PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL
Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?
Here’s what Stockton asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Stockton rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. Stockton requires a building permit to demolish accessory structures, and demolition permits must be pulled by a C-21 licensed contractor with a City business license. No fee is published; call (209) 937-8561.
City pickup
No, not a shed teardown. Clean Sweep takes one free 3-cubic-yard pile a year, all bagged or boxed under 40 pounds, and the trash cart refuses construction materials.
City of Stockton: Clean Sweep ↗Republic Services: City of Stockton Residential Customer Service Guide (PDF) ↗

North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill (San Joaquin County). Price sheet effective Jan. 1, 2026: pickup with an 8-foot bed or trailer 8 feet or less, $32.50 at or below cab level and $44.50 above it; vehicles charged by weight $60.93 a ton (minimum $32.50); large bulky or hard-to-handle items, including pressure-treated wood, $123.97 a ton.

Do I need a permit?Stockton demolition rules, utilities and property checks.
The requirements depend on the structure, the work and the property’s jurisdiction. These are the official starting points for checking your job. Confirm with the building office before teardown day. How shed demolition permits work ↗
What a shed demolition permit takes
The Building & Life Safety Division's demolition checklist applies to accessory structures. Along with the application you need a site plan or aerial photo, an Air District clearance, a PG&E clearance, an erosion control agreement, the construction debris and recycling form, and a notarized hold-harmless agreement. An encroachment permit is needed if work or a dumpster sits in the City right-of-way. Permits are issued at 501 W Weber Ave, Building 2.
City of Stockton Building & Life Safety: Structure Demolition Requirements, BLDG-0009 (rev. Jan. 2026, PDF) ↗City of Stockton: Building Permits & Inspections ↗
Power, gas and water must be capped first
PG&E clearance must be documented before the permit is issued; call PG&E at 209-942-1495 or 877-743-7782 to request a disconnect. At the final inspection the inspector checks that plumbing, electrical and gas lines serving the structure are removed or capped at the source, the site is level and clean, and the foundation is gone.
A recycling plan and report for permitted demolition
Under Municipal Code Chapter 8.28, every demolition permit applicant files a C&D Recycling Plan at application and a C&D Recycling Report, with weight tickets or receipts, within 14 days of final cleanup. Projects covered by CALGreen must meet its diversion requirement, and the City's form asks for 65%. The City can stop work or issue penalties if the forms are missing.
Stockton Municipal Code Chapter 8.28, Construction and Demolition Debris Waste Reduction (eCode360) ↗City of Stockton: Construction & Demolition Recycling Packet (PDF) ↗City of Stockton: Construction & Demolition / Industrial Waste Hauling ↗
Asbestos release before the permit
The San Joaquin Valley Air District requires a Demolition Permit Release form for any demolition that needs a building department demolition permit, and Stockton won't issue the permit until the District signs it. The form covers a single residence and its out-structures. Old siding or roofing may contain asbestos. Stockton is served by the Northern Region office in Modesto, (209) 557-6400.

Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Stockton pick up shed debris?
Not a whole shed. Clean Sweep gives single-family homes, duplexes and triplexes one free bulky pickup between February and October, by appointment two weeks ahead with Republic Services, (209) 466-3604, or Waste Management, (209) 946-5711. The pile can be up to 3 cubic yards (3 by 9 by 3 feet), and everything must be bagged or boxed at 40 pounds or less; loose items, dirt, rock and concrete are left behind. Extra yards cost more, and piles over 10 cubic yards go to Code Enforcement. Republic's guide says the trash cart takes no construction materials, and the green cart takes no wood from construction projects. Homes in County pockets use San Joaquin County's service instead.

Only City-permitted haulers may haul demolition debris
Stockton treats construction and demolition debris as industrial waste. Under Municipal Code 8.04.240 and 8.04.290 it may only be collected and hauled with a City Industrial Waste Collector Permit, and four companies hold one: California Waste Recovery Systems, GreenWaste, Republic Services and Waste Management. Code section 8.28.050 makes one exception: a construction or landscape contractor may self-haul debris from a site where it is working, using its own personnel and equipment. A third party hauling general cleanup debris needs a City hauling permit. Nothing says whether a junk removal company that isn't the licensed contractor on the job qualifies. Ask Public Works Solid Waste & Recycling, (209) 937-8831.
City of Stockton: Construction & Demolition / Industrial Waste Hauling ↗City of Stockton: Industrial Services ↗Stockton Municipal Code Chapter 8.28, Construction and Demolition Debris Waste Reduction (eCode360) ↗
Sheds 50 years or older need historic review
Structures under 50 years old are exempt from Historic Resource Review if you document their age, for example with the original permit or the County Assessor's building record. A structure 50 years or older needs an approved Planning Application before the building permit application. Ask Planning, (209) 937-8266 or planning@stocktonca.gov.
Foothill Landfill is closed
San Joaquin County ended public self-haul at Foothill Sanitary Landfill in January 2026, and the landfill stopped taking all waste on June 28, 2026. North County, east of Lodi, is now the County's main landfill, and Lovelace Transfer Station south of the city stays open seven days a week.

Take shed chemicals to the County HHW facility
Clean Sweep won't take paint, motor oil, pesticides or pool chemicals. Clear them out before the teardown and take them to the San Joaquin County Household Hazardous Waste Facility, 7850 R.A. Bridgeford Street, open Thursday to Sunday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is free for county residents, up to 15 gallons (125 pounds) per car per day.

Photos that explain the job.
- The whole shed, with the roof, doors and rough dimensions
- What it sits on: slab, gravel, pavers, skids or blocks
- The route out: gates, steps, slopes and the narrowest gap
- Anything stored inside, and any wiring, lights or a water line
Tell us whether the shed has power. A licensed electrician should disconnect and make the circuit safe before teardown. Say which items stay, and whether the slab or footings go too.

What about treated wood and asphalt shingles?
Lovelace refuses pressure-treated and creosote-coated wood. North County takes it at the special handling rate of $123.97 a ton. The County asks for roofing to be separated into clean loads of asphalt shingles, wood and other materials so it can be recycled.

Once the panels and frame are apart, Sims Metal at 1000 South Aurora Street buys steel and other scrap from the public and takes metal from demolition projects. It is open weekdays 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday mornings.
What happens to the concrete slab?
Clean Sweep won't take concrete, and the City notes that clean concrete may be accepted by San Joaquin County Public Works Channel Maintenance. Lovelace takes small loads of concrete but not large ones. Toss Out Junk Removal includes concrete pads and gravel bases in its shed job, and Servant King offers slab removal as an option.

Can I pull the demolition permit myself?
The City's demolition checklist says demolition permits require a California licensed C-21 contractor with a current City of Stockton business license. It doesn't mention an owner-builder option for demolition, so ask Building & Life Safety, (209) 937-8561, before you plan to do it yourself. Servant King lists a C-21 license.
