Every great renovation or new build starts with a clean slate. At Pickering Disposal, we don't just provide the bins to haul waste away — we also provide the muscle, machinery, and expertise to tear it down safely. With over 30 years of experience serving Toronto and the GTA, we offer professional residential and light commercial demolition services.
Whether you need a backyard structure cleared out, an old deck removed, or an entire interior gutted for a modern remodel, our team ensures the job is done safely, legally, and efficiently.
Our Demolition Capabilities
We specialize in selective structural and non-structural demolition. No matter the scale of your cleanout project, we have the specialized tools and heavy equipment to manage it.
Interior Gutting & Strip-Outs
Prepping a kitchen, basement, or bathroom for a total remodel? We meticulously strip out drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and non-load-bearing walls while leaving your home's structural framing completely intact.
Garage & Shed Removals
Is an old, decaying detached garage or backyard shed taking up valuable property space? We tear them down safely, break down the foundations, and clear the area.
Deck, Fence, & Patio Demolition
Weathered wood and cracked concrete can become safety hazards. We break up and dismantle old decks, fences, concrete patios, and walkways.
Light Commercial Demolition
We assist local businesses, retail spaces, and office managers with interior office strip-outs, tenant improvements, and retail de-branding.
The Pickering Disposal Advantage: Demolition + Disposal
Choosing a demolition contractor who also owns a massive waste disposal fleet is a major win for your budget and timeline.
Instant Waste Removal
On standard demolition sites, debris can pile up for days waiting for a bin provider to arrive. Because we are the bin provider, our roll-off dumpsters are parked on-site from day one. As we tear down, we load up. Your property stays clean and safe.
Eco-Friendly Sorting
We care about the local environment. We don't just throw everything into a landfill. We carefully separate recyclable materials — like clean wood, concrete, metal, and brick — and haul them directly to certified Toronto recycling facilities.
Licensed & Fully Insured
Safety is our absolute priority. Our demolition team is fully trained, WSIB-compliant, and comprehensively insured to protect you, your property, and neighboring structures.
Our Step-by-Step Demolition Process
We take the stress out of demolition by keeping the process straightforward and transparent.
Site Assessment & Quote
We review your project requirements, assess potential hazards, and provide a clear, upfront estimate with no hidden fees.
Permits & Utility Disconnects
We help guide you through ensuring that all necessary city permits are in order and that water, gas, and electricity lines are safely disconnected before work begins.
Safe Execution
Our experienced crew executes the demolition using proper safety gear and structural precautions to avoid disturbing surrounding property.
Complete Site Cleanup
We sweep, rake, and haul away every last piece of debris, leaving behind a perfectly clear space ready for your next project phase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a demolition permit for my project?
For small projects like removing a shed, a deck, or interior kitchen gutting, a demolition permit is generally not required. However, larger structural demolitions — such as tearing down a detached garage — usually require a permit from the City of Toronto. We can help you identify what is required for your specific project.
How do you control dust and mess during demolition?
Demolition can be messy, but we work hard to contain it. We utilize dust-suppression techniques (such as misting), section off interior spaces using heavy-duty plastic barriers, and load debris directly into our bins to minimize airborne particles and tracking.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, absolutely. Pickering Disposal carries comprehensive liability insurance and our workers are fully covered by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). We never cut corners when it comes to the safety of our team and your property.
