What’s Included in Shed Removal
That old shed in the backyard has been on the to-do list for years. It’s leaning, the roof is sagging, the door doesn’t close — and it’s full of junk you haven’t touched in a decade. Junk Haul Guys handles complete shed removal in Kamloops — we empty the contents, tear down the structure, haul everything away, and leave your yard clean. One call, one crew, one day.
Call (720) 955-9071 or request your free quote online.
Our shed removal service covers the entire job from start to finish:
- Content removal — we clear everything inside the shed first (tools, storage, equipment, junk)
- Structure teardown — we disassemble or demolish the shed down to the foundation
- Hauling — all materials are loaded onto our trucks and taken away
- Site cleanup — we rake the area and leave your yard clean and ready for whatever comes next
We handle wood sheds, metal sheds, vinyl/plastic storage sheds, and small outbuildings. For larger structures (barns, workshops over 200 sq ft), we’ll assess the job and may recommend a demolition contractor for the structural work while we handle the hauling.
When Kamloops Homeowners Need Shed Removal
Shed removal demand in Kamloops peaks in spring and early summer when homeowners start outdoor projects. The most common reasons people call us:
- The shed is structurally compromised — Kamloops’ extreme temperature swings (40+ in summer, -25 in winter) take a toll on wood and metal structures. After 15-20 years, many sheds are beyond repair.
- Property sale preparation — a rotting shed drags down curb appeal and home value. Removing it before listing makes the yard look larger and better maintained.
- New project in the works — homeowners building a new shed, garage, deck, or patio need the old structure removed first.
- Insurance or safety concerns — a leaning or collapsing shed is a liability. Some insurance policies require removal of deteriorated structures.
- Bear-smart compliance — unsecured sheds that attract wildlife can violate Kamloops’ bear-smart bylaws. Removing a non-functional shed eliminates the risk.

Permits and Regulations
The City of Kamloops requires a demolition permit for any building demolition, including sheds and accessory structures regardless of size. The permit application requires a site plan and a Hazardous Assessment Clearance Letter (important for pre-1990 sheds that may contain asbestos siding or roofing). A security deposit may also be required to ensure the site is left clean and safe.
We handle the demolition and hauling — you’ll need to obtain the permit before work begins. We’re happy to advise on the process during our free on-site quote.
Important: All utility services (electrical, gas, water) must be disconnected by licensed tradespeople before demolition, with proof of disconnection provided to the city. Pre-1990 sheds should be tested for asbestos before any work begins — we can refer you to local hazmat assessment firms like KRM Environmental or ABI Hazmat in Kamloops.
Disposal and Recycling
Shed materials get sorted after teardown:
- Clean wood is separated from painted or treated lumber
- Metal roofing, hardware, and fasteners go to scrap recyclers
- Usable tools and items found inside are set aside for donation
- Remaining materials go to Mission Flats Landfill

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a shed removal take?
A standard 8×10 shed takes 3 to 5 hours — clearing, teardown, loading, and cleanup. Bigger sheds or heavy-filled ones can take a full day.
Do I need to empty the shed before you arrive?
No. We clear everything inside and tear down the structure. It’s all one price.
Can you remove the concrete pad underneath?
We can remove small concrete pads (under 100 sq ft) as an add-on service. For larger pads or thick foundations, we may recommend a concrete removal specialist. We’ll assess this during the free quote.
What if my shed has asbestos siding or roofing?
If the shed was built before the 1980s, it may contain asbestos materials. We do not handle asbestos removal — you’ll need a certified asbestos abatement contractor for that portion. Once hazardous materials are removed, we handle the rest of the demolition and hauling.
Do you remove the shed contents for free if I’m paying for the full removal?
Yes. We quote the whole job — structure and contents together. You don’t need to worry about clearing anything yourself.
