Toronto long-distance moves planned around pickup access, delivery windows, packing, and storage flexibility.
Latest source review: September 29, 2026. Individual access dates appear below.
Permit
For temporary street occupation, Toronto requires dates, times and a plan of the proposed area. The permit cannot extend beyond the property’s street frontage unless the adjoining owner gives written consent and waives related claims against the City. Confirm the applicable permit with Right of Way Management for the actual equipment and address.[1]
Parking
Toronto’s temporary resident/guest permits are not general commercial-truck permits. Eligible vans or pickups must meet personal/family-use conditions, a maximum length of 5.2 m and registered gross weight of 3,000 kg.[2]
Bulky items
Toronto directs apartment and condominium residents to their building manager for furniture and appliance disposal locations. For items not accepted for reuse, its guidance allows oversized collection on garbage day where that service applies. Confirm the building’s arrangement before excluding furniture from the moving inventory.[3]
Bulky items
Toronto’s Toxic Taxi is for City residential waste customers and collects 10–50 litres or kilograms of household hazardous waste per appointment, measured by labelled container capacity. At City-serviced apartments or condos, building staff or the property manager must arrange the pickup.[4]
Driver’s licence
New Ontario residents have 60 days to exchange their licence. Eligible Canadian licences may be exchanged, with requirements depending on class, status and driving experience; learner permits and certain other licence categories are excluded.[5][6]
