SHED REMOVAL IN SEATTLE
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 Seattle 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 Seattle 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 Seattle asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Seattle rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Not for a small one. A one-story shed under 120 square feet of roof, on pier blocks or a slab, needs no demolition permit. Bigger sheds need one, plus 15 days of rat abatement.
Seattle SDCI: Demolition Permit - Building ↗SDCI Tip 337: Demolition and Deconstruction (PDF) ↗
City pickup
No. SPU's Special Item Pickup takes furniture and appliances at $31 an item, not building debris. You can haul shed debris to a City transfer station, from $37 a trip.

North Transfer Station (Seattle Public Utilities). Garbage $174 a ton, $37 minimum per trip. Clean wood waste $132 a ton, $25 minimum. Recyclables only: no charge. Unsecured loads pay an extra fee. Cash, check, Visa or MasterCard.

Do I need a permit?Seattle 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 ↗
When Seattle requires a demolition permit
SDCI says you need a demolition permit to remove a building, but not to remove a one-story accessory structure with less than 120 square feet of roof area built on pier blocks or a slab on grade. Tip 337 counts roof overhangs in that area. A shed removed as part of a larger project at a house or duplex can go on that project's construction permit. Demolition permit fees are 1.5 times the base fee plus inspection fees and surcharges. Questions: SDCI, (206) 684-8600.
Seattle SDCI: Demolition Permit - Building ↗SDCI Tip 337: Demolition and Deconstruction (PDF) ↗
Rat abatement and sewer caps for permitted demolitions
Every demolition permit needs at least 15 days of rat abatement by a licensed pest control company right before work starts. If a shed has a side sewer that will be capped, a side sewer permit and an SDCI inspection of the cap come first.
Seattle SDCI: Demolition Permit - Building ↗SDCI Tip 337: Demolition and Deconstruction (PDF) ↗
Asbestos survey and Clean Air Agency notice
The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency requires an asbestos survey by an AHERA-certified inspector before a demolition. Structures with more than 120 square feet of roof area also need a filed Asbestos/Demolition Notification and fee, even with no asbestos, and demolitions carry a 10-day waiting period.
Puget Sound Clean Air Agency: Homeowner Demolition ↗Puget Sound Clean Air Agency: Regulation III, Article 4 (PDF) ↗SDCI Tip 337: Demolition and Deconstruction (PDF) ↗
Wiring and digging
Seattle requires an electrical permit whenever wiring is installed, altered, extended or connected. Owners may do their own work on a home they own and live in; otherwise a licensed electrical contractor pulls the permit. Before pulling posts or footings, call Washington811 to have buried lines marked.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Seattle pick up shed debris?
No. Seattle Public Utilities' Special Item Pickup takes large furniture, appliances and TVs at $31 an item, up to 300 pounds and 8 feet tall, and its list doesn't include lumber or building debris. Extra garbage goes out with your cart, by special pickup, or to a transfer station. For a whole shed, the options are a removal company, a WM disposal container, or a self-haul trip to the North or South Transfer Station.

What else should I know in Seattle?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
Only Waste Management may haul C&D disposal containers, with exceptions
Seattle contracts with Waste Management to haul non-recyclable construction and demolition waste, so a rented disposal container on a job must come from WM. Recycling containers can be hauled by any recycling company. SPU says these rules don't apply to demolition companies hauling their own debris, to residents self-hauling from their own property, or to junk removal companies hired to clean up debris that isn't set out in a container. Questions: Katie Kennedy at SPU, (206) 386-9772.
Seattle Public Utilities: Third-Party Hauling Requirements for Construction Materials ↗
Clean wood, metal and concrete are banned from the garbage
Seattle bans unpainted and untreated wood, metal, cardboard, asphalt paving, bricks and concrete from disposal. Separated, they go to a recycler; mixed together or with trash, they must go to a City-qualified mixed C&D recycler such as the MCS sites on South Hudson Street and East Marginal Way South. The bans don't cover painted wood, hazardous materials or small amounts. Painted siding and shingles from a shed can go to disposal.
Seattle Public Utilities: Construction and Demolition Waste Management ↗Seattle Public Utilities: Qualified C&D Recycling Facilities ↗Seattle Public Utilities: Transfer Stations ↗
Landmark and special review districts
Seattle has seven landmark or special review districts and more than 200 individual landmarks. On a landmark site or in one of those districts, demolition needs a Certificate of Approval from the Historic Preservation Program. Ask the Department of Neighborhoods, (206) 684-0228, before taking down an outbuilding there.
Shed chemicals go to the household hazardous waste sites
Seattle's transfer stations refuse oil paint, household chemicals, fuel and propane tanks. The North site at 12550 Stone Ave. N. (Sunday to Tuesday) and the South site at 8105 5th Ave. S. (Thursday to Saturday) take household hazardous waste free, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with no appointment.

- 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 I take shed debris myself?

Clean wood waste is $132 a ton with a $25 minimum, and separated recyclables such as scrap metal are free.

Can I put the concrete slab in the garbage?
No. Concrete, bricks and asphalt are banned from disposal in Seattle, and the transfer stations don't take them. Take a clean slab to a concrete recycler, or a mixed load to a City-qualified C&D recycler, and call first for gate fees.
Seattle Public Utilities: Construction and Demolition Waste Management ↗Seattle Public Utilities: Transfer Stations ↗Seattle Public Utilities: Qualified C&D Recycling Facilities ↗
What if the shed has old asbestos siding or roofing?
Seattle's transfer stations refuse asbestos and material containing it. Have an AHERA-certified inspector survey suspect siding or roofing before demolition, as the Clean Air Agency requires. Friable asbestos must come off before the structure comes down.
Seattle Public Utilities: Transfer Stations ↗Puget Sound Clean Air Agency: Homeowner Demolition ↗
Will a junk company take the shed down or just haul it?
Most here say they take it down. JC Junk Solutions, Junk B Gone, Action Junk Hauling, Jake's Junk Removal and Sound Hauling describe dismantling and haul-away, and Northwest Labor Industries lists sheds among structures it demolishes. JC handles small to medium sheds. LoadUp offers light disassembly as an add-on. College HUNKS lists storage sheds without describing teardown, so ask.

How should I load shed debris for a Seattle transfer station?
Cut it down first: the stations refuse material over 8 feet long and over 200 pounds. Keep clean, unpainted wood and scrap metal apart from painted siding and shingles, since separated loads pay less, and tie down or cover the load to avoid the unsecured-load fee.
