PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL
Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?
Here’s what Summerville asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Summerville rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. Summerville says a demolition-only job needs a demo permit, and its code applies permit rules to all detached accessory structures regardless of size. The fee is $50 plus a $30 administrative fee.
Town of Summerville Building FAQ: Will I need to pull a separate demo permit? ↗Summerville Code Chapter 6: Buildings and Building Regulations (§ 6-37, § 6-38) ↗Town of Summerville: Schedule of Permit Fees (PDF) ↗
City pickup
Not confirmed. Town code says construction debris won't be picked up, though the monthly bulk pickup page lists boards and fencing. Concrete is never collected; ask Public Works (843-851-4225) first.

Do I need a permit?Summerville 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 ↗
Getting the demolition permit
Summerville's Building Department says a job that only includes demolition needs a demo permit. Apply through the Town's CitizenServe portal. The fee schedule lists $50 to demolish any building or structure up to 100,000 cubic feet, plus a $30 administrative fee for each permit. Under the Town's code amendments, a demolition permit lapses if work doesn't start within 60 days of issuance. Contractors must hold the right state license and a Town business license. Questions: 843-851-5200.

No small-shed exemption
Many towns skip permits for small sheds; Summerville doesn't. Town Code § 6-38 amends the building codes' permit sections to include all detached accessory structures regardless of square footage. The Town's pages don't say a small teardown is exempt either.
Summerville Code Chapter 6: Buildings and Building Regulations (§ 6-37, § 6-38) ↗
Historic District: Board of Architectural Review first
The Board of Architectural Review reviews new construction, exterior changes and demolition of buildings in Summerville's Downtown Historic District, using its Historic District Design Guidelines. For projects in the district, the Town's residential permit page says BAR approval must be granted before you submit the permit application. Ask Planning whether your shed counts as a building that needs review.
Town of Summerville: Historic District / Board of Architectural Review ↗Town of Summerville: Building Permit Process, Residential ↗
Wiring, buried lines and asbestos
If the shed has power, have the circuit made safe before demolition. Call 811 before pulling posts or breaking up a slab. SCDES exempts the demolition of a private home with four or fewer units from its asbestos notice rules in most cases, but old asbestos cement panels and roofing felt can still need lab testing before they go in a dumpster.

Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Summerville pick up shed debris?
Not confirmed. The Town's Public Works crews pick up bulk waste once a month, in the 2nd and 3rd full weeks, and the Town's bulk page lists furniture, appliances, boards and fencing. But Town Code § 12-99(d) says construction debris will not be picked up by the Town, and the bulk page says crews never take concrete, combustible materials, paint, sand, tree stumps or tires. Boards and lumber also can't be mixed into yard debris piles. Call Public Works at 843-851-4225 before setting out a torn-down shed, and don't put it out more than seven days early.

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 ↗
Dorchester County Knightsville (Bucks) Convenience Site
1941 Central Avenue, Summerville, SC 29483
Staffed drop-off for Dorchester County residents. It is one of five County sites with containers for construction and demolition debris, which the state listing describes as lumber, shingles, windows, doors, bricks and blocks, and it also takes furniture, large appliances and scrap metal items. Loads from contractors or commercial businesses are not accepted.
Fees: No fee is published.
Before you go: Open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; closed Wednesday and Sunday. Bring proof of residency. No vehicle larger than a 3/4-ton pickup and no trailer larger than a single axle, 8 by 5 by 2 feet. Questions: (843) 832-0070.

Carolina Landfill (Carolina Waste)
355 Harrison Road, Dorchester, SC 29437
Private Class II landfill permitted by the state to receive industrial and construction and demolition debris. Dorchester County also points residents here for yard debris its convenience sites can't take.
Fees: Not published.
Before you go: Call (843) 462-2401 for rates, hours and load rules before you go.
Carolina Waste: Carolina Landfill ↗Dorchester County: Yard Debris ↗
Berkeley County Landfill (Berkeley County Water & Sanitation)
2277 Highway 52, Moncks Corner, SC 29461
County landfill with a scale house that lists a tipping fee for construction and demolition debris. Contractors pay at the gate when they leave.
Fees: Construction and demolition debris: $100 a ton with a 1-ton minimum. In-state checks with a copy of the signer's license, Visa, MasterCard or cash.
Before you go: Open Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. No help unloading. Call 843-572-4400 to confirm a load from outside Berkeley County is accepted.
Charleston Steel & Metal
2700 Spruill Avenue, North Charleston, SC 29405
Scrap metal buyer that takes steel and cast iron, tin, aluminum, copper and brass from individuals, which covers a metal shed's panels and frame once wood and other materials are removed.
Fees: It buys scrap; no prices are published. A picture ID is enough to sell steel; some non-ferrous metals need a South Carolina non-ferrous metals transportation permit.
Before you go: Open Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to noon. Call 843-722-7278.

