Scarborough is where our run crosses out of Durham and into Toronto, over the Rouge and west along the 401. One thing is worth knowing before you start looking anything up: Scarborough has not been its own municipality since 1998.
It covers a lot of ground, and the east end is considerably closer to us than the west:
The side nearest the Rouge, and the quickest part of Scarborough for us to reach. Post-war housing on reasonable lots.
Older homes above the lake, with some of the narrowest driveways we deal with anywhere. Bin size is a genuine decision here.
The broad middle of the former borough, largely built out from the fifties through the eighties. Conventional driveways and conventional renovation work.
ScarboroughMuch of Scarborough went up in a concentrated post-war burst, which gives whole neighbourhoods the same house on repeat: a modest single-storey on a wide lot, with a basement that was finished once and a kitchen that has been redone twice. Those jobs produce a very particular load — drywall, old cabinetry, flooring, bathroom fixtures and a great deal of framing lumber from interior walls coming out. The lots being wide is the saving grace, because it usually means the driveway can take a bin without surrendering the whole frontage. The Bluffs are the exception and should be treated as their own category: older, tighter, and frequently sloped, which changes both what fits and where the truck can safely set it down.
This is the one that trips people up. Scarborough was amalgamated into Toronto in 1998, so there is no Scarborough municipal office to call and no Scarborough permit to apply for — anything to do with the roadway goes through the City. A bin on your own driveway needs no permit. For street placement, it is the City of Toronto you need, and it is worth starting that before you book the drop.
On a street where parking is already tight the end date matters as much as the start, so ask about rental length when you book.
The honest version: the distance is modest but the traffic is not. A morning run west on the 401 behaves very differently from a mid-afternoon one, and the far west of Scarborough is a noticeably longer trip than Port Union. We would rather give you a realistic slot than an optimistic one, so call with the address and we will tell you what the day actually allows.
Each size has its own page with capacity, what fits and what it costs.
20 yd14 yd
10 ydWe cannot take dirt, concrete or brick in any size — here is why.
No, and this catches people out regularly. It has been part of Toronto since the 1998 amalgamation, so there is no separate Scarborough process — street placement goes through the City of Toronto. A bin on your driveway needs nothing from anyone either way.
Scarborough is the practical western edge of where we run. Beyond it the drive starts eating the day, and we would rather say so than take a booking we cannot keep. Call with the address and you will get a straight answer.
The 10-yard, almost always. Slope matters as much as width, because the bin has to sit stable while it is loaded and the truck needs a safe angle to roll it off. Describe the driveway on the phone — that conversation takes a minute and saves a failed delivery.
We will give you the most realistic one we can, and traffic is the reason it is a window rather than a time. Booking early in the day is the single best thing you can do to get the slot you want.
