Junk Gone. Smiles On.

Our Complete Shed Removal Process

  • Shed Cleanout: We remove items from inside the shed – from broken lawnmowers and gardening tools to holiday decorations and scrap materials. Just point to what you want gone and our crew will load it into our truck.

  • Shed Tear-Down: If your shed is beyond repair or you just want it removed, we carefully dismantle the structure. Most small-to-medium sheds can be taken down by our team of two without special equipment. We will remove the roof, walls, and floorboards piece by piece. Safety is our top priority: we bring gloves, goggles, and tools to prevent damage to your property.

  • Debris Hauling: Once the shed is down, we haul off all debris – wood, metal roofing, concrete blocks, nails, etc. – and sweep the area clean. We also handle disposal responsibly: metal parts go to recycling, and any clean fill dirt can be reused in your yard if you wish.

Why Homeowners Trust Foothills Disposal

Our goal is to make shed removal as easy and headache-free as possible. Whether you need to replace the shed, free up space for landscaping, or improve your property’s appearance, we’ve got you covered.Β We’ll even help you determine if a permit is needed: In Knoxville, small sheds usually do not require a special permit to remove, but we can advise if you’re unsure. (Even when a permit is required for larger demolitions, our team can coordinate or recommend city resources.)

Local Knoxville Service:

Foothills Disposal knows East Tennessee weather and local codes. We serve Knoxville, Maryville, Farragut, Alcoa, Oak Ridge, and beyond. Our crews know how to navigate yards and back areas, even pulling debris through gates or across terrain. We also respect landscaping and property boundaries; we cover nearby plants and clean up to ensure no damage.

Licensed & Insured:

As a professional hauling and demolition company, we carry all necessary insurances. That means you’re protected if an accident should ever occur. Choosing a licensed service means your shed removal is done to code and safely for your home.

Eco-Friendly Disposal:

Whenever possible, we recycle or donate parts of your shed. Metal hardware and siding go to scrap recyclers; wood can be chipped or reused for firewood (if untreated). If the shed had any salvageable items – like cabinets, shelving, or compostable lumber – we’ll set those aside for donation. Our mission is to reduce landfill waste while clearing your property efficiently.

Shed Removal FAQ

1What size sheds can you remove?
We can handle most small to medium-sized sheds. Typically, if two workers can safely take it down without heavy machinery, we can remove it (e.g. typical wooden or metal storage sheds up to about 12Γ—16 feet). For very large or anchored structures (cement pad, masonry block walls), call us and we’ll discuss your situation. Even if machinery is needed, we have contacts for equipment rental.
2Do I need a permit to remove my shed?
Often, permits are not required just to take down an existing shed, especially if it’s on the ground (not attached to utilities). However, local building codes vary. We recommend you check the City of Knoxville Building Department rules. In most cases for yard sheds, no permit is needed. If it is, we can pause and advise you on how to proceed.
3What happens to all the shed debris?
We haul it all away. Usable lumber or windows can be donated or recycled; metal parts (nails, hinges, siding) go to recycling centers; and the rest is disposed of properly. Our service includes disposal fees in the quote – no extra charges at the dump. You simply pay our flat fee and the shed disappears.
4How long does shed removal take?
It depends on the shed’s size and contents, but most small shed demolitions take just a couple of hours once the crew arrives. We work steadily until the job is done. The whole process (from first call to finish) can be same-day if our schedule allows, as we offer fast turnaround and often have same- or next-day openings.
5What do I need to do to prepare?
Just make sure we have clear access to your shed and that any items you want to keep are removed beforehand. You don’t need to empty the shed – we’ll take its contents – but you should remove any pets or animals from the area. You can also clear a path for our truck if possible. Otherwise, we handle everything from start to finish.
6Are there any items you can’t remove from my shed?
We cannot dispose of hazardous materials (like old propane tanks or chemicals) unless they are empty and safe. Please let us know if your shed contains any known hazmat, so we can plan accordingly. For regular tools, furniture, toys, and general clutter – we haul it all in our junk removal service.
