SHED REMOVAL IN TOMS RIVER
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 Toms River 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 Toms River 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 Toms River asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Toms River rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Likely, for most sheds. New Jersey's code makes it unlawful to demolish a structure without a permit. Sheds 200 sq ft or less are exempt from building permits, but that rule doesn't mention demolition.
City pickup
No. Toms River won't pick up construction or demolition debris at the curb. Residents may bring two 35-gallon containers of it to the Recycling Convenience Center twice a month.
What it costs
Shed Gone: a price from your photos, with teardown, haul-away and cleanup included.
Others here: No company publishes a shed price. Alco Junk Removal prices by truck volume, from $375 for a quarter load to $875 for a full truck. Others quote each job.
Do I need a permit?Toms River 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 ↗
Demolition needs a construction permit
Under the state Uniform Construction Code, N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.14(a), it is unlawful to demolish a structure without first applying to the construction official and getting a permit. For a demolition, the site plan must show what is coming down and what stays.
N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.14, construction permits: when required ↗N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.15, construction permits: application ↗
The 200-square-foot shed waiver
N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.14(b)8 waives the building permit for garden-type sheds 200 sq ft or less and 10 feet or less tall, at a home, with no water, gas, oil or sewer connection. It is written for building work and doesn't say demolition. An electrical permit is still required when there is wiring. Ask the Toms River Building Department (Town Hall, 732-341-1000) how it treats tearing one down.
N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.14, construction permits: when required ↗Toms River building permit and inspection process ↗
Contractors must be registered
When a contractor does home improvement work, including demolition of a structure on a home lot, New Jersey requires the contractor to be registered and to put the registration number on the permit application.
Call 811 three business days ahead
New Jersey law requires anyone digging, including a homeowner's contractor, to call New Jersey One Call at least three full business days before starting. That covers pulling posts, piers or anchors.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Toms River pick up shed debris?
No. The township will not pick up construction or demolition debris at the curb. Residents get one bulk pickup a month for items that don't fit the robo can, but not move-outs or large volumes. For small amounts, residents may take up to two 35-gallon containers of construction debris to the Recycling Convenience Center twice a month; loose debris is refused. Larger amounts must go to an approved landfill, such as the Ocean County Landfill on Route 70 in Manchester, hauled by you, a contractor or a licensed hauler.
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 ↗
Ocean County Landfill
2498 NJ-70, Manchester, NJ

What else should I know in Toms River?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
Asbestos goes to the landfill by appointment
Ocean County sends homeowners with asbestos material to the Ocean County Landfill on Route 70 in Manchester, and homeowners need an appointment first. Toms River's recycling center lists asbestos shingles the same way. Call the landfill at 732-323-8528 if old shed roofing or siding might contain it.
Ocean County asbestos disposal ↗Toms River Township Recycling Convenience Center ↗
Shed chemicals go to county collection days
Ocean County runs household hazardous waste collections every spring and fall, with registration required. Toms River lists stains, varnish, pesticides and driveway sealer for these events. The township recycling center takes water-based, oil-based and marine paint, but not varnish or thinners.
Toms River household hazardous waste program ↗Ocean County household hazardous waste ↗Toms River Township Recycling Convenience Center ↗
Scrap yards nearby for a metal shed
Ocean County keeps a list of private scrap metal recyclers, noting many pay for scrap. Tri-State Recycling in South Toms River (732-286-6358) is the closest on the list. Call first, since each yard sets its own rules.
Clean wood and concrete can be recycled
The county lists Class B recycling facilities for construction waste like concrete, asphalt and brick, and for clean wood. Two are in or next to Toms River: Ocean County Remanufacturing on Route 9 and Suffolk Recycling on Dover Road in South Toms River. Call to confirm what they're taking.

- What it sits on: slab, gravel, pavers, skids or blocks
- The route out: gates, steps, slopes and the narrowest gap

Shed Gone
Priced from your photosA 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.
Start a quote from photos ↗Other companies’ advertised prices
None of the companies that serve Toms River publishes a shed-specific price. Alco Junk Removal lists volume pricing, from $375 for a quarter load to $875 for a full truck. A-Lot-Cleaner publishes dumpster rentals from $435 if you tear the shed down yourself. The rest quote each job.
When you compare quotes, ask for one written total that covers dismantling, hauling, disposal fees and cleanup, and ask whether the contents, the floor and the slab or footings are included. What shed removal costs ↗

COMMON QUESTIONS
A few more answers.
Can the shed's windows, door and metal go to the recycling center?
Yes. The Toms River Recycling Convenience Center takes windows and doors and metal year-round, plus small amounts of cinder block and brick from residents only. Bring proof of residency in a pickup or smaller; contractors and commercial vehicles are turned away.
Will the township's metal pickup take a metal shed?
Maybe. The metal pickup is for items made mostly of metal, such as railings, poles and appliances. It doesn't name sheds, so call 732-255-1000, ext. 8170, describe the cut-down panels and get on the list.
What would a dumpster cost for a do-it-yourself teardown?
A-Lot-Cleaner in Toms River lists a 10/11-yard dumpster for $435, including 1.25 tons, for a 7-day rental. Mileage fees may apply. Shingles and concrete add weight fast, so ask about overweight charges.
Is the landfill free for Toms River residents?
Not that we could find. The Ocean County Landfill is privately owned and not part of the county's solid waste department, and it doesn't post a public rate online. Call 732-323-8528 before you load up.
