- The slab, gravel pad or footings, if you want them out

PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL
Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?
Here’s what St. Charles asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
St. Charles rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Maybe not. The City says structures of 500 sq ft or less with no utilities may not need a demolition permit. Otherwise it's $100 plus a $500 deposit, and historic districts need Landmarks Board approval.
City pickup
No. Republic's free bulk pickup excludes construction material of any kind, and weekly trash won't take lumber, siding or roofing from home projects.
City of St. Charles: Appliance, Bulk and Electronic Collections ↗City of St. Charles: Trash Guidelines ↗
Haul it yourself
Recycle City walk-in trash disposal (City of St. Peters). General public: $125 minimum for up to 2,000 pounds, then $0.06 a pound, plus a $3.20-a-ton landfill tax. Residents of the host city with a Resident Privilege Card pay a $40 minimum for up to 800 pounds, up to 3 tons a year.

Do I need a permit?St. Charles 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 ↗
Larger sheds, or any with utilities, need a demolition permit
For a permit, the City asks for an application with the square footage, structure type and a site photo; utility abandonment letters; a $500,000 certificate of insurance from a licensed demolition contractor; a Demolition Contractor's License from the Finance Department's Collections Division (636-949-3212); a $500 deposit, refunded after a post-demolition inspection; and a $100 fee. Permits expire three months after issue. Structures of 500 square feet or less with no utilities may not need one, so confirm with Community Development.
Clear the debris within 30 days
After a demolition, the City requires the site to be cleared of all rubble and debris within 30 days and any needed grades restored to pass final inspection. Hazardous materials must be handled with Missouri DNR before demolition starts.
The 144-square-foot rule is for building, not removal
The Building Division says utility sheds under 144 square feet without electric generally don't need a building permit, and larger sheds do. That rule covers putting a shed up. For tearing one down, go by the demolition page's 500-square-foot, no-utilities guidance.
City of St. Charles: Building Division ↗City of St. Charles: Demolition Permit Information ↗
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will St. Charles pick up shed debris?
No. Republic Services, the City's trash contractor, picks up two bulk items a week free, but its list of unacceptable bulk items includes concrete and construction material of any kind. The Trash Guidelines add that construction material from home projects, such as 2 by 4s, plywood, siding and roofing shingles, won't go out with weekly trash, and point you to a Republic roll-off instead (636-255-6142).
City of St. Charles: Appliance, Bulk and Electronic Collections ↗City of St. Charles: Trash Guidelines ↗
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 ↗
Recycle City walk-in trash disposal (City of St. Peters)
131 Ecology Drive, St. Peters, MO 63376
City-run walk-in trash disposal that is open to the general public. Fees are based on the volume and type of trash. It does not take tires, yard waste, paint, engine oil or other flammable liquids, asbestos, sealed drums, gas bottles or hazardous materials, and loads with prohibited or falsely identified items draw a $250 fee. The page doesn't list lumber or construction debris either way, so call ahead with a shed load.
Fees: General public: $125 minimum for up to 2,000 pounds, then $0.06 a pound, plus a $3.20-a-ton landfill tax. Residents of the host city with a Resident Privilege Card pay a $40 minimum for up to 800 pounds, up to 3 tons a year.
Before you go: Check in at the scale house. Open Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.; hand unloaders must arrive 30 minutes before closing. MasterCard, Visa or Discover only, and vehicles need valid plates, including a front plate. Solid Waste Services: 636-970-1456.
Champ Landfill (Waste Connections)
2280 Maryland Heights Expy, Maryland Heights, MO 63043
Permitted landfill for household, demolition and special waste that says it serves the whole region. It lists construction debris, concrete and asphalt, and clean fill among accepted waste. It does not take major appliances, whole tires, propane tanks, hazardous waste or yard waste.
Fees: The rate sheet lists construction and demolition as "$329.90 per ton/minimum", plus a $2.11 state fee and a $3.06 county fee ($335.07 total; rates effective January 1, 2026). It does not say whether that is a per-ton rate, a minimum charge or both, so call before you go. Non-friable asbestos is priced separately.

Recycle Works - Central (St. Charles County)
60 Triad South Drive, St. Charles, MO 63304
County recycling center. It takes scrap metal from St. Charles County residents and all types of aluminum, so a metal shed cut into pieces can go here.

Fees: No charge is listed for scrap metal; fees apply to appliances and electronics.

What else should I know in St. Charles?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
No franchise for demolition debris, but haulers need a City license
St. Charles contracts household trash to Republic Services, and City code reserves household garbage and rubbish to the City or its authorized collector. The code's definition of rubbish leaves out construction materials and debris from tearing down buildings, so shed debris isn't part of that franchise. Separately, anyone in the business of hauling garbage, rubbish, yard waste or recyclables from homes needs a hauler's license, a vehicle license for each truck and a driver license from the Finance Director. The hauler's license costs $50 a year and requires $1 million per person and $5 million per occurrence in liability insurance.
St. Charles City Code Chapter 245, Article I: Solid Waste General Provisions (§245.010, §245.020, §245.140) ↗St. Charles City Code Chapter 245, Article V: Solid Waste Hauler or Collector Licensing (§245.400–245.410) ↗City of St. Charles: Trash Guidelines ↗
Frenchtown and the historic districts need a Landmarks certificate
In the Frenchtown and Commons preservation districts, City code says no one may demolish or remove structures, in whole or in part, without a certificate of demolition or removal from the Historic Landmarks Preservation and Architectural Review Board. In the Extended Historic Preservation District, that rule does not apply to accessory buildings under 500 square feet unless the Community Development Director refers one to the Board. The Board meets monthly; Community Development (636-949-3222) can tell you whether your address is in a district.
St. Charles City Code §400.340–400.380: Superimposed historic districts ↗City of St. Charles: Demolition Permit Information ↗
Utility letters come before a demolition permit
When a demolition permit is needed, the City wants letters from Spire, Ameren and Public Works saying gas, electric, water and sewer have been abandoned, and a letter from Spire even if the property never had gas. Public Works must inspect the capped sewer and the cut water line before backfilling. Ameren's construction hotline is 866-992-6619 and Spire's abandonment desk is 314-499-5604.
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.

Where can I take shed debris myself?
The City runs no drop-off of its own. St. Peters' Recycle City on Ecology Drive takes walk-in trash from the general public, with a $125 minimum for up to 2,000 pounds. Champ Landfill in Maryland Heights lists construction debris and concrete among accepted waste. County residents can take scrap metal to Recycle Works Central on Triad South Drive.
City of St. Peters: Walk-in Trash Disposal ↗Champ Landfill: Materials ↗St. Charles County: Recycle Works - Central ↗
Who can pull the demolition permit?
The City's checklist asks for insurance from a licensed demolition contractor and a Demolition Contractor's License issued by the Finance Department. It doesn't describe a homeowner permit. If your shed needs a permit, ask your crew whether it holds the City license.
What about the concrete pad?
Republic's bulk pickup won't take concrete. Champ Landfill lists concrete and asphalt among accepted waste. MrJunk says a shed built into a concrete foundation that needs excavation is beyond its scope, so ask any crew whether slab removal is included.
City of St. Charles: Appliance, Bulk and Electronic Collections ↗Champ Landfill: Materials ↗MrJunk: Shed & Storage Building Removal ↗
Could old shingles contain asbestos?
They can. Missouri DNR says older roofing shingles and felts may contain asbestos. Its demolition rules exempt a single residential structure with four or fewer dwelling units, and it says most single-family homes are exempt. The City's demolition page says hazardous material issues must be settled with DNR before demolition starts.
