PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL
Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?
Here’s what St. Louis asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
St. Louis rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. Tearing down a garage or shed needs a City demolition permit, $25, good for 30 days. An owner can pull it in person; a hired crew must be City-certified.

City pickup
No, not a whole shed. Bulk pickup takes up to three items a month. The City says to take old lumber and roofing to its transfer stations or hire a commercial hauler.

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 demolition permit for the shed
The Building Division requires a permit for any wrecking or demolishing work in the City, and says an owner may get one for a garage or shed. The fee for a garage or shed is $25, and the permit is good for 30 days. Apply in person at the Permit Section, City Hall Room 425, 1200 Market St., with photos of all four sides of the shed and of the neighboring lots. If you aren't the owner, bring a notarized letter from the owner naming who will do the work and the cost.
City of St. Louis Building Division: Apply for a Demolition Permit ↗
Small-shed exemption is for building, not removal
The City's residential permit guide says accessory buildings of 50 square feet or less don't need a building permit if they meet zoning setbacks. That exemption covers putting a shed up. The demolition page has no size exemption for taking one down; for partial demolition it says to call the Permit Section.
City of St. Louis Building Division: When a Residential Building Permit is Needed ↗City of St. Louis Building Division: Apply for a Demolition Permit ↗
Utilities off first
The City's demolition handbook asks contractors for written proof from Ameren and Spire that electric and gas service is disconnected, and for water and sewer lines to be cut off by a licensed plumber with a plumbing permit. Most sheds have none of these, but one with a power line needs it handled before teardown.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will St. Louis pick up shed debris?
Not as a whole shed. The Refuse Division's monthly bulk pickup takes up to three items, such as furniture, appliances, bundled branches and logs, set at the curb or alley; bundles can't weigh over 100 pounds or run longer than 6 feet, and collectors won't come onto private property. For large amounts of old lumber, plaster or roofing, the City says not to overload the dumpsters and to hire a commercial waste hauler or bring it to a City transfer station. Residents can drop off up to 12 loads a year free at the North and South Transfer Stations.

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 ↗

Every hauler needs a City hauling permit
St. Louis has no franchise hauler for demolition debris. But City code bars anyone from hauling refuse to or from a point in the City without a hauling permit and a vehicle permit from the Director of Streets. A "hauler" includes anyone carrying demolition materials for a fee or for their business. Each truck or trailer is inspected, pays $12 a year and carries a windshield sticker; permits run October 1 to September 30. The rule covers removal companies, not just roll-off containers. Code also makes it a violation to cause or permit hauling by someone without a permit, and the debris stays the owner's property until it is properly dumped.

Hired crews need City demolition certification
The Building Division says demolition permits must be pulled by a demolition contractor certified by the City. Contractors apply to the Demolition Contractors' Certification Board, appear at a hearing, pay a $30 filing fee for a 12-month certificate, and carry liability insurance and a bond of at least $5,000. The City publishes no list of certified contractors; ask the Permit Section, (314) 622-3313.

Historic districts and Preservation Review Districts
The City has 18 local historic districts, among them Soulard, Lafayette Square, Shaw, Benton Park and the Central West End, and separate Preservation Review Districts. The Cultural Resources Office reviews demolitions in these areas, and in a Preservation Review District no demolition permit may be issued without its approval. Check your address on the Office's map or call (314) 657-3865.

Asbestos goes through the City's air program
Missouri's asbestos rules exempt a single residential structure with four or fewer dwelling units, and the state says most single-family homes are exempt. Inside the City, the St. Louis Division of Air Pollution Control enforces asbestos rules (314-613-7300). The City's demolition handbook says every structure to be demolished needs an asbestos inspection by a licensed contractor first. Old roofing shingles and felts can contain asbestos.

- 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.

How much does shed removal cost in St. Louis?

Among other companies, LoadUp shows $94 to $1,559 for a shed in the City of St. Louis, lower if it's already taken apart.

Where can I take shed debris myself?
City residents can bring residential construction and demolition debris, scrap metal and wood scraps to the North Transfer Station (71 Angelica St.) or the South Transfer Station (4100 South 1st Street) at no extra charge, up to 12 loads a year, weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Loads must fit a half-ton pickup with no trailer.

What about the concrete pad?
The City transfer stations take bricks and other residential demolition materials but not dirt. Champ Landfill lists concrete and asphalt among accepted waste. MrJunk says a shed set in a concrete foundation that needs digging out is beyond its scope. No City rule on whether a shed slab must come out was found; ask the Permit Section.
City of St. Louis Refuse Division: North Transfer Station ↗Champ Landfill: Materials ↗MrJunk: Shed & Storage Building Removal ↗
Do I need an electrical permit to disconnect the shed's power?
Electrical permits go to City-licensed electrical contractors, or to owners of single-family homes they live in who pass a short test; the application fee is $25. The City doesn't say whether cutting a shed circuit needs its own permit, so ask the Permit Section at (314) 622-3313. Before digging out posts or footings, call 811.
City of St. Louis Building Division: Apply for an Electrical Permit ↗Call 811 ↗
What do I do with paint, gas and chemicals in the shed?
The transfer stations don't take household hazardous waste. The regional household hazardous waste program serves City, St. Louis County and Jefferson County households by reservation at North and South facilities. The first 50 pounds are free and more is $1.70 a pound; latex paint is $0.50 a pound.
