SHED REMOVAL IN MIDDLETOWN

We take it down.
We haul it away.

How it works ↗

Shed removal is all we do. Wood, metal or resin, falling apart or still standing, we take your Middletown 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 Middletown 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.

01

Send a photo.

Show us the shed and the way out, and add your Middletown ZIP code. No payment, and it isn’t a booking.

PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL

Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?

Here’s what Middletown asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.

Middletown rules at a glance

Demolition permit

Yes. City code requires a demolition permit before a building comes down. The fee follows the City's valuation table: $60 for work valued at $1,000 or less. Questions: 513-425-7973.

Middletown Codified Ordinances § 1406.02: Demolition permits ↗City of Middletown: Building Inspections ↗

City pickup

No. Rumpke's large-item pickup for Middletown excludes bricks, concrete and building materials, so shed lumber and roofing don't go to the curb.

City of Middletown: Trash Collection ↗

Haul it yourself

Montgomery County Transfer and Recycling Facility. C&D disposal is listed at $60 a ton plus fees for all counties. Trash from out-of-county residents runs $55 a ton plus a $4.75 Ohio EPA fee and a county general fee; $5 minimum. Card payments carry a 2.3% fee.

Do I need a permit?Middletown 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 ↗

01

A teardown needs a demolition permit

Section 1406.02 says no owner or agent may demolish a building without a demolition permit, and no section exempts small sheds. The fee is based on the estimated cost: $60 for $1,000 or less, then $8 per $1,000 above that. It's at least $115 if the City must inspect a water or sewer disconnect. Whoever does the work needs $100,000 of liability insurance, which the Chief Building Official may waive when the shed sits far from the property lines. Email the form to BZPermits@cityofmiddletown.org or bring it to One Donham Plaza, 3rd floor; fees are due when you submit.

02

Utilities must be capped first

City code says all service utility connections must be discontinued and capped under the utility's rules, and the demolition form makes the applicant certify it. Middletown licenses the contractors who work on electric, plumbing, water and sewer lines, so have a licensed electrician cut and cap a shed circuit. Ohio's residential code also requires approval to remove an electrical, gas or plumbing system.

Middletown Codified Ordinances § 1408.09: Regulation of lots (utility caps) ↗City of Middletown: Demolition permit application (PDF) ↗City of Middletown: Building Inspections ↗Ohio Administrative Code 4101:8-1-01: Residential Code of Ohio, administration (PDF) ↗

Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.

Will Middletown pick up shed debris?

No. Middletown contracts with Rumpke for weekly trash at $21 a month, which includes one large item per week, but large-item pickup excludes bricks, concrete and building materials. Cans and bags are capped at 33 gallons and 70 pounds. Brush is taken if cut to 4 feet, tied in 2-foot bundles and kept under 70 pounds, but that rule covers yard waste, not lumber.

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 ↗

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.

Shed Gone

Priced from your photos

A 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.
