An old shed usually ends up one of two ways: packed with things nobody wants to sort, or rotting from the floor up so nobody wants to go in. We empty it, take it down and haul it off.
What can you take down?
Small wooden structures in the yard, including:
- Garden and storage sheds
- Old decks and the steps down from them
- Playsets, swing sets and forts the kids outgrew
- Wooden fence sections and gates
- Lean-tos and small wooden outbuildings
For carports, we clear out what’s stored under them. If a shed has power run to it, have an electrician disconnect it before we come, because we don’t do electrical work.
If a limb came down on the shed in a storm, the brush can go in the same haul. See yard debris removal for how that’s priced.
How is shed removal priced?
A small wooden shed, taken down and hauled away, typically costs $350–$650, priced from a photo. Its size, how it’s built and how far it sits from where the trailer can park decide where it falls in that range. The rest of the job is priced by what it is:
| Part of the job | How it’s priced |
|---|---|
| Small wooden shed | $350–$650, from a photo |
| What’s stored inside | By trailer space: a quarter load is $140–$180 |
| Deck, playset or fence | By the space the pieces take |
| Broken concrete or pavers | By weight, up to 2.5 tons a load |
Every load size is on the pricing page. We confirm the price from your photos or a quick look before we start.
Do I need to empty the shed first?
No. We clear out the mower (drained of gas), the rusty tools, the stack of flower pots and the boxes from three moves ago, and price them by trailer space. What stays behind is anything hazardous: gas cans, paint, pool chemicals, pesticides and propane tanks. If the shed is really garage overflow, our garage cleanout page lists where those leftovers can go.
What about the slab?
Concrete is the heavy part of any shed job. It fills the trailer by weight long before it fills it by space, so we load it only about a foot deep, and one load tops out at 2.5 tons. That means a slab can take more than one trip. Include it in your photos so the price covers it from the start.
Where does it all end up?
Lumber, plywood and shingles go to Oconee County’s construction and demolition landfill on Wells Highway in Seneca, which accepts C&D debris. That landfill turns away metal, so tin roofing, hinges, hardware and a metal swing set frame go to scrap recycling instead. If you’re hauling a shed yourself, call Oconee County Solid Waste at (864) 888-1440 to check the landfill’s current rules first.
When the last board is loaded, we sweep the floor or slab where the shed stood, so you’re left with a clear spot for whatever comes next.
Send photos of the shed, inside and out, through the quote form, or text them to (864) 555-0142.
