What might be the best avenue for removing a shop from a backyard.  Dirt floors, no foundation.  basically corner posts are in concrete, but it would not be a difficult demo, IMHO.

What is the best way to get a decent price on the work and haul off, and get it done in a timely fashion? Local manual labor?  It is in a very small town, but we need to have the building removed in about 2-3 weeks.

Leather gloves, sawzall, sledge hammer, mail puller and a dump trailer. 
 

Get after it, home chicken. 

Buy one of those contractor dumpster bags from home Depot for like $35, you set it up in your driveway or in front of your house, fill it up, and when you're done call the company and for $120 a dumpster comes by and hauls off the entire bag.

One of those bags won’t cut it. A 20 yard dumpster is like $350. You may need larger depending on the size. I nearly filled up a 20y one demoing a 10x6 bathroom. It was ridiculous how much raw material came out of that bathroom.

He also said it’s a small town. I’ve run in to quite a few instances where they don’t service the area for bag pickup

Are you done yet?

I never would have guessed that's the handle my wife would have picked...

I like how you call it a "shop" instead of a "she shed".

When you get done at 3pm you can sit on the porch, drink a microwaved cup on Sanka freeze-dried coffee and smoke a cigarette in your baby blue onesie and black shoes like a boss.

actually, it is( was) a functioning auto repair/ rebuilding shop my mom's late husband built.  It has work/storage area and then 1/2 of it is  covered like a carport.  Trying to get her property where it looks like a sweet little ole lady lives there, instead of Sanford & Son.

That big of a building is going to cost around $5K to demo and haul away. If you want concrete removed, that’ll be another $3-5K. Burning it down is a pretty decent option.

I'm coming around on that idea...LOL

Wrong.  The handle she picked for you is “you’re done already?”

Praise Jesus.  The payments are over…

Pics? If you have a lane to flatten it without damaging nearby structures, fence or house, get a chain and tractor. Partially cut rafters and  corner post and start dragging the thing down. You can hire a guy with a flatbed trailer,  see about a scrap yard to take the metal. Take a day. 

Bobcat with a grapple, dump trailer and some fun. Or a couple of crackheads.

You laugh, but this would be my answer if you were in my city. I hire day labor from the halfway house.  They'd break that fucker up for a few hundred bucks.
