Gutter & yard work in Pickering, Ontario
About a third of Pickering’s homes were built before 1981, so book the furnace check before November and the window or door quotes while the weather still allows the work. Durham Region collects Pickering’s yard waste from April to early December, in paper yard bags or labelled open-top containers of 20 kg (44 lb) or less. Grass clippings and plastic bags are not taken. Pickering’s Tree Protection By-law (8073/24) needs a permit to remove a tree in a designated protection area — usually along creeks and green spaces — for $155; trees outside those areas need none. Dead or hazardous trees in a protection area still need the permit, free with a certified arborist’s report.
