PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL
Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?
Here’s what Tracy asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Tracy rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Likely not for a small shed. Tracy requires a demolition permit for anything that needed a permit to build, and sheds up to 120 sq ft didn't. Larger sheds: $191 permit.

City pickup
No. Tracy Disposal's free Annual Residential Clean-Up won't take construction debris, dirt, rock or concrete. A rented Tracy Disposal bin is the curbside option.

Do I need a permit?Tracy 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 ↗
When a shed needs a demolition permit
Building Safety's homeowner guide says a permit is required to demolish any item that required a permit to build. The same guide lists one-story detached tool and storage sheds up to 120 square feet, with a roof deck no higher than 11 feet 7 inches, as exempt from a building permit. A larger shed takes a residential demolition permit, $191 under the FY26-27 fee schedule, with a 5-working-day review. Homeowners can pull permits as owner-builders. Building Safety: (209) 831-6400.

Asbestos clearance before a demolition permit
Tracy requires proof of compliance with, or exemption from, the asbestos demolition rules before it issues a demolition permit. The San Joaquin Valley Air District's Demolition Permit Release form covers a single home and its out-structures. Old siding or roofing may contain asbestos. Air District Northern Region: (209) 557-6400.

Utilities have to be removed safely
Building Safety's guide says demolished items are inspected to make sure everything was safely removed along with any utilities that served it. If power or water runs to the shed, plan to have it disconnected and ask Building Safety which permit covers that.
City of Tracy Building Safety: Homeowner's Guide to Building Permits (rev. May 9, 2024, PDF) ↗
Construction waste plans name Tracy Disposal or a self-hauler
Building Safety's Construction Waste Management form, used for CALGreen projects, sets a 65% minimum diversion rate and lets the hauler be Tracy Disposal or a self-hauler that is not an independent third party. The form doesn't say whether a shed demolition permit needs it; ask Building Safety.

Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Tracy pick up shed debris?
Not a shed teardown. Each home inside city limits gets one free Annual Residential Clean-Up a year from Tracy Disposal: up to ten 32-gallon bags and two large furniture or appliance items, booked at (209) 835-0601. The prohibited list includes construction debris, and dirt, rock, concrete, asphalt and tile. Extra pickups cost a fee. For a whole shed, Tracy Disposal rents bins from 1.5 yards up, and lists its 10-yard roll-off for garage or shed decluttering; prices aren't posted.

Drop-off and recycling options
If you’d rather haul it yourself, sort the load first: clean wood, metal, roofing, concrete and household contents often go to different places or cost different amounts. Call ahead before hiring a trailer. What can be recycled ↗

What else should I know in Tracy?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
Only the franchised hauler may haul demolition debris
Tracy Municipal Code 5.20.060 reserves to the City the exclusive right to collect and haul construction and demolition debris, and 5.20.070 gives that right to the City's franchise contractor, Tracy Disposal (Tracy Delta Solid Waste Management). Section 5.20.080 lets you haul debris from your own home, and lets a contractor self-haul debris from its own work with its own crew and trucks. That exception does not cover businesses whose primary business is waste disposal, transportation or collection, and it bars independent haulers. A junk removal company likely falls outside it; a licensed demolition contractor may not. Ask the City (main line (209) 831-6000) before booking.
Tracy Municipal Code Chapter 5.20, Integrated Solid Waste Reduction (Municode) ↗City of Tracy: Recycling & Solid Waste ↗
Tracy's debris goes to the Tracy MRF
The same code section directs anyone hauling construction and demolition debris generated in Tracy to deliver it to the Tracy MRF, at 30703 S. MacArthur Drive south of Linne Road. Use the first gate for the scales. It is open weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and takes cash, business checks and cards, but not personal checks.
Tracy Municipal Code Chapter 5.20, Integrated Solid Waste Reduction (Municode) ↗Tracy Material Recovery: Frequently Asked Questions ↗Tracy Material Recovery: Terms and Conditions ↗
Clear out paint and chemicals first
Tracy and San Joaquin County hold a free Household Hazardous Waste event in Tracy each spring (May 30, 2026 at City Hall). The rest of the year, the County HHW facility at 7850 R.A. Bridgeford Street in Stockton takes paint, pesticides and other shed chemicals free for county residents, Thursday to Sunday. Carry no more than 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip.
Selling scrap metal is allowed
The franchise doesn't cover scrap metal you separate and sell yourself. Code section 5.20.080 lets anyone sell or donate segregated recyclables, including scrap metal, to a buyer of their choice, so a metal shed's panels can go to a scrap yard.

- 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.
