Junk removal
Junk removal in North York by our own crew, from the towers along Yonge to the bungalows of Willowdale and Downsview. The City lists four of its seven drop-off depots under North York, so here is what they and the curb will take, and when a crew is worth calling.
City first, crew second
To the curb, if you live in a house: the City collects oversized and metal items on garbage day. Past that, North York has four City depots, and they do not all take the same things. A crew is for what you cannot carry, cannot drive or cannot wait on.
Sofas, mattresses, appliances and bed frames go beside the garbage bin on garbage day, 0.5 metres apart. In a snow storm the City asks you to hold oversized items until the next collection, and never to set them on a snowbank.
Bermondsey and Ingram take metal, drywall, electronics and hazardous waste. Dufferin, on Vanley Crescent, takes mattresses and metal but no electronics or hazardous waste. Victoria Park takes electronics and hazardous waste, takes no mattresses and does not list metal.
The twentieth floor at Yonge and Sheppard, where there is no curb. A side-split basement in Bathurst Manor, two flights down. A house in Don Mills being emptied before it is listed. The crew lifts, loads and takes it away.
How it works here
Message a photo on WhatsApp and tell us the building or the street. We answer with an hourly rate and a crew size before you book. The truck comes from the Brampton yard across the 401, the crew carries everything out, and the bill is the hours the job took.
A junk run in a North York tower follows the same rule as a move: book the service elevator with your property manager and we work inside that window. Our condo elevator guide has the questions to ask. If the junk is part of a move, one crew does both on the same day.
Straight answers. The junk removal page covers the service, and junk removal cost in Toronto and the GTA covers the bill. For anything else, call or message during sales hours.

It depends on your side of North York. The City lists four depots here: Ingram Drive near Keele and Lawrence, Dufferin on Vanley Crescent between Sheppard and Finch, Bermondsey Road in Victoria Village and Victoria Park Avenue in the northeast. City trucks get priority from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 to 5 p.m., so check each depot's hours first.
At the Dufferin depot, 35 Vanley Crescent. It is one of only two City depots that accept mattresses, with Commissioners in the Port Lands. There is a fee and commercial loads are not accepted. A mattress with bed bugs must be wrapped completely in plastic. From a house, the curb on garbage day is simpler.
Not in the garbage. A house sets electronics out on garbage day, 0.5 metres from the bin, batteries removed. Paint, propane tanks and batteries are hazardous waste: Bermondsey, Ingram and Victoria Park take them free of charge, Dufferin does not, and the City's Toxic Taxi collects 10 to 50 litres from its residential customers by appointment.
If the building is on City collection, yes: take it to the building's designated area for oversized items, which the property manager can point you to. If the building has opted out of City collection, the City picks up no furniture or appliances from it. A crew can bring it down in the service elevator inside the booked window.
Yes, for a fee, and never to the curb. All four North York depots take renovation waste such as cabinets, doors and tiles, but drywall goes only to Bermondsey and Ingram. None takes bricks, concrete, soil or asbestos. If any of that is in your pile, tell us what it is and we tell you before the day.
Yes. Willowdale, Downsview and Bathurst Manor are bungalow and side-split country, and that means basement stairs: a chest freezer, a sectional, a treadmill. The crew carries them up and out, loads the truck and takes it all away. Send photos of the stairs with the pile.
Yes. Office furniture is a usual load: desks, chairs and filing cabinets cleared at the end of a lease, inside the building's window, at North York Centre or on Consumers Road. The City leaves a business to arrange its own disposal of large furniture. See office furniture removal.
By the hour, like every other job: an hourly rate and a crew size agreed before we come, and you pay for the hours it took.
