This is not a demolition company page. We take structures apart so they can be loaded, then we haul the material. Permits, utility disconnects, and knocking down a building are someone else's job — and a live electrical connection on a spa is an electrician's.
Most people who look up shed removal charlotte nc are not shopping for a carpenter. They have a structure that has to come down and then go somewhere, and the somewhere is the part the listings skip. Mecklenburg County Solid Waste already answered it, in public, on its own FAQ.
That 14-cubic-yard cap is the figure printed on the current residential schedule. Older write-ups of this program sometimes said ten. The PDF in force today says fourteen, so that is the number this page uses.
The same shape of job shows up when the object is a spa sitting on a deck it will not come off in one piece, or an above-ground wall kit that is already down. The material is wood, liner, frame, and fixtures from taking a structure apart. The county's word for that, at its drop-off centers, is C&D.
If you are thinking about a DIY run to a county center, the question is not “is the dump free?” The question is what the attendant classifies the load as. Household bulky and construction debris sit on the same sheet and they are not the same rate.
So the boards, doors, and plywood from taking the shed apart are the $25 column, not the $15 column. A pickup with more than a couple of units, or anything that has to be weighed, is a different arithmetic again — trailers over eight feet and all shingle loads are weighed, on that same sheet. The honest DIY case is still real: one small, sorted, well-secured load, one trip, and you may be ahead. A whole structure is usually several trips, a trailer you may not own, and a classification you cannot talk the attendant out of.
Not worth the arithmetic? Text a photo and we will quote taking it apart and hauling it.
The third rule is the one that turns a carefully budgeted DIY trip into an argument at the booth. It is printed on the county's non-residential fee schedule, in the same words the residential schedule uses, and it applies to any vehicle that enters a county facility.
A trailer of shed boards with no tarp, or a spa shell that is only sitting in the bed, is the picture that sentence is for. The surcharge is optional in the wording — “may be increased” — which is not the same as “will not be.” If you go yourself, strap it and cover it. If we go, that is part of the job: the load leaves the driveway secured.
Taking a shed apart so it can be loaded is hauling labor. The same is true of an above-ground pool once the wall and liner are down. We are not a demolition contractor. We do not pull permits, we do not disconnect utilities, and we do not knock down a building. Structural demolition is a different trade, and this page does not sell it.
A spa is the one that most often has a live wire still attached. If the unit is still electrically connected, that disconnect is an electrician's job. We haul what is already safe to move. Tell us when you reach out whether it is still plugged in; we will not guess from a photo of the shell.
The search that goes with a deck-mounted spa is hot tub removal charlotte, and the problem behind it is the deck itself: the unit will not come off in one piece. The path is narrow, and the electrical question comes first. We take it apart and load it after it is disconnected — the same access problem as the shed, the same disposal classification once it is in pieces.
If you searched for above ground pool removal charlotte, the liner and wall are usually already down. What is left is panels, frame, and liner, not household bulky. We do not excavate an in-ground shell, and we do not treat a buried structure as this job.
The backyard structure is why people find this page. It is not the limit of the truck. The same crew hauls furniture, appliances, mattresses, attic and basement clutter, yard waste, office furniture, and whole estate cleanouts. The full item list and the published rate card are on the home page.
We do have a short list of our own, and it exists for regulatory reasons rather than routing ones: wet paint, oils, fuels, chemicals, asbestos, medical or biohazard waste, and ammunition cannot go on the truck at any price.
If part of the pile is on that list and the rest is a structure we can take apart, tell us when you reach out. We work around the refused material and take the rest. There is more on where household junk actually goes in our Mecklenburg County disposal explainer.
The structure itself, what the county drop-off will charge, and where the crew's work stops.
No. Full-service means the rest of the house too: furniture, mattresses, appliances, garage and estate cleanouts, attic clutter, yard waste. A backyard structure is one job on that list. The rate card and the item list are on the home page.
No. A live electrical connection needs an electrician. We haul the unit after it is disconnected. If you are not sure whether it is still live, say so when you text the photo — we would rather wait on the electrician than guess.
Sometimes, yes, if the load is small, sorted, and strapped. Mecklenburg County's residential schedule bills C&D at $25 per unit against $15 for extra bulky items, caps a full-service delivery at 14 cubic yards (larger loads go to Foxhole Landfill), and may add 50% if the load is uncovered. Those figures are on the county PDFs linked above, checked September 2026. A whole structure is usually past the point where one trip in a pickup is the cheaper path.
No. Taking a shed or an above-ground pool apart so it can be loaded is within what we haul. Structural demolition, building permits, and utility disconnects are not. If the job is a house coming down, you need a demolition contractor; we can talk about the debris after that work is done, not instead of it.
Not this job. Above-ground walls, liners, and frames come apart and go on the truck. An in-ground shell is excavation and often permitting, which we do not do.
One item or a full truck, anything a two-person crew can carry — including the structure that has to come down first.
