What shed recycling involves

Shed removal costs in the Twin Cities metro vary a lot depending on size, material, and what's still inside it, and that's exactly why the first thing you should do is call (612) 444-5865 for a free, no-pressure quote. Junk Genius has handled shed demolition and removal for about 15 years across the metro, and with 1,987 Google reviews averaging 4.9 stars, we're not guessing at how to do this. We show up, we assess, we give you a clear price before we touch anything, and then we get it gone.

The actual process covers everything: structural teardown, removal of contents if the shed's still full, loading, and a site sweep so you're not picking nails out of your lawn for the next three weeks. We give you an on-site price based primarily on how much material we take away. We also back every job with a 10% Price Beat Guarantee. Bring us any written estimate and we'll beat it. What drives cost up is usually shed size, heavy metal construction, a lot of accumulated contents, or tight backyard access. What drives it down is a smaller structure, empty interior, and clear truck access. Either way, you'll know the number before we start. Every job is different, contact Junk Genius for an accurate estimate.

WHAT WE TAKE DOWN

Full-Service Shed Demolition and Removal

Sheds don't just magically disappear. They're bolted down, wired, rotted in places, and full of stuff nobody wants to deal with.

Old Wooden Garden Sheds

Rotted boards, rusted hardware, and decades of moisture damage, we dismantle them piece by piece without dropping anything on your fence or garden.

Metal Storage Sheds

Sheet metal edges are sharp and awkward. Our crews come equipped with the right tools and the right gear to break these down safely and load them clean.

Plastic and Resin Sheds

They look lightweight until you try to move one. Resin structures often have to be cut apart before they'll load. We handle that without making it your problem.

Tool and Lawn Equipment Sheds

Still full of stuff? That's fine. We can remove the contents along with the structure, old tools, lawn equipment, shelving, and whatever else got left behind.

Small Outbuildings

Playhouses, storage lean-tos, small backyard structures that technically aren't sheds but need to come down anyway, we handle those too.

HOW IT WORKS

Our Shed Removal Process, Step by Step

Five steps, one visit, no surprises.

  1. 01

    Call and Get a Real Human

    When you call (612) 444-5865, you talk to a person. Not a chatbot, not a call center. We'll ask what kind of shed, roughly what size, whether it's empty, and whether there are access challenges like a narrow gate or overhead wires. Prefer typing? Request a quote online and we'll follow up fast.

  2. 02

    Schedule and Show Up

    We offer same-day and next-day availability across the metro. We'll give you an exact appointment or a convenient arrival window, plus a 30-minute courtesy call before we pull up so you're not standing in the yard guessing.

  3. 03

    Assess, Price, Demolish, Haul

    Our crew walks the shed, confirms the scope, and gives you clear volume-based pricing before we touch anything. Then we dismantle methodically, load everything, sweep the area for nails and screws, and haul all materials away for sorting and recycling. You get open yard. We handle the rest.

SMARTER THAN A DUMPSTER

Why Shed Haul Away Beats Renting a Dumpster

Dragging shed pieces to the curb or trying to cram them into a dumpster is its own kind of punishment. Sheet metal won't fold the way you want. Rotted lumber splinters. And most dumpster rental companies won't take certain materials anyway, so you end up making three calls and still have a pile in your yard. Our shed haul away service skips all of that. No permits for a big metal box sitting in your driveway for a week. No waiting around for a pickup window that may or may not happen. No trying to cut everything into 'just the right size' to fit in a bin. No guessing what your trash provider will or won't accept. If you've been weighing the benefits of professional junk removal vs. DIY, this is where the math gets obvious fast: a weekend of renting a truck, cutting lumber, and making dump runs is a weekend you don't get back. We donate and recycle as much as we can whenever possible. That includes wood haul away and metal components sorted separately.

PRICING

No-Nonsense Shed Removal Pricing

Free estimates

You pay for the space your shed and debris actually take up in our truck. A smaller shed with nothing inside will cost significantly less than a large wooden structure packed with old equipment.

10% Price Beat Guarantee

Show us a written estimate from another company and we'll beat it by 10%. No vague promises. Bring the paper and we match and undercut it.

All-Inclusive on Every Job

Dismantling, loading, dump fees, recycling fees, and a site sweep are all included. The price we quote is the price you pay. No line-item surprises after we've already torn the thing apart.

Clear Price Before We Start

Our crew assesses on-site and gives you the number before touching anything. No pressure, no upsell. If the price doesn't work, you haven't lost anything.

