SHED REMOVAL IN APEX
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 Apex 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 Apex 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 Apex asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Apex rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. Apex's demolition permit requires an inspection before any structure comes down, to confirm all utilities are cut off, plus an asbestos report. The Town lists the demolition permit at $150.
Town of Apex: Demolition Permit Application (PDF) ↗Town of Apex: Fee Schedule, effective July 1, 2026 (PDF) ↗
City pickup
No. Apex's paid bulk pickup doesn't collect construction, demolition or remodeling materials. It can take shed contents like furniture for a $30 trip fee.
Haul it yourself
Wake County Convenience Center, Site 2. No fee is listed on the County page.

Shed Gone: a price from your photos, with teardown, haul-away and cleanup included.
Others here: Oak City Hauling publishes $650 to $950 to demolish and haul a standing 10x12 shed, or $299 to $549 if it's already down. LoadUp shows $94 to $1,559 for a shed in Wake County.

Do I need a permit?Apex 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 ↗
What the demolition permit asks for
Apex uses a separate application for demolition. Before any structure is demolished, the Town inspects to confirm every utility has been properly terminated. The application calls for an asbestos report, Planning Department sign-off, and Water Resources approval of erosion control measures before the permit is issued and before site work starts (919-362-8166, option 4). Work costing over $40,000 also needs a lien form and workers' comp papers. Apply through Building Inspections & Permitting, (919) 249-3418.
Town of Apex: Demolition Permit Application (PDF) ↗Town of Apex: Obtaining a Building Permit ↗
Historic registry and downtown overlay check
The Planning section of the demolition form asks whether the site is on a historic registry and whether it lies in the Small Town Character Overlay District, and Planning can add conditions. If your home is in or near downtown or is a listed historic property, call Planning at (919) 249-3426 before you schedule the teardown.
Wiring and buried lines
Apex says all installations or modifications to electrical systems require a permit, and the demolition form has an electrical section for the contractor who disconnects the shed. If posts or a slab will be dug out, request an NC811 locate; NC811 notes that private lines on private property, like a buried feed to a shed, aren't marked.
Town of Apex: Building Code Inspections FAQ ↗Town of Apex: Demolition Permit Application (PDF) ↗NC811 ↗
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Apex pick up shed debris?
No. Apex Public Works picks up large household items from the curb by request, but its list of items not collected starts with construction, demolition and remodeling materials. The service costs a $30 trip fee for one or two items or $15 an item for three or more, added to your utility bill, and isn't available to businesses or apartments. Staff won't go onto private property, so items must be at the curb by 6 a.m. Shed contents such as furniture can go; the lumber, siding and shingles can't.
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 ↗
Wake County Convenience Center, Site 2
6120 Old Smithfield Road, Apex, NC
County drop-off for Wake County residents. Takes household construction debris from homeowners only, with a verification form, plus scrap metal and garbage including bulky items under 8 feet. Does not take concrete, bricks or pavers, railroad ties, or contractor waste unless the homeowner is present. Whole sheds aren't mentioned; bring it in pieces.
Fees: No fee is listed on the County page.
Before you go: Open daily, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. A box truck, dual-axle or enclosed trailer needs a free Trash Pass first. Secure open loads. Questions: 919-856-7400.
Liberty Waste Solutions, Apex Mixed Waste & Processing Facility
520 Pristine Water Dr., Apex, NC 27539
Private construction and demolition transfer station and recycling yard listed by Wake County for C&D debris. Accepts C&D debris, concrete, bricks, asphalt, rebar, pallets and tree debris. Painted concrete and painted wood are not accepted.

Hauling rules: a Town permit for garbage, a County license for haulers
Apex's code says no one may collect or haul garbage on Town streets without a permit from the Town Council. The same article defines garbage to exclude building material scraps, and makes removing scrap building materials the owner's job, so it's unclear whether the permit reaches a crew hauling shed debris. The Town publishes no list of permit holders; GFL is its contracted household garbage collector. Wake County separately requires anyone collecting solid waste for others to hold a $100 Solid Waste Hauler's Privilege License; most companies listed here are on the County's list.
Apex Code of Ordinances, Chapter 12, Article IV: Solid Waste Disposal ↗Town of Apex: Garbage, Recycling & Yard Waste ↗Wake County: Waste Haulers ↗Wake County: Fiscal Year 2027 Licensed Haulers (PDF) ↗
The Town may be your power company
Apex supplies electricity to most homes inside Town limits, but a few subdivisions, such as Waterford Green, Beckett Crossing, Carriage Downs and Sunset Hills, aren't on Town electric. The demolition permit form asks whether the Town of Apex Electrical Division or Duke Energy will disconnect the structure's power, so know your supplier before you apply for a wired shed.

Disposal sites cluster on Old Smithfield Road
Wake County's Convenience Center Site 2 (6120 Old Smithfield Road) and the South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility (6130 Old Smithfield Road) both have Apex addresses. Site 2 takes homeowner construction debris and scrap metal; the recycling facility takes scrap metal. Liberty Waste Solutions' C&D transfer station at 520 Pristine Water Dr. in Apex takes contractor loads and concrete for a fee.
Wake County: Convenience Centers ↗Wake County: Multi-Material Recycling Facilities ↗Liberty Waste Solutions: Apex ↗
County sites take shed debris only from homeowners
Wake County accepts construction and demolition debris only from Wake County homeowners. Its resources page says that excludes tenants and contractors working for homeowners, and its convenience center rules allow a contractor's load only if the homeowner is there at drop-off. Debris a removal company hauls goes to a private facility such as Liberty's Apex site.

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.

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.

LoadUp: Apex Shed Removal ↗Oak City Hauling: Shed Removal & Demolition ↗Junk Terminators: Shed Removal ↗
What does the Apex demolition permit cost?
The Town's fee schedule, effective July 1, 2026, lists Demolition (All Trades) at $150. For comparison, a permit to build a shed of 400 sq ft or less is $75. Asbestos testing, if you need a report, is a separate cost.
Where can I take shed debris myself?
If you own your Apex home, Wake County Convenience Center Site 2 at 6120 Old Smithfield Road takes household construction debris from homeowners, with a verification form, daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Bring a car, pickup or single-axle trailer; a box truck, dual-axle or enclosed trailer needs a free Trash Pass first. Bulky pieces must be under 8 feet.
Where does a concrete slab or block foundation go?
Not to the curb or a County convenience center: neither takes concrete, bricks or pavers. Liberty Waste Solutions at 520 Pristine Water Dr. takes concrete, bricks and C&D debris for $51 a ton with a 1-ton minimum plus a 5% environmental fee. It won't take painted concrete or painted wood, so ask before bringing a painted shed.
Liberty Waste Solutions: Apex Price List, effective May 1, 2026 (PDF) ↗Wake County: Convenience Centers ↗
Can I recycle a metal shed?
Yes. The South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility at 6130 Old Smithfield Road takes scrap metal from residents and businesses, Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Convenience center Site 2 next door takes scrap metal too. Keep metal panels apart from wood and shingles.
Wake County: Multi-Material Recycling Facilities ↗Wake County: Convenience Centers ↗
What about paint, gas and chemicals left in the shed?
Apex's bulk pickup won't take household hazardous waste such as motor oil and paint, and Wake County convenience centers turn away paint, gas, propane tanks and chemicals. Take them to a Wake County Household Hazardous Waste facility. Drain gas and oil from mowers before the metal goes to scrap.
