Demolition Services in Star

Star is the fastest-growing city in Idaho right now, and that growth is changing what's sitting on people's lots. A lot of the rural-residential parcels along the Boise River corridor still have old barns, ag buildings, sagging fences, and sheds that were built for a different era of the property. As those acreage lots get subdivided or just updated, those structures are often the first thing that has to go.

The newer side of Star tells a different story. Subdivisions like Heron River, Star River Estates, Movado Estates, Skybreak, and Star River Ranch were mostly built in the last 10 to 15 years, so demolition there tends to be smaller-scale: a builder-grade shed nobody wants, a deck that's been rebuilt wrong twice, a concrete patio in the way of a new layout. Pools and mobile homes come up on both the old and new side of town, depending on the property.

Permits matter either way. Star's Building Department issues demolition permits and lists a fee for them on the city's schedule, so it's worth a call before anything comes down, even for something as small as a shed. Star's city limits also stretch into both Ada and Canyon counties, and permit rules can differ depending on which side your property sits on.

Disposal has its own rules too. Most construction and demolition debris from Star goes to the Ada County Landfill, known locally as Hidden Hollow, off Seamans Gulch Road, with the Meridian Transfer Station as another option for some materials. Concrete and scrap metal are accepted there, but treated or painted wood isn't accepted for diversion, and loads need to be tarped or strapped down. And no, you can't just burn an old shed or fence instead of hauling it off, the local fire district's burn rules don't allow construction or demolition debris.

Top Shelf Junk Removal and Demolition handles sheds, decks, pools, concrete, mobile homes, and small structures for Star properties, including the permits and utility disconnects. We give a free on-site estimate with a firm price before anything comes down, and pricing is based on the volume and type of work involved.

I have used Top Shelf several times over the past few years and each time have been very impressed with the service they provide. They arrive on schedule and even send a link to show where they are located prior to your appointment. The employees are very helpful and clean up afterwards. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants hassle free junk removal. I found their prices very reasonable considering the performance they provide.

Outstanding Service by Top Shelf moving and Junk Removal! I used Top Shelf Junk Removal for my move on 08/19/25, and I couldn't be happier with the service. The movers were on time, professional, and incredibly careful with all of my belongings. They worked quickly and efficiently, yet made sure everything was handled with care. The team was friendly and respectful throughout the entire process, making a potentially stressful day go smoothly. I highly recommend Top Shelf Junk Removal to anyone in need of reliable and top-quality moving services. Great job and thank you! Dmitry and Lisa

Star Demolition FAQs

Common questions about demolition services in Star

Star's Building Department issues demolition permits and has a fee listed for them on the city's fee schedule, so it's worth checking before you start, even on something as small as a shed. Requirements tend to scale with the size and type of structure, so a quick call to the city confirms what your project actually needs.
Star's city limits reach into both Ada and Canyon counties, and rules like right-of-way permits for placing a dumpster on the street can differ depending on which side you're on. The Ada County portion falls under ACHD for that kind of permit, so if you're on the Canyon County side it's worth confirming the equivalent requirement separately.
No. The local fire district's outdoor burning rules don't allow construction or demolition debris, lumber, or treated wood, even on days when burning is otherwise permitted. That debris needs to be hauled to a landfill or disposal site, not burned on site.
Most of it goes to the Ada County Landfill, known locally as Hidden Hollow off Seamans Gulch Road, which takes construction and demolition debris, concrete, and scrap metal, with the Meridian Transfer Station as another option for some materials. Treated or painted wood isn't accepted for diversion there, and loads need to be tarped or strapped for the drive.
Both count as demolition work, not junk removal, since they involve permits, disconnecting utilities, and disposing of materials you can't just toss in a truck. Scope and cost depend on the size, what it's built from, and how accessible the site is, which is why we look at it in person before quoting a price.
