document says whether a shed with no plumbing is excused, so ask before you book.

Atlanta Bureau of Buildings: Demolition permit procedures ↗Atlanta Department of City Planning: Demolition checklist for one- or two-family residences ↗

03

Historic districts add review

In landmark and historic districts, Atlanta's permit exemptions don't apply to work that affects the outside of a property, and the Express desk can't issue permits there. The Urban Design Commission hears demolitions at a public hearing, while some routine projects get staff review. Call the Historic Preservation Studio at 404-546-0134 first.

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

Will Atlanta pick up shed debris?

No, not a shed's worth. Atlanta's bulk pickup takes furniture and appliances, up to 8 cubic yards a time and 12 times a year, but the City won't collect building or construction materials, and bulk is refused for items left by contractors. City Code allows construction debris at the curb only from a small owner project that fits in a 96-gallon trash cart, or a personal can of up to 32 gallons and 35 pounds. Schedule bulk online or through ATL311 at (404) 546-0311.

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 ↗

Seminole Road Landfill (DeKalb County)

4203 Clevemont Road, Ellenwood, GA 30294

DeKalb County's public landfill. The County lists it as a self-haul option with pay-by-weight pricing and says construction materials are accepted. Its pages don't say whether non-DeKalb residents pay the same rates.

Before you go: Open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 404-687-4040 to confirm non-resident access before you go.

Only City-permitted haulers may haul household waste for pay

Atlanta has no exclusive hauler for demolition debris, but City Code bars anyone from running a business that collects or hauls solid waste generated by another person at a single-family home without a City permit, unless they're a self-hauler. The code also makes whoever generates construction and demolition waste responsible for hauling it away legally. The City publishes no list of permit holders, so ask any crew whether it holds one.

Atlanta City Code §130-51: residential solid waste haulers ↗Atlanta City Code §130-45: construction and demolition wastes ↗

Asbestos paperwork comes with the demolition permit

Atlanta's demolition form asks whether the job removes asbestos. If it does, no permit is issued until you show Georgia EPD's asbestos notification; if not, the owner signs a notarized affidavit. Georgia's asbestos rules list two or more houses, not a single home, so an old cement-board shed on one lot mainly needs the affidavit. EPD's Atlanta office is at 404-363-7026.

Atlanta Office of Buildings: Asbestos report and affidavit ↗Georgia EPD: Georgia asbestos rules ↗

Paint and chemicals go to CHaRM

Old paint, stain and garden chemicals from the shed shouldn't ride with the debris. Live Thrive's CHaRM Atlanta at 1110 Hill St SE takes latex, oil-based and aerosol paint by appointment. Residents get the first 20 pounds of paint and chemicals free, then pay by the pound.

Live Thrive: CHaRM Atlanta ↗Live Thrive: CHaRM items we accept ↗

Planning reviews every residential demolition

Under City Code §8-2076.1, demolition permits for residential structures and ancillary buildings go to the Office of Planning, which checks whether the teardown needs rezoning or is meant to create open space. You list your reasons and attach site plans. The form doesn't say how this applies to a lone shed, so ask the Office of Buildings at 404-330-6150 what a shed permit needs.

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.

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.

Junk-it ATL, SS Pro Junk Removal and The Junk Tycoons quote each shed after seeing it, and College HUNKS prices junk by truck space. None of these prices says it includes an Atlanta demolition permit.

Where does a broken-up slab go?

Luck Stone's construction and demolition landfill in College Park lists concrete, bricks, wood and metal among accepted waste, weekdays 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. It doesn't post rates or say it serves walk-up customers, so call (770) 909-8600 first.

Where can a metal shed go?

SA Recycling: Atlanta-Sampler Way ↗

Can I get a shed permit over the counter?

Maybe. Atlanta's Express desk reviews some residential jobs within 30 minutes at City Hall, and its list includes sheds, but it doesn't name shed demolition, and historic-district properties can't use it. Ask the Express Division at 404-546-6907.

Do I need to call 811 to pull posts or piers?
