SHED REMOVAL IN CHARLESTON
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 Charleston 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 Charleston 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 Charleston asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Charleston rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes, as published. The City issues demolition permits through its Permit Center, with proof that utilities are disconnected and a final inspection. No size exemption for a small shed was found. Call 843-577-5550.
City of Charleston: General Permitting Guidance, Demolition (PDF, October 2025) ↗City of Charleston: Permit Center ↗
City pickup
Only a little. City trash takes up to 90 gallons of a homeowner's own building debris per collection, and nothing from a hired contractor's work. A whole shed is more than that.
Charleston City Code Chapter 14: Garbage, Trash and Refuse ↗City of Charleston: Garbage, Trash & Refuse Regulations flyer (PDF) ↗
Haul it yourself
Bees Ferry Landfill and Convenience Center (Charleston County). No drop-off fee is listed for residents at County convenience centers, which the County's solid waste user fee funds ($150 a year per single-family home, on the property tax bill). The landfill lists municipal solid waste at $100 a ton.

Do I need a permit?Charleston 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 ↗
A demolition permit, with utilities cut off first
The City's demolition permit covers complete or partial demolition. The application needs proof that water, sewer, gas and electric service to the building are disconnected, plus an erosion control certification, and a BAR or DRB application if the property is in a designated district. A final inspection checks that utilities were properly terminated and the site is cleared and graded. If a building has an uncapped sewer or stormwater connection, the owner must post a $500 cash bond until it is capped.
City of Charleston: General Permitting Guidance, Demolition (PDF, October 2025) ↗Charleston City Code Chapter 7: Buildings and Building Regulations ↗
Asbestos notice only in limited cases
The City's demolition guidance says SC Department of Environmental Services notification may be needed if asbestos-containing materials will be removed. SCDES says demolition of a private home with four or fewer units is exempt unless, for example, it is part of a larger commercial or public project or was used for non-residential purposes. Questions go to the SCDES Asbestos Section at 803-898-4289.

Digging out posts, piers or a slab
Before digging out anchors, piers or a slab, call 811 or submit a locate request through SC811 so buried utilities can be marked.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Charleston pick up shed debris?
Only a small amount. City code says the City won't collect lumber, roofing, bricks and similar material from a contractor's work. Building debris a homeowner generates is collected only up to 90 gallons per trash collection, and the City's flyer says construction materials over 90 gallons (about 3 by 4 by 1 feet) shouldn't go to the curb. Small personal construction materials and wood or metal scrap can go out with weekly trash.

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 ↗
Bees Ferry Landfill and Convenience Center (Charleston County)
1344 Bees Ferry Rd., Charleston, SC 29414
The County landfill here does not accept construction and demolition waste from private or commercial haulers. The staffed convenience center on the same site takes residents' C&D and bulk items, including wood and lumber cut under 4 feet, plus scrap metal and small amounts of cement or bricks. Shingles and stucco are not taken in the C&D zone.
Fees: No drop-off fee is listed for residents at County convenience centers, which the County's solid waste user fee funds ($150 a year per single-family home, on the property tax bill). The landfill lists municipal solid waste at $100 a ton.
Before you go: Residents only: bring a government photo ID with a Charleston County address. Convenience center open Monday to Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; double-axle trailers and box trucks need an appointment at 843-720-7111. Landfill questions: 843-571-0929.

Berkeley County Landfill (Berkeley County Water & Sanitation)
2277 Highway 52, Moncks Corner, SC 29461

No franchised demolition hauler, but debris must go to a state-permitted landfill
No City franchise or hauler permit for construction and demolition debris was found. City code makes the owner or contractor arrange collection and disposal of demolition debris, or, if they haul it themselves, take it to a state-permitted landfill, and either can be asked for proof. The City's demolition guidance says a South Carolina contractor license isn't required for demolition, but a City of Charleston business license is.
Charleston City Code Chapter 14: Garbage, Trash and Refuse ↗City of Charleston: General Permitting Guidance, Demolition (PDF, October 2025) ↗
The County landfill won't take a hired crew's demolition debris
Charleston County's Bees Ferry Landfill does not accept construction and demolition waste from private or commercial haulers. The County convenience centers take C&D debris only from residents in their own vehicles. A hired crew has to use a private or out-of-county site, such as the Berkeley County Landfill in Moncks Corner, which lists a C&D rate.

Check that your address is inside city limits
Not every Charleston mailing address is inside city limits. The Permit Center asks you to confirm your address on the City's GIS map before applying, and points to Charleston County and Berkeley County GIS for addresses outside the City. In outer West Ashley, Johns Island, Daniel Island and Cainhoy, City trash is collected by Trident Waste, not City crews.

Demolition review in the historic districts
The Board of Architectural Review reviews any demolition in the Old and Historic District, regardless of age, and demolition of buildings 50 years or older south of Mount Pleasant Street, plus Landmark Overlay properties. For a demolition request, an on-site meeting with preservation staff and BAR members is required.

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.

What about a metal shed or the concrete slab?
Charleston Steel & Metal in North Charleston buys steel, tin and aluminum from individuals; steel only needs a picture ID. County convenience centers take scrap metal and small quantities of cement or bricks, but not a whole slab.

What about old paint and gas left in the shed?
County convenience centers take household hazardous waste such as old paint and pesticides. Used gasoline is accepted only at the Bees Ferry Road center, and you leave the container. Keep these out of the debris pile.