RESPONSIBLE DISPOSAL

We Recycle and Donate What We Can

Old sheds are mostly wood and metal, and both are recyclable. Junk Genius crews, certified in Recycling Management and Waste Management Safety, sort materials before disposal. Metal components get sent to metal recyclers. Usable lumber and hardware go where they can still do some good. We're not hauling everything to the landfill by default. The same mindset applies to whatever was stored inside the shed. Old tools that still work, garden equipment in decent shape. Those go toward donation partners rather than the dump. It's a small detail that matters. If you've also got yard debris or storm door disposal to deal with while we're out there, we can fold that into the same trip.

Sosa and Diego did an incredible job on my garage. I had bought a house and the seller had left all sorts of junk in the garage including an old fridge and many mattresses. They were able to work with me to get it done fast and affordably. I will definitely be keeping them in mind for future work

I had a few places come do estimates, and Junk Genius was definitely the most reasonable. They were also able to switch our day/time when we had something coming up. Big shout out to Lester and Isaiah! They were friendly, respectful of the space, and incredibly efficient!

Other Outdoor and Yard Services We Handle

Yard Debris Removal

Brush piles, old fence sections, storm-downed branches, we load it all. Especially useful when a shed teardown uncovers years of accumulated yard waste underneath and around it.

Wood Haul Away

Scrap lumber, old decking, fence boards. If you've got a pile of wood beyond the shed itself, we haul that separately or bundle it with the shed job.

Storage Unit Cleanouts

Once the backyard shed is clear, some customers realize they've got a storage unit that's gotten out of hand too. We handle those the same way: show up, assess, clear it out.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Shed Removal FAQ

How much does it cost to remove a shed?
We give you an on-site price based primarily on how much material we take away. metal vs. plastic), whether it's still full of items, and how easy it is to access with a truck. A small empty resin shed is at the low end. A large wooden structure with a full interior is at the high end. Junk Genius prices by volume, you pay for what actually fills the truck. Every job is different, contact Junk Genius for an accurate estimate.
How much would it cost to get a shed removed?
The total price depends on the same factors: cubic footage of shed and contents, material type, access conditions, and whether demo labor is involved. We give you an on-site price based primarily on how much material we take away. We also offer a 10% Price Beat Guarantee on any written estimate from a competitor. Call (612) 444-5865 or request a quote online to get a number specific to your job.
How can I get rid of my old shed?
You've got a few options: haul it yourself, rent a dumpster and break it down, or hire a full-service crew. DIY teardown requires tools, a trailer or truck, and usually a dump run or two. Dumpsters can work but some providers restrict wood and metal, and you still have to do the demo yourself. A full-service shed removal crew handles everything from teardown to final sweep in one visit. Most of our shed jobs are done in under two hours.
Do I need a permit to remove an old shed?
In most Twin Cities metro municipalities, you don't need a permit to remove a shed that was built without a permit or that falls under a certain square footage threshold. That said, if your shed has electrical connections or is over 200 square feet, some cities require a demolition permit. We recommend checking with your city's building department before scheduling. We can tell you what we've seen in the areas we regularly work, but we won't pull permits. That's on the homeowner.
Do you remove sheds that still have stuff inside?
Yes. We can clear the contents first and then demolish the structure, or we can work around what's there and remove everything together. Old tools, lawn equipment, shelving, and miscellaneous stored items can all go in the same load as the shed itself. If anything is in decent shape, we'll separate it for donation rather than sending it straight to the dump.
How long does shed removal take?
Most single-shed jobs take between one and three hours from the time our crew arrives to the time we pull away. A small plastic shed with nothing inside is closer to 45 minutes. A large wooden structure full of accumulated tools and equipment takes longer. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when you call, based on what you describe.
More questions (4)Fewer questions
Can you remove a shed the same day I call?
Often, yes. Same-day and next-day appointments are available in many parts of the metro, Monday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. We also give you a 30-minute courtesy call before arrival so you're not stuck waiting. If same-day isn't available, we'll find the next open slot and lock it in.
Do you remove sheds that are still full of items?
Yes, and it's more common than you'd think. We can remove contents and structure in the same visit. Old tools, shelving, lawn equipment, and accumulated storage items all load with the shed debris. Anything in usable condition gets set aside for donation rather than going straight to landfill.
How long does shed removal typically take?
Most jobs take one to three hours from arrival to truck pullaway. A small empty plastic shed can be done in under an hour. A large wooden structure with a full interior takes longer, sometimes half a day. We'll give you a realistic window when you call based on what you describe.
What happens to the shed materials after you haul them away?
We sort for recycling and reuse before anything goes to landfill. Metal components go to metal recyclers. Usable lumber and hardware get diverted where possible. We donate and recycle as much as we can whenever possible. Shed materials follow the same process.
