What Happens to the Shed Debris?
Once your shed is down and loaded into the truck, we don’t just dump everything at the nearest landfill. We take time to sort through the materials so we can reuse or recycle what we can.
Wood that’s untreated or in good shape is separated for recycling
Metal roofing, nails, and shed frames go to scrap metal recycling
Plastic panels or siding are sorted and recycled when possible
Usable items inside the shed like tools, shelves, or storage bins, may be donated to local charities if they’re in good condition
Leftover debris that can’t be reused is taken to a licensed disposal site
We only use city-certified recycling facilities to process materials safely.
Pricing – What to Expect
Every shed is different, so pricing depends on a few things. We keep it simple and give you a clear quote before we start. San Jose recovers over 72% of construction and demolition debris, which means most shed materials can be recycled or reused instead of dumped.
Here’s what we consider:
Size of Your Shed – Bigger sheds take more time, labor, and space in the truck
Condition of Your Shed – Collapsed or rotted sheds may be quicker to remove, while well-built ones take longer to tear down
Access – If the shed is hard to reach or tightly surrounded, the job may take more time
Cleanout Needed – If the shed is full of junk, we factor that into the quote
Material Type – Heavy or dense materials like metal or concrete may add to the cost
We don’t charge for quotes. And we don’t add surprise fees after the work starts. What we quote is what you pay.
