Home/Service Areas/East York & Leaside
East York and Leaside are renovation country. Older semis and bungalows on tight lots, being gutted and rebuilt one at a time — and every one of them produces debris that the City will not collect.
This pocket of the city has been steadily renovating for years. Leaside, Riverdale, Playter Estates, the Danforth and the Beaches are full of houses built between the wars, and the current owners are mostly opening them up, digging out basements or adding a second storey.
That produces a very specific kind of junk: drywall, lath and plaster, old flooring, cast-iron fixtures, original kitchen cabinets and the contents of a basement nobody has emptied since the 1970s. None of it goes in a City bin.
Tight is the theme. Narrow mutual driveways, laneway garages and streets where a truck blocks traffic if it stops in the wrong place. We know the area well enough to plan around it, but tell us if you have a shared drive.
Text a photo of what needs to go, along with your East York & Leaside postal code and which floor it is on. Most jobs we can price from that alone. You get a firm number before anything is loaded, and it does not change once we start.
We do all the lifting — from the basement, the balcony, the locker or the loading dock, not from the curb — and we sweep up before we leave. Everything is sorted afterwards: usable furniture and household goods toward donation and reuse, metal, cardboard and electronics to recycling, and what is genuinely finished to a licensed transfer station.

Questions
Yes, and it is most of what we haul out of this area. Drywall, plaster, lath, flooring, tile and fixtures all go - none of it is accepted in regular City collection.
Often not, and that is fine - we plan for it. Tell us it is a shared or mutual drive when you book and we will bring the right vehicle or work from the street with a longer carry.
Yes. East York, Leaside, Riverdale, Playter Estates, Greektown, the Danforth, Woodbine and the Beaches are all covered.
