Junk removal
Junk removal in Scarborough by our own crew, across the 401 from the Brampton yard. Scarborough has streets of post-war bungalows, clusters of towers and one City depot, on Transfer Place, that takes some things and not others. Here is what the City does first, and where a crew comes in.
Start with the City
The City does, from houses: it collects oversized and metal items set out beside the garbage bin on garbage day, paid for by an annual fee on every house and unit. It does not come inside, down the stairs or up a tower. That part is a crew's job.
Furniture, mattresses, appliances and bed frames, on garbage day, every second week. Old carpet has to be rolled and tied in bundles no longer than four feet and no heavier than 20 kg. A mattress with bed bugs is wrapped completely in plastic.
Scarborough's City depot is at 1 Transfer Place in Agincourt, off Nugget Avenue just west of Markham Road. It lists garbage, yard waste, renovation waste without drywall, electronics and hazardous waste. It does not list mattresses or metal.
A bungalow basement in Wexford with one narrow side door. A townhouse in Malvern being emptied before the keys go back. A tower near Scarborough Town Centre with one elevator window. The crew lifts, loads and takes it away.
How it works in Scarborough
A photo on WhatsApp is enough for a first answer on most loads. Add the address and the stairs, and we send back an hourly rate and a crew size before you book. The truck comes across the 401 from the Brampton yard, and the crew on it is our own.
The run can stand alone or happen on moving day, when it is plain what is not coming to the new place. Before the crew arrives, pull out what can be sold or given away: our post on why downsizing before a move pays explains how to sort it.
Straight answers. The service is on the junk removal page, and single items are covered in mattress and furniture disposal in Toronto and the GTA. For anything else, call or message during sales hours.

From houses, yes, in the sense that there is nothing to pay on the day: an annual fee charged to every house and multi-residential unit covers it. Set the sofa or the dresser beside the garbage bin on garbage day. Garbage goes every second week, so look up your collection day first.
Garbage, yard waste, renovation waste without drywall, electronics and household hazardous waste, at 1 Transfer Place. It lists no mattresses and no metal. At the time of writing it opens on Saturday mornings as well as weekdays, but check the City's depot page before you load: hours change, and hazardous waste has its own.
To the curb on garbage day, if you live in a house. The only City depots that accept mattresses are Dufferin in North York and Commissioners in the Port Lands, each more than 20 km from Scarborough Town Centre, and both charge a fee. From an apartment or a basement unit, send us a photo.
Not to Transfer Place: it lists neither. The nearest City depot that takes both is Bermondsey, at 188 Bermondsey Road in Victoria Village, west of Victoria Park Avenue. Renovation waste never goes to the curb, and no depot takes bricks, concrete or soil. If the basement was just gutted, tell us what is in the pile and we tell you before the day.
Yes. Wexford, Bendale and Dorset Park are lined with post-war bungalows, many with a side door and a tight basement stair. Send photos of the stairs and the door with the pile. The crew carries it up, loads it and takes it away, on its own visit or on the day you move.
Start with the superintendent. In a building on City collection, furniture and appliances go to its designated area for oversized items. In a building that has opted out of City collection, the City takes nothing oversized. If you are leaving at the end of a lease, a crew can clear the unit in the elevator window the building allows.
Yes. Old desks, chairs and filing cabinets are a usual load, and the City leaves a business to arrange its own disposal of large furniture and electronics. We work to the building's window. See office furniture removal.
It depends on the crew and the hours: the rate is hourly, agreed with the crew size before you book, and you pay for the hours the job took. A ground-floor garage is quicker than a basement with a turn in the stairs. Our post on junk removal cost in Toronto and the GTA walks through what changes the bill.
