SHED REMOVAL IN ROSWELL

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

PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL

Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?

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

Roswell rules at a glance

Demolition permit

Yes, as written. City code requires a permit to demolish a building or structure. The 200 sq ft shed exemption is for building one, not tearing it down. Call (770) 641-3727.

Roswell Code of Ordinances §5.4.1: When permit required ↗City of Roswell: Residential Accessory Structure Plan Review Checklist (PDF) ↗

City pickup

No. Large item pickup ($38.12 an item) excludes construction and demolition debris, including wood and concrete. Residents can take shed lumber to the City transfer station at $100 a ton.

City of Roswell: Large Item Pickup Request Form ↗City of Roswell: Roswell Transfer Station ↗

Haul it yourself

Roswell Transfer Station. Construction and demolition material: $100 a ton, residents only, with proof of residence. Non-residents pay $3 a bag of trash and $10 to $20 per furniture item.

What it costs

Do I need a permit?Roswell 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

A demolition permit, with an open question for small sheds

Roswell's code says anyone who wants to demolish a building or structure must first apply and get a permit. The City's accessory structure checklist exempts one-story detached accessory structures of 200 square feet or less, but that checklist covers building or installing them, not tearing them down. The demolition application in the City's glossary is written for razing a home and asks for a Georgia EPD project notice and a rodent letter dated within 30 days. Ask Resident and Business Services, (770) 641-3727, which application a shed teardown uses. Applications go through the Permitting & Licensing HUB only.

Roswell Code of Ordinances §5.4.1: When permit required ↗City of Roswell: Residential Accessory Structure Plan Review Checklist (PDF) ↗City of Roswell: Building Applications Work Classes Glossary (PDF) ↗City of Roswell Community Development: Building ↗

02

Wiring, gas or water to the shed

The same code section requires a permit to remove or alter any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system covered by the building codes. If your shed has a circuit, a gas line or a water line, plan on a licensed tradesman and a separate trade permit to disconnect it.

Roswell Code of Ordinances §5.4.1: When permit required ↗

04

Who can pull the permit

Roswell won't issue a permit to an owner who is neither a licensed contractor nor the occupant of the home. A homeowner living there can apply; a hired crew needs a licensed contractor on the permit.

City of Roswell Community Development: Building ↗

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

Will Roswell pick up shed debris?

No. Roswell's own crews collect household garbage, and a large item pickup costs $38.12 an item, up to five items, on your regular collection day. The City says it doesn't collect construction or demolition debris, including wood, brick, cement, concrete and ceramic tile, because its trucks aren't built for it. Shed contents like a grill or bicycle can go out as large items. Residents can self-haul the lumber to the Roswell Transfer Station.

City of Roswell: Garbage & Sanitation ↗City of Roswell: Large Item Pickup Request Form ↗City of Roswell: Roswell Transfer Station ↗

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 ↗

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

No franchised hauler for demolition debris found, but the City owns household trash

Roswell runs its own garbage service. City code says the City collects all household garbage, recycling and yard waste and won't permit private companies to collect them unless it can't provide the service, and residents can't opt out. Nothing in the garbage chapter grants anyone a franchise for construction or demolition debris or requires a hauler permit for it. The City's trucks don't take that debris at all.

Roswell Code of Ordinances §24.2.2: City to collect garbage, recycling and yard waste ↗City of Roswell: Garbage & Sanitation ↗

The City transfer station takes shed lumber, but only from residents

Since July 1, 2025, the Roswell Transfer Station on Hembree Road takes construction and demolition material from Roswell residents only, at $100 a ton with proof of residence. Its list includes lumber, siding, decks, wood fences, pallets and concrete in pieces under 50 pounds. Metal isn't accepted there, and shingles aren't on the list.

Sheds in the Historic District get their own review

Inside Roswell's Historic Overlay District, or on a designated landmark, any work that needs a building permit also needs historic review, and no building permit is issued without a Certificate of Appropriateness. The code lists storage sheds and playhouses among the changes handled by the Zoning Director as a minor certificate.

Roswell Unified Development Code §13.7: Historic review ↗

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.

Start a quote from photos ↗

Other companies’ advertised prices

Only LoadUp publishes a shed price here: $94 to $1,559 for Fulton County, shown in full when you book. College HUNKS and Joseph's Junk Removal publish general junk-load prices, not shed prices. The other companies quote after seeing the shed or photos. None says its price includes the City demolition permit.

LoadUp ↗

$94–$1,559

The shed page gives a $94 to $1,559 range for Fulton County, depending on size, condition, type and permit requirements. A shed that is already taken apart costs less. The exact price shows when you book online.

Where can I take shed debris myself if I don't live in Roswell?

Does an old shed need an asbestos check?

Georgia EPD says owners of homes with four or fewer dwelling units are exempt from its demolition notice unless the work is part of a larger project. Roswell's home demolition application still asks for an EPD project notice even if no asbestos is found. Ask the City whether that applies to a shed.
