SHED REMOVAL IN VIRGINIA BEACH
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 Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Virginia Beach rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes, as written. The City says demolition or removal of a structure needs a permit and publishes no shed exception or demolition fee. Call Permits & Inspections at 757-385-4211.
City pickup
Yes, for small sheds. Bulky pickup takes a taken-apart wood, metal or plastic shed up to 9×12 feet (108 sq ft), with no concrete, glass, loose shingles or hardware.
Haul it yourself
Virginia Beach Landfill & Resource Recovery Center. Free for residents' household waste and Resource Recovery Center materials. The City code sets $54 a ton ($15 minimum) for other waste.

Do I need a permit?Virginia Beach 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 needs a permit; no shed exception is published
Permits & Inspections says demolition or removal of a structure requires a permit. Its building list names sheds only when they're over 256 square feet, which matches the state code's exemption for one-story storage sheds of 256 square feet or less. That exemption is written for the shed itself, and neither the City nor the state says tearing down a small shed is exempt. The residential fee sheet lists no demolition fee; it adds a 2% state levy and a $10 technology fee to every permit.
City of Virginia Beach: Residential Building Permits ↗Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, 13VAC5-63-80 ↗City of Virginia Beach: Residential Building Permit Fees (PDF) ↗
What the demolition application asks for
The City's demolition application has a box for an accessory structure and asks for the cost of demolition. For demolition of structures, it lists disconnect paperwork from Dominion (Virginia Power), Virginia Natural Gas, water, phone and cable, a capped sewer lateral and water line, the septic tank, and an asbestos report or exemption certificate. The form marks that list for structures in general and doesn't say how much of it applies to a backyard shed with no utilities.

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 Virginia Beach pick up shed debris?
Yes, for a small shed that's already taken apart. Residents with City curbside service can book a bulky pickup online or at 757-385-4650 at least three days before their trash day. The shed can be up to 9 by 12 feet and 108 square feet, made of wood, metal or plastic, with no concrete, glass, loose shingles or hardware. Set it out after 5 p.m. the night before, with 3 feet of clearance and not under power lines. Building and renovation materials, concrete, doors and wood pallets aren't eligible, and you clean up any small debris left behind.
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 ↗

What else should I know in Virginia Beach?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
No franchised hauler for demolition debris
Virginia Beach gives no company exclusive rights to haul construction or demolition debris, and it no longer licenses private collectors: the code section that required a collector permit was deleted in 1996. What remains is a City disposal permit, $25 a year per vehicle, for any business that dumps at a City disposal area. The City landfill now lets in only residential vehicles, so in practice crews haul to private or SPSA sites. The code says building debris from demolition is removed by the owner or the contractor.
Virginia Beach City Code Chapter 31: Solid Waste ↗City of Virginia Beach: Landfill & Resource Recovery Center ↗
The City landfill is for residents in their own cars
The Landfill & Resource Recovery Center on Jake Sears Road is open to Virginia Beach residents with proof of address, Tuesday to Saturday. It turns away vehicles with ladder racks, work equipment or business signs, cargo and panel vans, and trailers over 10 feet or with a dump bed. Everything goes over the side of a container by hand, so bring help. The landfill refuses heavy construction and demolition rubble and creosote-treated wood.

The City points residents with materials it can't take to the Hampton Roads Recovery Center, a private construction and demolition debris landfill run by Waste Connections at 1613 Centerville Turnpike. Its web page doesn't publish a fee for this site, so call 757-420-0128 before loading a trailer of shed lumber.

- 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.

Where can the concrete slab or blocks go?
Virginia Beach residents can drop clean concrete, brick and stone free at the City's Resource Recovery Center, as long as there's no steel reinforcement in it; the City crushes it for reuse. SPSA transfer stations take small amounts of concrete in small pieces from member-city residents, and large loads go to SPSA's Regional Landfill in Suffolk.
City of Virginia Beach: Resource Recovery Center ↗SPSA: Acceptable Materials ↗
What about a metal shed?
The Resource Recovery Center at the City landfill takes ferrous metal and aluminum from residents free. SPSA's Regional Landfill at 1 Bob Foeller Drive in Suffolk also takes residents' scrap metal at no charge.
City of Virginia Beach: Resource Recovery Center ↗SPSA: Acceptable Materials ↗
Can I take the lumber and shingles to an SPSA station myself?
Yes, within limits. SPSA transfer stations take construction material and timber no longer than 6 feet and no thicker than 6 inches, and they take shingles. Service-area residents get 12 free visits a year in a car, pickup of 1 ton or less, or a trailer up to 12 feet. Asbestos shingles go only to the Regional Landfill, by appointment.
SPSA: Acceptable Materials ↗SPSA: Residential Waste Disposal Guidelines ↗
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 has an Asbestos Inspection Exemption Certification form for that case, and it also exempts buildings first permitted after January 1, 1985.
Code of Virginia § 36-99.7 ↗City of Virginia Beach: Asbestos Inspection Exemption Certification (PDF) ↗
What do I do with old paint and chemicals from the shed?
Take them to the household hazardous waste program at the City's Landfill & Resource Recovery Center, which handles paint, aerosols and batteries for residents. Tell the gate attendant you have hazardous waste so you're sent to the right spot.
