SHED REMOVAL IN SALT LAKE CITY

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 Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City ZIP code. No payment, and it isn’t a booking.

PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL

Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?

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

Salt Lake City rules at a glance

Demolition permit

Yes. Salt Lake City says tearing down an accessory structure needs a building permit, not a demolition permit; no size exemption is listed. Local historic districts also need a Certificate of Appropriateness.

Salt Lake City Building Services: Pre-Demolition Checklist ↗Salt Lake City Planning: Accessory Buildings handout (PDF) ↗

City pickup

No. Call 2 Haul refuses construction material, including lumber longer than 5 feet, and any concrete. The City says to call a private hauler for demolition debris.

What's not accepted by Call 2 Haul ↗

Haul it yourself

Salt Lake Valley Landfill (Salt Lake County). $17 flat rate per load for cars, SUVs, pickups up to 1 ton and hand-unloaded trailers. Larger trucks and machine-unloaded trailers pay by the ton: $36 mixed trash, $12 clean concrete or asphalt (pieces 2 feet or smaller), $17 minimum. Non-friable asbestos is $100 a ton.

What it costs

Shed Gone: a price from your photos, with teardown, haul-away and cleanup included.

Others here: LoadUp publishes $94 to $1,559 for shed removal here. Other companies quote each shed or publish only general junk pricing, such as Jack's $87 minimum.

Do I need a permit?Salt Lake City 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 building permit, not a demolition permit

Building Services' pre-demolition checklist says interior or accessory structure demolition requires a building permit; demolition permits are for removing the main building on a lot. The page lists no size exemption for small sheds. Building permit fees follow project value: the 2026 schedule starts at $55.97 for work valued up to $500. Building Services: 801-535-6000.

Salt Lake City Building Services: Pre-Demolition Checklist ↗Salt Lake City Consolidated Fee Schedule ↗

02

Asbestos and dust rules from the state

Utah's Division of Air Quality requires a certified asbestos inspection before demolition, except for homes with four or fewer units built on or after January 1, 1992. Work that removes load-bearing members also needs a state demolition notification ($50 base fee) and a 10-working-day wait. Any demolition in Salt Lake County needs a dust control plan. The state does not say how these rules apply to a detached shed.

Utah DAQ: requirements prior to demolition ↗

03

Call 811 before digging out posts

Pulling footings, posts or anchors is digging. Notify Blue Stakes of Utah 811 at least 3 business days before you dig; the request is free.

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

Will Salt Lake City pick up shed debris?

No. Call 2 Haul gives City garbage customers two scheduled pickups a year, one bulk and one green waste, and the pile must be about 8 by 4 by 4 feet. It won't take construction material, including drywall, fencing, trim, flooring and lumber longer than 5 feet, or any dirt, rocks or concrete. Paint and other household hazardous waste are out too. The City says to call a private hauler for construction or demolition debris.

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 ↗

Salt Lake Valley Landfill (Salt Lake County)

6030 W. California Ave. (1300 S.), Salt Lake City, UT 84104

Takes municipal solid waste from the public. Its materials list prices construction debris, lumber, fencing, roofing shingles and flooring at the flat rate or the mixed-trash rate. Clean broken concrete gets a lower per-ton rate. It also accepts friable and non-friable asbestos at special rates. Solar panels and battery systems are not accepted.

Fees: $17 flat rate per load for cars, SUVs, pickups up to 1 ton and hand-unloaded trailers. Larger trucks and machine-unloaded trailers pay by the ton: $36 mixed trash, $12 clean concrete or asphalt (pieces 2 feet or smaller), $17 minimum. Non-friable asbestos is $100 a ton.

Before you go: Open Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed Sundays. Call 385-468-6370. Cover and secure the load: uncovered loads pay an extra fee equal to the disposal price.

