Garbage and recycling
To be considerate of your neighbours, please only use the garbage chute between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. All garbage must be properly drained and double-bagged to prevent any odour, mess or damage during its passage through the garbage chute located on each floor.
All garbage must be firmly pushed through the chute and not left in the access area or floor.
Small quantities of recyclables, including newspapers, magazines, plastic, or glass should be deposited into the garbage chute as indicated on the sorter. Large quantities of recyclables should not be thrown down the chute but must be securely bound and deposited in the designated recycling areas in the ground floor. Bulk items should be disposed of in the bulk items drop-off area at the loading dock, with the assistance from the Front Desk.
Please note that the garbage/recycling chute is only about two feet wide, so please do not put oversized items into it or else the system will back up. Cleaning of the chute is time consuming and can be expensive. If it is proven that garbage from your unit clogs the chute, your unit will be charged for the repair costs.
Please ensure that the door to the recycling/garbage chute is closed upon completion of garbage disposal.
Do not put large pieces of cardboard into the chute, as it can cause a blockage. Kindly take the material down to the underground floor recycling area and dispose of it in the appropriate bin. Cardboard boxes must be broken down prior to disposal.
No resident shall permit any burning material, including burning cigarettes, cigars, or other ignited material to be deposited in the garbage chute or garbage bins.
To help reduce blockages in the garbage chutes and provide a proper means for disposing of large garbage bags and bulk items, we have established a dedicated bulk disposal area.
The garbage room is located on the loading dock of 12 York Street and is accessible via the ICE 1 lobby, following the south-side pathway. The entrance is on the right-hand side, and fob access is required. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the room, please contact Security at 416-607-5484 for assistance.
You now have three options for disposing of bulk items:
1️⃣ Use the on-site bulk disposal facility for a $25 fee.
- Payment can be made securely via: ICE Condominiums (TSCC 2510)
2️⃣ Transport items directly to the City of Toronto Drop-Off Depot:
- 400 Commissioners Street, Toronto, ON (Open Monday to Friday, 6:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.)
- Full list of accepted items available at: Items Accepted at Drop-Off Depots – City of Toronto
3️⃣ Hire a private disposal service, such as:
- 1-800-GOT-JUNK
- One Time Disposal at 647-544-5619
⚠️ Important: If Option 1 is selected but not followed correctly—i.e., if the $25 fee is not paid in advance—a $150 chargeback will be applied to the unit to cover additional administrative and labor costs.
Bulk items include (but are not limited to): large furniture, appliances (e.g., washer/dryer, refrigerator, TV), mattresses, large boxes, etc.
