SHED REMOVAL IN NAPERVILLE
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 Naperville 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 Naperville 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 Naperville asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Naperville rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. City code says no building or structure may be razed without a permit. The 150 sq ft exemption is for building small sheds, not tearing them down. Call (630) 420-6100, option 2.
Naperville Municipal Code 5-2B-3: Razing buildings ↗Naperville Municipal Code 5-1B-2: Residential code amendments ↗
City pickup
Only a little at a time. Groot takes two 60-pound bundles or cans of wood or construction debris a week, so a whole shed needs a hauler.
Haul it yourself
Aurora Recycling Center (ARC). Not published; the County says to call for the tipping fee.
4 drop-off options →What it costs
Shed Gone: a price from your photos, with teardown, haul-away and cleanup included.
Others here: LoadUp shows $94 to $1,559 for a shed in DuPage County. The other four companies quote after seeing the job or price by truck load.
Do I need a permit?Naperville 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 ↗
A razing permit, with no size exemption
Naperville Municipal Code 5-2B-3 says no building or structure, or major portion of one, may be razed without a permit from the Director of Transportation, Engineering and Development. The residential code's work-exempt list lets you build a one-story tool or storage shed up to 150 square feet without a permit, but it says nothing about demolition, and the City's permit guide lists demolition of a building as work that needs a permit.
Naperville Municipal Code 5-2B-3: Razing buildings ↗Naperville Municipal Code 5-1B-2: Residential code amendments ↗City of Naperville: Guide to building permits ↗
What the permit asks for
The applicant must guard the site, show proof of insurance in an amount the City sets, and give written statements that utilities to the structure are disconnected. The 250-foot neighbor notice applies only to tearing down a principal home, not a shed.
Fee and site rules as written
The residential fee schedule lists demolition at $1,045, including plan review, construction site signage and two inspections. Section 5-2B-8 attaches site rules to every razing permit: a 6-foot chain-link fence, debris kept in a container, a portable toilet and a City-bought sign. The code doesn't carve out sheds, so ask the permit desk which of these it will apply to a backyard shed.

Digging out posts or a slab
Contact JULIE (811) before you dig out footings, piers or anchors. Member utilities mark their buried lines for free.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Naperville pick up shed debris?
Only in small amounts. Groot collects limited remodeling and construction materials, including wood, each week. They must be in containers of 60 pounds or less or tied in bundles no bigger than 4 feet by 2 feet and under 60 pounds, with at most two cans, two bundles or one of each per week. At that pace a shed takes months, so most people hire a hauler or self-haul. Items that need two people to lift go by paid special pickup; call Groot at 630-892-9294.
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 ↗
Aurora Recycling Center (ARC)
213 Mettel Rd., Aurora, IL 60505
Kane County's drop-off directory lists it as taking general construction and demolition debris: roofing shingles, treated and untreated wood, insulation, metals, concrete, brick, block, drywall and more. That covers most of a wood shed. The listing doesn't say whether homeowners can drop off small loads.
Fees: Not published; the County says to call for the tipping fee.
Before you go: Listed hours: Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday 6 a.m. to noon. Call 847-776-1500 before you load the truck.
Heartland Recycling - Aurora CCDD
213 Mettel Rd., Aurora, IL 60505 (enter at Route 25 and Mettel Road)
A permitted clean construction and demolition debris site that takes brick, concrete and asphalt from construction projects. Concrete may not have protruding rebar, and painted brick or concrete needs an engineer's lead-paint certification (IEPA form LPC-667). It does not take wood or mixed debris.
Fees: Its posted price sheet lists concrete at $30 a load in the smallest vehicle class ('4-Wheeler'), $40 for a 6-wheeler and $50 for a semi-dump; a hard-to-handle fee may apply to oversized pieces.
Before you go: Open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; Saturday by appointment. Call 630-391-0022 to confirm current prices.

