The first company I became aware of in the junk disposal business and still the best. Always courteous and professional… I can’t ask for more when they’re hauling away trash or things to be donated. They run the ‘Yardsale for the Cure’ in May of every year. More info on their website. – Christie

Jake Leishman and his associates at EnviroShred have been helping us haul away paper clutter for shredding from our projects for years now. They will take paper as well as digital media (VHS tapes, floppies, dvds, etc.). Always courteous and punctual, they are a pleasure to do business with. – Christie

Raphael Whyte is my favourite local Toronto mover. Professional and friendly, he is always pleasant to do business with. – Christie

Introducing Rent-A-Box, another great idea from the people at sister-company Rent-A-Son. An environmentally-sound and cost effective way to move. No more trips to the LBCO for mismatched boxes. No more sending off piles of cardboard boxes for recycling that have only been used, usually only once. Simply order the plastic bins for your next move to have them delivered to you. Then call to have them picked up when they’ve been emptied. Rent-A-Box are easy to stack, pack and give back!

A favorite of ours, and a great business idea from Dustin Kroft, Rent-a-Son provides hourly labour help for any manual labour job. They will come to your site for a minimum of four hours to do just about anything. They do not come with tools but will use yours. Over the years, we’ve had them do yard work, move furniture before a residential renovation, help with moving boxes, strip and stain outdoor furniture, hang pictures. You’re probably getting the idea. The sons are always courteous, hard working and on time. We can’t say enough about this terrific and needed service. – Christie

Some weeks I’m in this store so much it feels like my home away from home! A must-know for any mid-town Toronto organizer: a great moving supply store with free parking. Also a  west-end location. They offer custom packing services in-store and free delivery on Wednesdays within the GTA…if you ask Lui nicely! – Philippa
