We take it down.

- 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 Metairie 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 Metairie asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Metairie rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. Jefferson Parish requires a building permit to demolish any building or structure. The base fee is $36 for the first $1,000 of value plus $5 per added $1,000. Call 504-736-6957.

City pickup
Mostly no. Parish bulk pickup won't take any waste a contractor generates. A homeowner's own debris must be in 4-foot, 75-pound bundles, with loose pieces bagged or in containers.

Haul it yourself
Metairie Drop-Off Site (Jefferson Parish). Free for residents who get Parish curbside pickup in unincorporated Jefferson Parish (two visits a day). Contractors, commercial users and the parish's municipalities pay $14 per pickup truck and $20 per trailer, card only.

Do I need a permit?Metairie 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 Parish permit before any teardown
The Parish building code makes it unlawful to tear down or demolish any structure without a valid building permit, and says anyone who wants to demolish a building or structure must apply first. The Parish's permit page says storage sheds of any size need a building permit, and its list of work that needs no permit doesn't include demolition. Apply online through MyGovernmentOnline. The code sets a base fee of $36 for the first $1,000 of project value plus $5 per added $1,000, and lists no separate demolition fee.
Jefferson Parish Code, Chapter 8, Article I (Building Code), incl. Sec. 8-1-104.2.3 Building permit fees ↗Jefferson Parish: When Do I Need / Not Need a Permit ↗
Wiring, gas and plumbing need licensed trades
The Parish says anyone who removes an electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system must be licensed and file for inspection before work starts. Electrical work must be filed by a Jefferson Parish licensed electrician, and plumbing and gas work by a State Plumbing Board licensed plumber or gas fitter. That covers cutting and capping a shed's circuit or water line.
Tree protection near Metairie Ridge
In the Metairie Ridge Tree Preservation District, excavation and any other activity that may affect tree root systems needs a Tree Preservation permit from the Parkways Department. Digging out shed piers or a slab near large trees there should be checked first.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Jefferson Parish pick up shed debris?
Only a homeowner's own small, prepared pieces. The Parish says any waste generated by a contractor isn't eligible for pickup. Parish code counts wood, siding, roofing shingles and concrete from residential repair work as construction debris, but not debris from demolishing a primary residential structure. Fence boards and similar debris must be stacked or bundled no longer than 4 feet and no heavier than 75 pounds, concrete under 6 inches and loose debris like sheetrock must be in containers, and piles can't top 6 cubic yards.

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 ↗

Metairie isn't a city: Jefferson Parish makes the rules
Metairie is an unincorporated community in Jefferson Parish, so there is no city hall, city permit office or city trash service. Jefferson Parish's Building Permits Department issues demolition permits (504-736-6957 on the East Bank), and the Parish's Department of Environmental Affairs runs curbside pickup, drop-off sites and the Parish landfill (504-731-4612).
Metairie, Louisiana (Wikipedia) ↗Jefferson Parish: Building Permits Services (contacts) ↗Jefferson Parish: Curbside Garbage Collection ↗Jefferson Parish: Drop-Off Sites ↗
Haulers need a state transporter number
No franchised hauler for demolition debris was found in Jefferson Parish. Parish Code Sec. 16-6(b) says no one may collect or transport solid waste commercially in the parish without filing a solid waste notification with Louisiana DEQ and getting a transporter identification number. People hauling waste from their own household are exempt. The code doesn't say whether a crew hauling a customer's shed debris counts as commercial transport, but the wording covers it.
Jefferson Parish Code, Chapter 16 (Garbage and Other Solid Waste) ↗
Old Metairie: shed demolition stays with the permit office
In the Old Metairie Neighborhood Conservation District most work needs Old Metairie Commission review, but the Parish code lets the Building Permits Director approve demolition of accessory structures and fences without a site plan. Work there and in the Metairie Ridge Tree Preservation District still needs a building permit, and anything that may affect tree roots needs a Parkways tree permit (504-349-5800).

Free drop-off on David Drive
Residents who get Parish curbside pickup can take construction debris, scrap metal and bulky waste to the Metairie Drop-Off Site at 400 David Drive for free, up to two visits a day. It's self-service: you unload by hand into roll-off containers, and trailers are sent to a landfill.
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.