Free City drop-off for Naperville residents, run through the City's Groot contract. Only residential materials are taken. Its scrap metal list includes cast iron, aluminum or steel scrap pieces, metal siding, metal fencing, pipes and fixtures. It does not list wood or construction debris.

It does not take latex paint, wood, metal or business waste.

What else should I know in Naperville?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
Groot is the City's hauler
Naperville's residential trash is collected by Groot Industries under a City contract. Questions about special pickups of bulk items or construction materials go to Groot at (630) 892-9294, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., not to the City.
Old asbestos siding has a free drop-off
The Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 156 Fort Hill Drive takes asbestos materials from Illinois residents for free, if they are triple bagged, fit in a 55-gallon drum and weigh no more than 50 pounds. It also takes oil-based paint and stain, pesticides, fertilizer, solvents, gasoline and propane tanks up to 20 pounds. It is open Saturdays and Sundays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. It does not take latex paint, wood or metal.
Sheds behind the house skip historic review
In Naperville's historic districts and on landmark properties, most exterior demolition needs a certificate of appropriateness. The code exempts any accessory building, naming sheds, that sits behind the principal building. A shed beside or in front of a historic house is not covered by that exemption.
Naperville Municipal Code 6-11-7: Certificate of appropriateness not required ↗
The City is your electric and water utility
Naperville residents get electricity and water from the City itself. Before a razing permit is issued, the City wants written statements that electric, water, sewer and gas service to the structure has been disconnected by the people with authority to do it. If your shed has power or a water line, call City utility customer service at (630) 420-6059 to start that step before the crew comes.

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.

Priced from your photosA 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.

Only LoadUp publishes a shed price for Naperville: $94 to $1,559 for DuPage County, with the exact price shown when you book. Ace Junk Removal Pros, Junk in the Truck and JUNK Relief give a price after looking at the shed, and College HUNKS quotes junk by the load. None of them says its price includes Naperville's razing permit.
LoadUp ↗
$94–$1,559The shed page gives a $94 to $1,559 range for DuPage County. The real price is shown when you book online, and it's lower for a shed that's already taken apart. Its national shed page says removal typically starts around $1,555; its local pages say an already-disassembled shed costs less.

COMMON QUESTIONS
A few more answers.
Can the crew work on a Saturday or Sunday?
Saturday yes, Sunday no, if the job is under a razing permit. Naperville's site rules ban building and construction work on Sundays and major holidays, and limit Saturday work to 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Naperville Municipal Code 5-2B-8: Safety and work requirements ↗
Where does a metal shed go?
The City's free Recycling Drop-Off Center off Fort Hill Drive takes residents' scrap metal, including aluminum or steel scrap pieces and metal siding, on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cut-up panels should qualify; ask the attendant. No money is paid for scrap.
Where can I take a broken-up concrete slab?
Heartland Recycling in Aurora takes concrete from construction projects, as long as no rebar sticks out. Its posted price sheet shows $30 a load for concrete in the smallest vehicle class. Painted concrete needs a lead-paint certification first.
Heartland Recycling - Aurora CCDD: Brick, concrete and asphalt disposal ↗Heartland Recycling - Aurora CCDD: Price list ↗
Do I need an asbestos survey for an old shed?
Illinois EPA says the federal asbestos rules (NESHAP) don't apply to privately owned homes and apartments with four or fewer units. It still says asbestos should be removed before demolition, ideally by a licensed contractor. Old cement-board siding or roofing is the usual suspect on a shed.
Does the company or the homeowner pull the permit?
None of the listed companies says it pulls Naperville razing permits. Because the permit asks for proof of insurance and utility disconnect letters, settle who files and who pays before you book.
Which company will take the shed down for me?
Ace Junk Removal Pros, based in Naperville, says it demolishes sheds and cleans up the debris. Junk in the Truck does shed pickup, demolition and removal. JUNK Relief takes the roof, walls and floor apart and hauls them, but says it can't break up a concrete slab. LoadUp warns some light disassembly may be needed.
