SHED REMOVAL IN KENTWOOD
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 Kentwood 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 Kentwood 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 Kentwood asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Kentwood rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Not confirmed for sheds. Kentwood lists a $200 demolition permit, but its FAQ exempts sheds under 200 sq ft and doesn't name demolition. Ask Inspections at 616-554-0700.
City of Kentwood: Inspections Department Fee Schedule, effective Feb. 4, 2025 (PDF) ↗City of Kentwood Inspections: Frequently Asked Questions ↗City of Kentwood: Demolition Permit Application (PDF) ↗
City pickup
No. Kentwood residents hire a City-licensed hauler: Arrowaste, Republic Services or Waste Management. Ask yours whether it takes shed debris.
City of Kentwood: Licensed Waste Haulers 2025-26 (PDF) ↗Kent County DPW: Resources for Waste Haulers ↗
Haul it yourself
South Kent Recycling & Waste Center (Kent County DPW). Residents pay by vehicle load for up to 1,400 lb: $30 car trunk, $40 pickup, van or SUV, $40 trailer alone, $50 car and trailer, $60 truck and trailer, then a prorated per-ton charge. Scrap metal is free. Commercial haulers pay $53.64 a ton for construction and demolition debris. Rates effective October 1, 2026; cards add a convenience fee.

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 ↗
Demolition permit and fee
Kentwood's Inspections Department posts a Demolition Permit Application, and its fee schedule, effective February 4, 2025, lists demolition at $200 with no plan review fee. The FAQ says a building permit is needed when a building is erected, altered, enlarged, repaired, moved or converted, and that sheds under 200 square feet need no permit; it doesn't address taking one down.
City of Kentwood Inspections: Permit Applications ↗City of Kentwood: Inspections Department Fee Schedule, effective Feb. 4, 2025 (PDF) ↗City of Kentwood Inspections: Frequently Asked Questions ↗
Utilities disconnected first
The demolition application asks for proof that gas, electric, phone, cable and water and sewer service are disconnected, and a plumbing permit from the City to cut and cap water and sewer lines, with a City inspection. Most sheds have none of these, but a shed with water or power does.
Who may pull an electrical permit
A homeowner who lives in a single-family home may get the electrical permit for work on the house or accessory structures on the same lot and do the work; otherwise a licensed contractor pulls it.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Kentwood pick up shed debris?
No. The City doesn't run trash pickup; Kent County tells residents outside Grand Rapids to contact a private hauler. Kentwood licenses Arrowaste, Republic Services and Waste Management for residential service in 2025-26. The City doesn't say whether they take shed lumber or shingles as bulk items.

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 ↗
South Kent Recycling & Waste Center (Kent County DPW)
10300 South Kent Drive, Byron Center, MI 49315
Home of Kent County's only open, active municipal solid waste landfill. It takes trash drop-offs from residents and businesses, plus free scrap metal recycling.

Asbestos is on the County's unacceptable-waste list, and the County may reject any load.
Fees: Residents pay by vehicle load for up to 1,400 lb: $30 car trunk, $40 pickup, van or SUV, $40 trailer alone, $50 car and trailer, $60 truck and trailer, then a prorated per-ton charge. Scrap metal is free. Commercial haulers pay $53.64 a ton for construction and demolition debris. Rates effective October 1, 2026; cards add a convenience fee.

What else should I know in Kentwood?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
Waste haulers need a City license and decals
Kentwood has no exclusive demolition-debris hauler. The City Clerk licenses waste haulers at $35 a year for each rubbish hauling vehicle, with a City decal, vehicle registration and proof of $100,000/$300,000 bodily injury and $100,000 property damage insurance. The 2025-26 list names three residential haulers and three dumpster and other services. Kent County licenses haulers too. Neither source says whether a crew hauling its own teardown debris needs the license.

Spring cleanup day takes general debris
At Kentwood's Community Cleanup Day (May 2 in 2026, at the Public Works facility, 5068 Breton Ave. SE), GFL Environmental takes residents' general debris and trash, including large items. It is for Kentwood residents only, with ID checked at the Breton Avenue entrance. The page doesn't mention construction debris, so ask Public Works at 616.554.0817 before bringing shed lumber.
Scrap metal close to the south side
Kent County lists Grand Rapids Iron and Metal at 7915 S Division Avenue as taking any type of scrap metal. The County's own drop-offs, including South Kent in Byron Center, take scrap metal free.
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.

PADNOS Burton Recycling Center ↗Kent County DPW: Scrap Metals ↗
Is an old shed an asbestos job?
Not under the federal rule for most homes: Michigan EGLE says privately owned homes with four or fewer units aren't subject to the asbestos NESHAP. Kent County still won't accept asbestos at its facilities, so test old cement siding or roofing first.
Michigan EGLE: Understanding the Asbestos NESHAP (fact sheet) ↗Kent County DPW: Appendix A, Unacceptable Waste (PDF) ↗
Do I need to call before pulling posts or a slab?
Yes. Michigan law requires utility lines to be flagged before any digging. Contact MISS DIG 811, a free service, before you pull footings, posts or ground anchors.