Wasatch Metal Recycling

205 W. 3300 S., Salt Lake City, UT 84115

Locally owned scrap yard that buys copper, aluminum, brass, steel and more. Its metals guide includes aluminum siding, rain gutters and fascia, which may have paint but must be free of nails and staples.

Before you go: Open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.; it stops taking metal 15 minutes before closing. Call 801-484-3511.

Redwood Recycling (scrap metal)

6235 S. Redwood Road, Taylorsville, UT 84123

Redwood Recycling ↗Redwood Recycling: what metals it accepts ↗

Trans-Jordan Landfill

10473 S. Bacchus Hwy, South Jordan, UT 84009

Accepts dirt, concrete and other construction material, but its FAQ warns these are costly because they are charged by weight at the normal gate rate. It does not accept asbestos, liquid loads or registered items such as trailers.

Fees: $42 per ton. Non-commercial vehicles with a gross vehicle weight up to 10,000 pounds pay a $15 minimum; heavier loads are weighed in and out. Uncovered loads pay a penalty equal to the standard rate.

Before you go: Open Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; closed Sundays and major holidays. Fully tarp and secure the load. Office: (801) 569-8994.

Only City-authorized haulers may haul waste in Salt Lake City

City code 9.08.200 says only authorized haulers may provide waste hauling services within city limits, and defines an authorized hauler as one approved by the City. The City's list has 16 authorized haulers, including 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk Hogs; none of the shed companies listed on this page is on it. Authorized haulers pay a $315 annual permit fee, and the application asks for a Salt Lake Valley Health Department permit number. The rule sits in the code section for multi-family and nonresidential service, and the City does not say whether it covers a crew hauling debris from a home shed job or a homeowner hauling their own.

Local historic districts need a Certificate of Appropriateness

All exterior work on a property in a local historic district or on a landmark site needs approval before a building permit is issued, and the City's accessory building handout says a Certificate of Appropriateness is always required in a local historic district. Planning staff approve many projects, including garages, while demolitions of contributing structures go to a public hearing before the Historic Landmark Commission. Planning: 801-535-7700.

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.

COMMON QUESTIONS

A few more answers.

How much does shed removal cost in Salt Lake City?

Shed Gone prices each shed from your photos, with teardown, haul-away and cleanup included. LoadUp publishes $94 to $1,559 for shed removal in the county, with the exact price shown at booking.

LoadUp: shed removal in Salt Lake City ↗Jack's Junk Removal: light demolition ↗Jack's Junk Removal ↗

Do I have to empty the shed first?

No. Junk Movers says it will clear the junk from inside and around the shed along with the teardown. Paint, solvents and fuel are a different matter: I Talk Trash won't take them, and Call 2 Haul won't either, so plan on the county's household hazardous waste drop-off.

Can the concrete slab come out too?

Some crews do it. I Talk Trash lists concrete slabs among the things it tears down and hauls, with concrete as an extra-charge item. If you haul the pieces yourself, the county landfill takes clean broken concrete at $12 a ton when pieces are 2 feet or smaller.

I Talk Trash: junk removal and excavation ↗Salt Lake Valley Landfill pricing ↗

Where can I take shed debris myself?

The Salt Lake Valley Landfill at 6030 W. California Ave. takes a pickup load of lumber, shingles and other construction debris for a $17 flat rate, Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Trans-Jordan Landfill also takes construction material but charges it by weight. Tarp the load at either one.

What about an old shed with asbestos siding?

Have it tested first. Utah requires a certified asbestos inspection before most demolitions of older buildings. I Talk Trash and Trans-Jordan won't take asbestos. The county landfill accepts it at special rates, $100 a ton for non-friable and $500 a ton for friable.

Where can I take a metal shed?

A scrap yard pays for it instead of charging. Redwood Recycling posts $40 a ton for steel and iron and lists sheet metal. Wasatch Metal Recycling buys aluminum siding and gutters at $0.77 a pound in small amounts. Call for current prices; both refuse wood and concrete.
