City of Toronto pickup vs private pickup in Scarborough

Scarborough is part of the City of Toronto, not Durham Region, so Toronto's rules apply: garbage goes out in your City Garbage Bin every other week, extra bags need a $6.81 City garbage tag, and furniture, mattresses and appliances are picked up beside your bin on garbage day. Renovation debris and household hazardous waste are never collected at the curb — you drive them to a City Drop-Off Depot, or we haul them away.

Rules checked against the City of Toronto website on October 29, 2026. Questions for the municipality: 311.

City of Toronto curbside garbage

Garbage and recycling are collected on alternating weeks; the Green Bin is collected every week. Find your day by address or in the TOwaste app.
Daytime collection: bins at the curb before 7 a.m. on collection day, and no earlier than 8 p.m. the night before.
Garbage Bin sizes and 2026 yearly rates: Small 75 L — $317.85, Medium 120 L — $385.86, Large 240 L — $524.06, Extra-Large 360 L — $607.86. Upsizing costs $29.29; downsizing is free.
Bin weight limits: Small 30 kg, Medium 50 kg, Large 100 kg, Extra-Large 150 kg.
Garbage that doesn't fit with the lid closed must be bagged, tagged and set beside the bin — $6.81 per Garbage Tag (online or at Toronto Canadian Tire stores), 20 kg (44 lb) per bag at most.

Furniture and large items

Furniture, mattresses and box springs, appliances, barbecues (no propane tank), bicycles, water heaters and toilets go out beside your Garbage Bin on garbage day — no booking and no tag.
Leave 0.5 m between items, take the doors off fridges and ovens, and tie sofa-bed frames shut.
Carpet must be rolled and tied in bundles no longer than 4 ft (1.2 m) and no heavier than 20 kg.
Mattresses or furniture with bed bugs must be wrapped completely in plastic.
Every house pays a $23.23 yearly oversized-item fee, whether it uses the service or not.

What Scarborough won't take at the curb

Construction, demolition and renovation waste — baseboards, bathtubs, cabinets, countertops, doors, drywall, fencing, insulation, lumber, plaster, roof shingles, siding and tiles.
