Yard waste
Markham collects yard material every other week from April to the end of October in kraft paper bags, open containers or bundles under 1.2 m, 18 kg each at most. Grass clippings are not taken.

Markham plows every sidewalk within 24 hours once 5 cm has fallen, and its windrow assistance program clears the end of the driveway for eligible residents 60 and over. The City asks residents not to push snow back onto the road.

Requirements
What you’ll need
Customers let Doyo pros into their homes. These checks are why they do.
- 18 or older, legally able to work in Canada
- Government photo ID and a matching selfie
- A clear police record check
- A smartphone with the Doyo Pro app
- Your own tools, and transport to jobs
No provincial licence
No. Gutter cleaning, yard cleanup, mowing and snow removal need no provincial licence. Weed or insect spraying with pesticides is licensed work and is not booked as outdoor work.
Some trades also ask for proof of liability insurance; the application tells you if yours does. Doyo reviews your documents — usually within a couple of business days.
Payouts
How payouts work
For jobs the customer pays by card through Doyo, your earnings reach your Doyo balance when the job is completed, and payouts are sent weekly by e-transfer. Tips are yours in full. On quote jobs, the deposit and balance are held until the customer confirms the work, and a warranty holdback is released after the warranty period.
