Junk removal
Junk removal in Toronto by our own crew: furniture removal, mattress removal and appliance removal from houses, condos and offices. The City collects a lot at the curb, so this page covers what it takes first, then when a crew is the better call.
Before you pay anyone
If you live in a house and can carry it out, start with the curb: the City collects oversized and metal items beside your garbage bin on garbage day, with no appointment. A crew makes sense when the item cannot reach the curb or the date will not wait.
Furniture, mattresses, box springs, appliances, bed frames and bicycles, set out beside the garbage bin. Every house and multi-residential unit already pays an annual fee for it, so furniture disposal in Toronto starts here.
Renovation waste such as drywall, cabinets and tiles is not collected at the curb, and neither is hazardous waste. A building that opted out of City collection gets no oversized pickup. A business arranges its own.
A sofa on the third floor of a Parkdale walk-up, a freezer in an East York basement, a closing date that lands before the next garbage day. Our own crew lifts, loads and takes it away.
How a junk run works
Send a photo of the pile on WhatsApp with the address, the floor and the way out: stairs, an elevator, a laneway. We come back with an hourly rate and a crew size before you book. The crew lifts, loads and takes it away, and you pay for the hours it took.
In a downtown tower, book the service elevator first and give us the window. On a street of semis with no driveway, tell us where a truck can stand. Weekly garbage is the City's job: in Toronto the bins cover that. Paint, propane tanks and batteries are a separate case, and the City takes household hazardous waste free of charge at six of its seven depots.
Straight answers. For one item, read how to dispose of a mattress or furniture in Toronto; the service is on our junk removal page. For anything else, call or message during sales hours.

Put it at the curb on garbage day, if you live in a house. The City picks up furniture, mattresses and appliances set out beside the garbage bin, before 7 a.m. on daytime routes. Garbage goes every second week, so find your collection day first.
From the City, for most household items. Curb pickup is covered by an annual fee every house and multi-residential unit already pays, and electronics and hazardous waste are taken at no charge. Good furniture can go to a charity: see where to donate before a move.
At the curb as an oversized item on garbage day, or at a depot. Only two City depots take mattresses, Commissioners in the Port Lands and Dufferin in North York, for a fee and not from businesses. The City lists what its depots accept. For mattress removal from an upper floor, send us a photo.
Only if your building is on City collection. Then oversized items go to the building's designated area: ask the property manager. A building that opted out of City collection gets no City pickup of furniture or appliances, so you drive it to a depot or a crew carries it down in the booked elevator.
Commissioners, at 400 Commissioners Street in the Port Lands. You need a motor vehicle and a secured load, a deposit is taken before you unload, the fee is set by weight and you unload it yourself. Check the depot's hours and accepted items before you load the car.
The curb on garbage day, if you live in a house and can carry the item out. Next is your own vehicle and a City depot, where you pay by weight. A crew is the right call when there are stairs, a basement or a date that cannot move.
Yes. The City expects a business to arrange its own disposal of large furniture, appliances and electronics, so old desks do not go to the curb. Our crew clears the floor inside the building's booked window. Details are on the office furniture removal page.
It depends on the crew and the hours. You get an hourly rate and a crew size before you book, then pay for the hours the job took. Stairs, a long carry and a tight elevator window add time. More in our post on junk removal cost in Toronto and the GTA.
It is your choice. The hourly rate agreed before the crew came is the price of the job, for one sofa or for a full basement. For what people usually do, read how much to tip movers in Canada.
Across the city
The curb rules are the same across the city. The depots and the buildings are not: see junk removal in North York, Etobicoke and Scarborough. If you are moving as well, start with movers in Toronto and read why downsizing before a move pays.
Send it over and we come back with an hourly rate and a crew size for your specific job. No obligation, no sales pitch.
