Here’s what Newport News asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Newport News rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Likely yes. Codes Compliance has a demolition checklist and no published shed exception. It asks for utility disconnect receipts and a sewer cap where they apply. Call 311 at 757-933-2311.

Do I need a permit?Newport News 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 ↗
Demolition goes through Codes Compliance
The City's demolition checklist asks for a building permit application for each building, receipts showing the electric, gas and water have been disconnected, and a sewer cap permit with a final inspection. The building permit form lists demolition and accessory structures as types of work and has an asbestos certificate box. No exception for small sheds or sheds without utilities is published.
City of Newport News: Demolition Permit Requirements (PDF) ↗City of Newport News: Building Permit Application (PDF) ↗
The fee
The City's fee schedule has no separate line for demolition. The minimum fee for any building permit is $56.10, which includes the 2% state surcharge.
Contractors need a state license
A contractor applying for a demolition permit must hold a current Virginia contractor's license with the residential building (RBC), commercial building (CBC) or heavy highway (H/H) classification. Contractors based outside the city may also need a Newport News business license.

Digging out posts or a slab
Contact Virginia 811 three days before digging out footings, piers or a slab. The service is free.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Newport News pick up shed debris?
Only when you do the work yourself. Bulk pickup takes debris from a resident's own remodeling and repair work if the proper building permit is displayed, and it goes to the Bethel Landfill. It won't take debris from work by anyone else, items longer than 6 feet such as lumber, concrete or brick, asbestos shingles, or outbuildings larger than 150 square feet set out whole. The limit is 6 cubic yards per collection day, set out after 3 p.m. the day before and by 7 a.m.
City of Newport News: Bulk Waste Program ↗Newport News City Code Chapter 19: Solid Waste, Litter and Recycling ↗
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 ↗
Newport News Recovery Operations Center (Denbigh drop-off)
520 Atkinson Blvd., Newport News, VA 23608
City-run residential drop-off and compost site at the closed City landfill. Residents who pay the City's solid waste user fee may leave up to 6 cubic yards a week of household trash and bulk waste, and recycle scrap metal and appliances. It takes clean soil, concrete and brick no larger than a cinder block in limited amounts. No contractor trash, and no dump trucks or dump trailers except for yard waste.
Fees: Free for eligible residents within the weekly limits. No fee is published for other loads.
Before you go: Open Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., except City holidays. Show proof of residency at the window; staff may ask to see required permits. Call 311 at 757-933-2311.

No franchised hauler, but contractor waste stays off the curb
No City rule gives a company exclusive rights to haul construction or demolition debris, and Chapter 19 of the City Code sets up no hauler permit. Its only hauler rule is a yearly recycling report from people licensed for waste hauling. Contractor waste may not go to the curb, and the City's drop-off site takes no contractor trash. The City sends commercial waste straight to its disposal contractor at the Bethel Landfill in Hampton.

Newport News isn't in the SPSA system
The City closed its own landfill on Atkinson Way in 1996 and privatized disposal. Its bulk waste goes to the Bethel Landfill in Hampton. Newport News isn't one of SPSA's member communities, so the SPSA transfer stations on the Southside aren't a resident option here.

Waterfront lots may need extra review
The City's demolition checklist says a plat or map may be needed if the property is in a Chesapeake Bay Resource Management Area or Resource Protection Area. A right-of-way or land disturbance permit may also be needed. Sheds near the James River, Deep Creek or a city reservoir are the ones to ask about.

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.

Priced from your photosA 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.

Can I take the debris to the City's drop-off myself?
Yes, if you're a resident doing your own work. The Recovery Operations Center off Atkinson Boulevard takes up to 6 cubic yards a week of household trash and bulk waste from residents who pay the solid waste user fee, free. Bring proof of residency; staff may ask to see any required permits. It takes no contractor trash, and no dump trucks or dump trailers except for yard waste.
City of Newport News: Recovery Operations Center ↗Newport News City Code Chapter 19: Solid Waste, Litter and Recycling ↗
Where do the slab and a metal shed go?
Residents can leave clean concrete and brick no bigger than a cinder block at the City drop-off, but only a small amount a year. The same site recycles scrap metal, so a cut-up metal shed can go there. Concrete can't go out with bulk pickup.
City of Newport News: Denbigh Compost & Drop-off Facility ↗City of Newport News: Recovery Operations Center ↗City of Newport News: Bulk Waste Program ↗
Do I need an asbestos survey for an old shed?
Probably not at a house. State law exempts single-family homes and buildings with four or fewer units from the pre-demolition asbestos inspection rule, unless the work is for commercial or public development. The City's permit form still has an asbestos certificate box. Asbestos shingles and siding can't go to the curb, and the City sends residents to Asbestos.com for disposal help.

What do I do with old paint and weed killer from the shed?
Don't set liquids at the curb. The Recovery Operations Center takes up to 5 gallons of latex paint a week. Other household chemicals go to the City's quarterly household hazardous waste events; call 311 at 757-933-2311 for dates.
