SHED REMOVAL IN BALTIMORE

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

PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL

Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?

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

Baltimore rules at a glance

Demolition permit

Yes. Baltimore requires a razing permit to demolish buildings and accessory structures, sheds included, with no size exemption. The code fee is $50 per accessory structure.

Baltimore City DHCD: Permit Types (Razing and Moving Permit) ↗Baltimore City Building Code § 109: Fees ↗

City pickup

No. DPW's monthly bulk pickup excludes building materials such as siding, wood pieces and roofing. Residents can take shed debris to the Quarantine Road Landfill for $135 a ton.

Baltimore City DPW: Bulk Trash Pickup and Large Item Removal ↗Baltimore City DPW: How to Use Drop-Off Centers ↗

Haul it yourself

Quarantine Road Landfill & Residential Recycling Center. $135 per ton for residents and commercial haulers disposing of solid waste or C&D at the landfill (since November 1, 2025). Licensed small haulers pay $20 a load up to 7,000 pounds.

Do I need a permit?Baltimore 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

Only you or a licensed demolition contractor can do the teardown

The City requires a licensed demolition contractor for razing permits, with one exception: a homeowner can raze a detached garage or shed on their own property with a razing permit. If you hire someone, it must be a City-licensed demolition contractor. The code lets the Building Official waive the contractor licence for small utility structures, so ask DHCD before you hire.

Baltimore City DHCD: Razing (Demolition) Application Guidelines and Checklist (PDF) ↗Baltimore City DHCD: Permit Types (Razing and Moving Permit) ↗Baltimore City Building Code § 3303: Demolition ↗

02

The permit comes with a rodent certificate and an inspector visit

Before a structure is demolished, a Maryland-licensed pesticide applicator must certify the structure and lot are free of rodents. The razing packet also asks for an owner affidavit, MDE's Notification of Intent to Demolish form, a site plan and an on-site consultation with a building inspector. A yellow notice sign must be posted 5 to 10 days before work starts. A detached shed skips the liens, utility billing and transportation sign-offs.

Baltimore City DHCD: Razing (Demolition) Application Guidelines and Checklist (PDF) ↗Baltimore City Building Code § 105: Permits ↗

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

Will Baltimore pick up shed debris?

No. DPW picks up up to 3 bulk items a month on a scheduled Saturday, but it does not take building materials such as sheetrock, siding, wood pieces or roofing. That rules out a torn-down shed, though shelves and other contents can go out as bulk items. DPW suggests a licensed small hauler for more, and asks you to find out where they dump.

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 ↗

Quarantine Road Landfill & Residential Recycling Center

6100 Quarantine Road, Baltimore, MD

City-run landfill and residential drop-off center. It is the only DPW site where residents may bring construction and demolition debris, at the scale house. C&D must be non-hazardous, free of asbestos and lead-based materials, and sorted. Household trash, bulk items and scrap metal are free for City residents with valid ID.

Fees: $135 per ton for residents and commercial haulers disposing of solid waste or C&D at the landfill (since November 1, 2025). Licensed small haulers pay $20 a load up to 7,000 pounds.

Northwest Transfer Station

5030 Reisterstown Road, Baltimore, MD

City-run transfer station and residential drop-off center. Residents with valid City ID can drop household trash, bulk items and scrap metal free, but may bring C&D only to Quarantine Road.

No franchise hauler, but every hired hauler needs a City licence

Baltimore does not give one company the sole right to haul demolition debris; no City page read says so. Instead, the Health Code says no one may operate as a hauler in the City without a licence from the Health Commissioner, and no one may hire an unlicensed hauler. The rule covers anyone hauling waste for others, even under a City demolition permit. A resident hauling waste from their own home is exempt. Trucks under 7,000 pounds pay $35 a year; heavier ones pay $100. Ask any crew to show its City waste hauler licence.

Shed debris goes to Quarantine Road, not the neighborhood drop-off

DPW's five drop-off centers take household trash, bulk items and scrap metal free from City residents. Construction and demolition debris is different: residents may bring it only to the Quarantine Road Landfill scale house, at $135 a ton. Licensed small haulers can also use the Northwest Transfer Station. Neither site takes asbestos or lead-based materials.

Historic districts add a CHAP sign-off

Exterior work on properties in Baltimore's local historic districts and on City landmarks needs review by the Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP). For a razing permit, the City's checklist says you need CHAP's Authorization to Proceed and sign-off if the property is in a historic or landmark area. CHAP treats demolitions as major projects heard at a public hearing.

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.

What does the City razing permit cost for a shed?

The Building Code sets the demolition fee for accessory structures at $50 each. DHCD's estimator also adds an application fee and a 5% permit tax, and other agencies such as CHAP may charge their own fees. A separate permit is needed for each independent structure on the lot.

Baltimore City Building Code § 109: Fees ↗Baltimore City DHCD: Building Permits ↗Baltimore City DHCD: Razing (Demolition) Application Guidelines and Checklist (PDF) ↗

Where can I take a metal shed?

City residents can drop scrap metal free at DPW's drop-off centers, in a car, unmodified van or pickup no larger than 3/4 ton. Sims Metal's East Yard on Pulaski Highway buys ferrous and nonferrous metal and asks sellers for a government photo ID.

Baltimore City DPW: How to Use Drop-Off Centers ↗Sims Metal: Baltimore, MD (East Yard) ↗

The shed was built without a permit, and it's small. Do I still need a razing permit?

Yes. The City lets you build a one-story tool or storage shed up to 120 square feet without a permit, but that list covers building it. The same list says debris removal is exempt except in cases of interior or exterior demolition, and the razing permit covers accessory structures.

Baltimore City DHCD: Work Exempt From Permit (PDF) ↗Baltimore City DHCD: Permit Types (Razing and Moving Permit) ↗

What if the siding or roof might be asbestos?

MDE says friable asbestos in single-family homes is regulated during demolition unless the homeowner does the work, and contractors must notify MDE 10 working days ahead. Baltimore's landfill and transfer station refuse asbestos-containing materials. MDE's homeowner page links guidance on transite siding and asbestos roofing.

Maryland Department of the Environment: Asbestos for Homeowners ↗Maryland Department of the Environment: Asbestos for Contractors ↗Baltimore City DPW: How to Use Drop-Off Centers ↗

Do I need to call Miss Utility to pull posts or a slab?

Yes, if you dig. Miss Utility is Maryland's one-call center; contact it 3 to 12 business days before digging out piers, posts or a slab, or before demolition.
