City collection Quincy's bulky route is a single annual event rather than a standing service. The 2026 city-wide clean-up runs from Wednesday, September 23 to Friday, September 25 on the northeast corner of the vacant lot at Front Street and Payson Avenue. No charge. The clean-up is a city event open to residents at no published charge, with the identification requirement and the commercial hauler bar as its conditions.

City collection A refrigerator or another appliance containing refrigerant is accepted at the city-wide clean-up only when it carries a sticker certifying that the refrigerant was properly reclaimed, a condition the city attributes to state and federal regulations. The city publishes no appliance fee for the clean-up and the refrigerant reclamation is arranged by the household with its own contractor, so confirm both the certification and any charge with Central Services on 217-228-4520 before the event.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Quincy runs its own garbage and recycling collection through Central Services and puts its large-item programme into one event a year: the city-wide clean-up, three days in September on the vacant lot at Front Street and Payson Avenue, open to residents who show identification, with commercial haulers barred. Electronics, tires, yard waste, batteries, chemicals and liquids are refused there, while appliances holding refrigerant need a sticker certifying the gas was reclaimed. Yard waste is where the city is unusually generous, with weekly curbside collection by Evans Recycling on the garbage schedule and a drop-off site that opens seven days a week in season, plus prep rules for bundles, paper bags and marked containers. Dropcurb hauls residential items from addresses across Quincy.

City cost & eligibility
No residential collection rate is published on the retained page, so confirm the current charge and the address's collection day with the Solid Waste Division on 217-228-4553.
When & how
On the household's collection day, which is skipped only on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, each with a named make-up day.
Get it ready
Everything else collects as normal: Martin Luther King's Birthday, Presidents Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, the Friday after Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve are all collected. Keep trash out of yard waste bags, because the city warns that garbage and recycling must never go into a yard waste bag. Residents outside the city programme use a licensed private hauler from the city's approved list.
Weekly yard waste collection and the disposal site
Accepted with preparation
Quincy runs two yard waste routes. Evans Recycling collects curbside every week on the same schedule as garbage and even works on holidays, and the Yard Waste Disposal Site takes material directly for most of the year.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city presents the curbside yard waste programme and the drop-off site as services for residents and publishes no fee for either, while wood chips at the site are loaded by Evans Recycling for a published per scoop charge and are free to anyone who loads them personally.
When & how
Curbside collection weekly on the garbage day, with the 2026 season opening Monday, March 16 and closing typically in mid-December, and the disposal site open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. between mid-March and mid-December.
Get it ready
Bundle branches under two inches in diameter and four feet in length, put leaves and grass in biodegradable paper bags weighing no more than 40 pounds because plastic bags are refused, or use a reusable container marked with a two inch contrasting stripe twelve inches from the top, since 55 gallon drums are barred. Property owners dropping material at the site show proof of address and arrive half an hour before closing.
Quincy's bulky route is a single annual event rather than a standing service. The 2026 city-wide clean-up runs from Wednesday, September 23 to Friday, September 25 on the northeast corner of the vacant lot at Front Street and Payson Avenue.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The clean-up is a city event open to residents at no published charge, with the identification requirement and the commercial hauler bar as its conditions.
When & how
Three days a year: Wednesday and Thursday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. only, with residents in line thirty minutes before closing or turned away.
Get it ready
Bring a valid driver's licence or photo identification because the event is open to City of Quincy residents only, leave commercial loads at home because haulers are barred, and bring help if the load needs unloading. Appliances containing refrigerant need a sticker certifying that the refrigerant was properly reclaimed before they are accepted.
A refrigerator or another appliance containing refrigerant is accepted at the city-wide clean-up only when it carries a sticker certifying that the refrigerant was properly reclaimed, a condition the city attributes to state and federal regulations.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no appliance fee for the clean-up and the refrigerant reclamation is arranged by the household with its own contractor, so confirm both the certification and any charge with Central Services on 217-228-4520 before the event.
When & how
At the three day clean-up event in September, with the certification sticker already attached.
Get it ready
Have the refrigerant reclaimed and the certifying sticker fitted before the appliance leaves the property, because the event refuses an uncertified unit. Keep the appliance out of the yard waste and recycling routes entirely.
Electronics are on the list of items the city-wide clean-up refuses, and the retained city page publishes no electronics drop-off of its own, so an electronic device is an unconfirmed item in Quincy.
City cost & eligibility
The city refuses electronics at its clean-up and publishes no electronics drop-off or fee, so confirm the route and any charge with the Solid Waste Division on 217-228-4553 before the device leaves the property.
When & how
Confirm the route before moving the device, because the clean-up will turn it away and no city collection day is published for it.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the clean-up load and out of the curbside garbage, erase personal data before handover, and call the Solid Waste Division on 217-228-4553 to ask about the current route, including whether one of the licensed haulers or a retail programme takes the item.
