City of Toronto
Movers & junk removal in Scarborough, Ontario
For houses, the City of Toronto picks up oversized items — furniture, mattresses, appliances — set out beside the garbage bin on collection day. Condo buildings have their own rules, and a full basement is still a junk-removal job. Scarborough is largely 1960s and 70s housing — 37% of its homes were built between 1961 and 1980 and 59% before 1981 — with 37% single-detached houses and 35% apartments in buildings of five or more storeys. Doyo books moving help across Scarborough: describe the job, see the full price before you book, and pay only when it is done.

In a condo, a renovation generally needs the board’s approval first, and some corporations require approved contractors or limit work hours — check with management before the pro is booked.
