PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL
Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?
Here’s what West Valley City asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
West Valley City rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. West Valley City says you must get a demolition permit before you demolish a structure. It costs $53, after state Air Quality and utility sign-offs. No size exemption is listed.
West Valley City Building Inspections FAQs ↗West Valley City permit costs and fees ↗
City pickup
No. Monthly bulky waste pickup refuses construction and demolition waste, bricks and broken concrete, and bundles must be 5 feet or shorter and under 75 pounds.
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.

Do I need a permit?West Valley 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 ↗
Getting a demolition permit
The city's FAQ says to start with the Salt Lake County Health Department's asbestos coordinator (385-468-3914) for an asbestos check and pre-demolition inspection; the coordinator helps get state Air Quality approval. Gas lines are shut off through Dominion Energy (801-324-5111) and sewer and water through Granger Hunter Improvement District (801-968-3551). Plan on at least two weeks. The owner signs the application, and a hired contractor must list its company name and state license number. Building Inspections: 801-963-3285.
West Valley City Building Inspections FAQs ↗West Valley City permit costs and fees ↗
State asbestos and dust rules
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. Removing load-bearing members needs a state demolition notification and a 10-working-day wait, and demolition in Salt Lake County needs a dust control plan. The state doesn't say how a detached shed is treated.
Call 811 before pulling footings
Digging out posts, piers or anchors counts as excavation. Notify Blue Stakes of Utah 811 at least 3 business days before you dig.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will West Valley City pick up shed debris?
No. Bulky waste pickup comes monthly through the city's contractor, ACE Recycling and Disposal, but construction and demolition waste, bricks, broken concrete, dirt, rocks and railroad ties are on its do-not-take list. Everything must be bagged, boxed or bundled, no longer than 5 feet and under 75 pounds per piece. Quantities beyond what a normal home would have are also refused.

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.

6235 S. Redwood Road, Taylorsville, UT 84123
Family-owned scrap yard that buys most metals. Its accepted list includes structural steel, sheet metal, flashing, fencing and garage doors. Wood and concrete are not accepted, so bring stripped metal panels and framing only.

Before you go: Open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Call (801) 266-7298 for today's prices. Steel loads are weighed on the scale by the office.

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.

What else should I know in West Valley City?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
Haulers need a permit for every truck
West Valley City has no franchise for hauling demolition debris that we found. Its solid waste code says a waste contractor gets no business license until each vehicle used to haul solid waste is inspected and permitted by 'the Department', which the code defines as the Salt Lake City-County Health Department or a West Valley City department. The fee is $85 per vehicle. A waste contractor is anyone in the business of collecting or hauling garbage, refuse or other solid waste.
West Valley City Code 24-2-109 (permits) ↗West Valley City Code 24-2-101 (definitions) ↗
Building a small shed needs no permit; removing one is another question
West Valley City exempts a one-story detached accessory structure of 200 square feet or less from a building permit, though Planning & Zoning still approves its location (801-963-3312). That exemption covers building, not tearing down; the city's demolition guidance does not mention size.
West Valley City: repairs not requiring permits ↗West Valley City Building Inspections FAQs ↗
Neighborhood dumpsters are not for contractors
Once a year a neighborhood can reserve city dumpsters, from mid-March to early November, by calling 801-963-3334 starting the first business day of February. They are for residential use only: contractors and construction sites can't use them, and rock, dirt, concrete and asphalt are not allowed. Dumpsters must be tarped before hauling, so don't fill above the sidewalls.
The county landfill is where the city sends residents
The Salt Lake Valley Landfill is at 6030 W. California Avenue. West Valley City sends residents there for hazardous waste and Freon appliances. A pickup load of shed lumber and shingles costs a $17 flat rate.

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.

Can I do the teardown myself?
Yes. West Valley City's FAQ says an owner-builder needs no contractor license and may do the work. If you hire someone, the demolition permit application must show the contractor's company name, state license number and signature.
My shed has power or water. Who shuts it off?
The city's demolition process runs through the utility companies: Dominion Energy for gas and Granger Hunter Improvement District for sewer and water, which notify Building Inspections when lines are cut. For a buried power feed, call Blue Stakes before anyone digs.