Hauler rules: no franchise found for shed debris, but a Town business license is required
Summerville's solid waste code lets the Town contract out collection; Carolina Waste collects household garbage and recycling, and the Town's own crews run bulk and yard pickup. No exclusive hauler or franchise rule for construction or demolition debris turned up in the code's solid waste article or business chapter. Section 12-99(d) says construction debris won't be picked up by the Town. Any new business must have a Town business license before operating, and the Building Department says contractors need one too.

Which county's drop-off sites you use
The Town's bulk page sends residents to their own county for items it won't collect. Most of Summerville is in Dorchester County, whose Knightsville (Bucks) site on Central Avenue and Old Fort (Oakbrook) site on Old Fort Drive in Ladson take C&D debris from residents. Homes on the Berkeley County side use Berkeley County's centers or its landfill, and the Charleston County side uses Charleston County's convenience centers. Each county asks for proof of residency.
Town of Summerville: Yard Debris & Bulk Waste Service ↗Dorchester County: Construction & Demolition Debris ↗SCDES: Dorchester County Recycling Locations ↗Berkeley County Water & Sanitation: Recycling and Convenience Centers ↗Charleston County: Recycling & Convenience Centers ↗
Dorchester sites take shingles and bricks, within vehicle limits
Unlike Charleston County's centers, Dorchester County's C&D containers are listed as taking shingles, bricks and blocks along with lumber, windows and doors. The limits are on the vehicle: nothing larger than a 3/4-ton pickup, one single-axle trailer no bigger than 8 by 5 by 2 feet, no pickup-plus-trailer combinations, and no contractor or commercial signage.
SCDES: Dorchester County Recycling Locations ↗Dorchester County: Convenience Sites Policy ↗
Noisy work stops at 8 p.m.
Summerville's current noise ordinance exempts construction machinery and power tools only between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. The Building Department's guidelines page still says 9 p.m., so plan saw and hammer work to end by 8 p.m.

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.

My shed is small. Do I still need a permit to tear it down?
Yes, as far as Town sources say. The Building Department's FAQ says a demolition-only job needs a demo permit, and the Town code covers all detached accessory structures regardless of size. The demolition fee is $50 for a structure up to 100,000 cubic feet, plus the $30 administrative fee.

Where can I take shed debris myself?
Dorchester County residents can use the Knightsville (Bucks) site at 1941 Central Avenue or the Old Fort (Oakbrook) site at 235 Old Fort Drive, Ladson, which both have C&D containers. They are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday until 3 p.m. Bring a pickup no bigger than 3/4 ton or a small single-axle trailer; contractors are turned away.

What if I have a big load or a removal company hauls it?
Dorchester County's sites take residential loads only. Carolina Landfill at 355 Harrison Road in Dorchester is a state-permitted Class II landfill for construction and demolition debris; it doesn't publish rates, so call (843) 462-2401. Berkeley County's landfill at 2277 Highway 52 in Moncks Corner charges $100 a ton for C&D with a 1-ton minimum, and Berkeley County sends businesses there instead of its residential sites.
Dorchester County: Convenience Sites Policy ↗Carolina Waste: Carolina Landfill ↗Berkeley County Water & Sanitation: Scale House ↗Berkeley County Water & Sanitation: Recycling and Convenience Centers ↗
Can I recycle a metal shed?
Yes. Charleston Steel & Metal buys scrap metal from individuals at 2700 Spruill Avenue in North Charleston and at a yard serving Goose Creek, Moncks Corner and Summerville at 3038 Highway 52 North, Mt. Holly. Dorchester County's Knightsville site also takes large appliances and similar metal items. Keep metal panels apart from wood and shingles.
Charleston Steel & Metal ↗SCDES: Dorchester County Recycling Locations ↗
What about paint, oil and chemicals left in the shed?
The Town won't pick up paint, household chemicals, used oil, batteries or auto parts. Dorchester County's convenience sites take used motor oil and filters, lead-acid batteries and, at some sites, oil and gas mixtures; Knightsville takes both. For paint and other chemicals, ask Dorchester County Solid Waste at (843) 832-0070.
