PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL
Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?
Here’s what Quincy asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Quincy rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. State code requires a permit to demolish any structure, and Quincy files demolitions online with a city checklist. The fee is $12 per $1,000 of estimated cost. Inspectional Services: 617-376-1450.

City pickup
No. Quincy's building department says construction debris isn't allowed in the City's trash collection, and the DPW tells residents to call a private disposal company for demolition debris.

Do I need a permit?Quincy 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 ↗
A shed teardown needs a demolition permit
The state building code makes it unlawful to remove or demolish a building or structure without a permit. The code exempts building a one-story tool or storage shed of up to 120 square feet, but that exemption is written for construction, and no source found extends it to teardown. Quincy takes applications online, and § 150-3 of the city code charges $12 per $1,000 of estimated cost for demolition; starting without a permit doubles the fee. Inspectional Services: 617-376-1450.

What Quincy's demolition checklist asks for
Quincy's demolition checklist needs sign-off from several offices. Gas and electric utilities send letters confirming service was cut at the street, and Dig Safe must be notified. The Health Department wants a pest control plan from a licensed company and bait boxes every 40 feet around the site, checked every two weeks. The Fire and Police Departments and a compliance officer also review. The checklist is written for whole-site demolitions and doesn't carve out sheds; ask which items apply.
City of Quincy Building Department: Checklist for Demolition Activities (PDF) ↗
State asbestos and waste-ban rules
MassDEP must get an asbestos notification at least ten working days before any project that removes or disposes of asbestos. Its separate construction and demolition notification doesn't apply to residential buildings with fewer than 20 units. State waste bans keep wood out of landfills and keep metal, brick and concrete out of disposal, so shed debris goes to a C&D transfer station that sorts it.

Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Quincy pick up shed debris?
No. Capitol Waste Services collects household trash, and furniture goes out without a call, but collectors don't have to lift anything over 50 pounds and aren't contracted to take clean-out debris. The building department says construction debris isn't allowed in the City's trash collection, and the DPW tells residents with construction and demolition debris to contact a private disposal company. A shed needs a removal company, a dumpster or a trip to a transfer station.

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 ↗

55 Sea St., Quincy, MA 02169

What else should I know in Quincy?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.
No franchised hauler for demolition debris; haulers get a Health Department permit
Quincy's curbside contractor, Capitol Waste Services, collects household trash only. For construction and demolition debris, the City tells residents to hire a private disposal company, and no city page or ordinance found gives one company exclusive rights to it. Companies that transport rubbish or refuse in Quincy file a yearly permit with the Health Department: $100, running January 1 to December 31, with a list of the Quincy clients they serve and where the waste goes. The application doesn't say whether a crew hauling one shed's lumber counts, and it doesn't cover you hauling your own debris.

Two historic districts, and a short list of protected buildings
Quincy has two local historic districts: Quincy Center and the Adams Birthplace district. Inside them, a building on the Historical Commission's List A can't be demolished until the commission issues a certificate of appropriateness or hardship. City code says demolishing any other building in the districts doesn't need a certificate.
The DPW Yard takes metal, not wood
Quincy residents can drop scrap metal, appliances, electronics and yard waste at the DPW Yard behind 55 Sea Street, so a cut-up metal shed can go there free. The yard doesn't take wood, construction debris, trash, tires, paint or chemicals, and commercial-plate vehicles need written approval first.
City of Quincy DPW: The DPW Yard (Residents Only) ↗City of Quincy DPW: Waste and Recycling Division ↗
Every permit names where the debris goes
Quincy's Building Department has permit applicants sign a debris removal form naming the licensed disposal facility or dumpster company that will take the debris. State law makes proper disposal a condition of any demolition permit, and the form says construction debris can't go in the City's trash collection.

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 a metal shed?
Quincy residents can bring cut-up metal panels and framing to the DPW Yard at 55 Sea Street with a Massachusetts driver's license. It's open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., plus Saturdays 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. from early April to early December. James G. Grant Co. also buys scrap metal.
City of Quincy DPW: The DPW Yard (Residents Only) ↗James G. Grant Co. ↗
Where do old paint, gas and chemicals go?
Not to the DPW Yard, which refuses oil, gasoline, paint and chemicals. Quincy holds household hazardous waste drop-offs twice a year at the DPW Yard and points residents to Clean Harbors, 1 Hill Ave., Braintree (781-380-7100) for mercury and other hazardous material.
City of Quincy DPW: The DPW Yard (Residents Only) ↗City of Quincy DPW: Waste and Recycling Division ↗
Does an old shed need an asbestos check?
Only if asbestos is coming out. Massachusetts requires notice to MassDEP and the Department of Labor Standards at least ten working days before any project that removes or disposes of asbestos. Quincy's demolition checklist also asks for a hazardous material assessment report if applicable; ask Inspectional Services whether a shed needs one.
MassDEP: Asbestos, Construction & Demolition Notifications ↗City of Quincy Building Department: Checklist for Demolition Activities (PDF) ↗
Can the slab or posts come out too?
Ask when you get a price. The Junk Removers lists old foundations and skids among what it removes with a shed, and Presidential Junk Removal also does excavation. Quincy's demolition checklist lists Dig Safe (811 or 1-888-344-7233) for anyone digging out footings.
