Why not burn the debris if there are no hazardous materials
EPA permission is required but legal in Meredith

I thought of what would happen if trying to do this in California...Can't.

In New Hampshire, can you still install a wood burning fireplace indoors?

Can't imagine not. Woodstoves, fireplaces, pellet stoves are all popular. Ironically, builders and architects, who should know better, put a two story chimney outside the house where it gets cold. It can take hours to heat the chimney before there is any heat value to the fireplace. In the meantime, your furnace runs to offset the heat lost up the chimney. I'd also guess that most masons have never heard of Count Rumford who laid out designs for efficient fireplaces in the 18th century, so they build a fireplace and the homeowner goes to the store and buys a fireplace insert.

You'd be surprised what you could do with a post on craigslist. My brother in-law in CT was about to take a whole weekend to bust up a shed he was replacing and planned to make multiple trips with a small trailer to the dump. I suggested he try a craigslist post(free section) and that weekend someone pulled up in a flatbed and hauled it way. He didn't lift a finger. If your shed is somewhat salvageable someone might us it for a bob house, chicken coop, etc. You never know. If not, you might find someone for short money to cut it up and dispose it. Good luck.

I hope so, I have a whole retail area that supplies just that.

A dumpster is probably the way to go. Even if you cut it up and haul it to the dump you will have to go on the scale and pay by the pound.

Keep a tarp on the dumpster. If it rains, you will pay for the weight of accumulated water.

I'm glad OP got this handled. Doing demo can be fun, but challenging.

When I moved in 20 years ago, I 'inherited' a tottering 8X8 tool shed. I added a bit of reinforcement and used it until last year when I tore it down and had Reed's Ferry build me a small barn.

I guess I did a better job than I thought because I borrowed a bucket loader to knock down the old shed. All I accomplished was to push it around. I had to take a sawzall and cut in from the corners to weaken it enough to give in to some more hits.

My Dad bought a "Sears & Roebuck" 8X12 metal storage shed back in the mid 1980s to store tools and provide cover for other items. It served us faithfully for just over 30 years. Its demise was not caused by the roof giving out, it was the very bottom of the structure that eventually rusted out. It ended up being my woodshed that would hold 5 cords of wood. Even with that, when it came time to remove the shed, I had to go out and buy a "saws-all" to cut it down and haul it off to the dump (or landfill or transfer station or whatever they call it these days).

I think we got our money's worth out of it.

I'm in the process of building a new 10X14 shed. I have an older poorly home built 10X12 shed which I was going to tear down, but I decided instead to spruce it up and make it into a woodshed.
