City of Toronto
Movers & junk removal in Toronto, 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. Toronto is two cities in one: almost half its homes are apartments in buildings of five or more storeys, and 29% of all homes were built in 1960 or earlier — the houses where lead pipes, old wiring and basement flooding are. Doyo books moving help across Toronto: 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.
