City of Toronto
Gutter & yard work in Scarborough, Ontario
With most Scarborough homes built before 1981, October is the month to service the furnace and test the sump pump before the ground freezes. 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. Doyo books yard and outdoor work across Scarborough: describe the job, see the full price before you book, and pay only when it is done.
