City of Toronto
Gutter & yard work in North York, Ontario
Big lots mean big leaf loads: book gutter cleaning and yard cleanup together in late October. Toronto collects yard waste from mid-March to mid-December in kraft paper yard waste bags or rigid open-top containers; bundles up to 1.2 m long and 20 kg, branches up to 7.5 cm across. Grass clippings, sod and soil are not taken. Toronto’s Private Tree By-law needs a permit to injure or remove a tree 30 cm or more in diameter, measured 1.4 m above the ground; in ravine and natural feature areas any size needs one. Changes to the tree by-laws took effect on September 1, 2026, so check the City’s page before a tree comes down.