Tires are refused at the city-wide clean-up, and no tire drop-off or collection route is published on the retained city page, so a tire has to be confirmed before it moves.
City cost & eligibility
No tire fee or drop-off is published for Quincy, and the clean-up refuses tires outright, so confirm the route and any charge with the Solid Waste Division on 217-228-4553 or with one of the licensed haulers.
When & how
Confirm the route first, because the clean-up rejects tires and no city collection day exists for them.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the clean-up load, out of the yard waste and out of the curbside garbage, and call the Solid Waste Division on 217-228-4553 to ask which licensed hauler or retailer will take them in the city.
Metal appliances come through the clean-up when they carry the refrigerant certification, but the city publishes no separate scrap metal rule, collection day or drop-off, so loose metal is an unconfirmed item.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no scrap metal price, collection day or drop-off, so confirm the route and the charge with the Solid Waste Division on 217-228-4553 or with one of the four licensed haulers before the load is built.
When & how
Confirm the item first, then use the September clean-up for a certified appliance or one of the licensed haulers for a metal load.
Get it ready
Keep scrap out of the yard waste and the recycling route, and call the Solid Waste Division on 217-228-4553 to ask whether the metal can go to the clean-up or has to move with a licensed hauler. A refrigerant appliance still needs its certification sticker.
Yard waste goes out to the curbside route in one of three ways: branches bundled under two inches thick and four feet long, leaves and grass in biodegradable paper bags under 40 pounds, or a reusable container marked with a two inch contrasting stripe twelve inches from the top. Plastic bags and 55 gallon drums are barred, and garbage or recycling must never be mixed into a yard waste bag.
One clean-up window a year, identification required
The city-wide clean-up is the bulky route and it lasts three days in September, with residents showing a valid driver's licence or photo identification, commercial haulers barred, and a line that closes thirty minutes early. Electronics, tires, yard waste, household garbage, batteries, chemicals and liquids are refused, and a refrigerant appliance needs its reclamation sticker.
Residents who do not want the city collection use a hauler holding a city solid waste licence, and the city prints four approved vendors: GFL Environmental, Gooding Disposal, Republic Services of Quincy and Steinkamp Hauling. That list is also the practical route for the categories the clean-up refuses.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
City of Quincy Department of Central Services, Solid Waste Division
Use the annual city-wide clean-up
A Quincy household with furniture, household junk or a certified refrigerant appliance to clear in one trip.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The clean-up is a city event open to residents at no published charge, with identification required on entry and commercial haulers barred.
Arrange it
Take the load to the northeast corner of the vacant lot at Front Street and Payson Avenue during the three day event, arrive before the line closes, and bring help if the load needs unloading.
Three days a year, residents only with identification, no commercial loads, and electronics, tires, yard waste, household garbage, batteries, chemicals and liquids refused.
City of Quincy Department of Central Services, Solid Waste Division
Use the curbside yard waste route or the disposal site
A Quincy household with leaves, grass, branches and sticks to clear through the season.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The city presents both yard waste routes as services for residents with no published fee, while wood chips at the disposal site are free to self loaders and carry a per scoop charge when Evans Recycling loads them.
Arrange it
Set the material out at the curb on the collection day following the bundling, bagging or container rules, or take it to the disposal site via the Gardner Expressway and Radio Road during the published hours.
The curbside season opens in mid-March and typically closes in mid-December, the site shortens its hours in winter, and plastic bags, 55 gallon drums and mixed garbage are all refused.
A household outside the city programme or one that has a category the clean-up refuses.
Cost & conditions
The city lists the licensed vendors without publishing their rates, so confirm the service, the item and the price directly with GFL Environmental, Gooding Disposal, Republic Services of Quincy or Steinkamp Hauling.
Arrange it
Call one of the approved haulers, describe the load, and arrange the collection or container on the company's schedule.
The vendors are licensed rather than city-run, and placing a refrigerant appliance still requires the certification sticker at the clean-up route even if a hauler is used.
Self-hauling in Quincy splits three ways. Yard waste is the easiest: the disposal site off the Gardner Expressway and Radio Road takes it for most of the year, seven days a week in season with winter hours from December, and the curbside route runs weekly on the garbage schedule from mid-March. Furniture and household junk wait for the city-wide clean-up in September at Front Street and Payson Avenue, where residents show identification, commercial loads are barred and electronics, tires, yard waste, batteries, chemicals and liquids are refused. Everything the clean-up refuses, and anything a household wants gone before September, moves with one of the four licensed haulers the city lists: GFL Environmental, Gooding Disposal, Republic Services of Quincy or Steinkamp Hauling, with the Solid Waste Division on 217-228-4553 for questions about the city side.
