Demolition Permit & Waste Disposal Information

Demolition Permit Application Please fill out the form and submit to the Planning & Building Dept prior to the Demolition.

If disposing of demolition waste at the Teton County Transfer Station, the Notification of Demolition & Renovation must also be filled out and presented to the Transfer Station.  

Please note that the management of hazardous waste is regulated by EPA and Idaho Department of Environmental Quality , and mandated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Regulations and an explanation for compliance can be found online for Waste Management and Remediation .

Teton County Solid Waste is not licensed/permitted to handle hazardous waste and therefore Teton County requires inspection reports for structural demolitions to be submitted before the demolition material is received to ensure the facility is not managing or receiving these types of waste. If asbestos is found in the building, it must be removed and disposed of by a certified/licensed asbestos removal company and they will know the landfills in the region that will receive and dispose of the waste.

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Household Materials must be removed prior to demolition of trailer houses and building structures before disposal in the county construction and demolition pit.

Tipping fees are listed on the County's website, here . Please note that the tipping fee for sorted waste is significantly less!  See links below for further information on sorted and unsorted waste.
