City-wide Clean-Up event
Accepted with preparationQuincy'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.
Scrap metal and metal items
Special rules applyMetal 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.
The handoff matters
Right item.
Right place.
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.
Central Services, garbage collection, yard waste, the city-wide clean-up and the approved haulersOutside the city programme, use a licensed hauler
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.

Before you book
A few things
worth knowing.
Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Quincy.
How do I request a scrap metal pickup quote?
Text photos to (844) 879-0892 with your ZIP code, approximate amount and access details. Show the whole pile and a closer view of the material. Our team will confirm the scope, quote and scheduling.
Do you buy scrap metal or pick it up for free?
This is a request for a paid removal quote, not a scrap-buying or free-collection offer. If you want to sell metal, ask a local recycler about its accepted materials and delivery requirements.
How much does scrap metal removal cost?
This service uses a custom quote. Send photos, the approximate amount, your ZIP code and access details. Our team confirms the scope and price before booking; there is no fixed-price catalog item for this pile.
Can you collect it today?
Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.
