Southwood was laid out around 1960, between 14 Street and Macleod Trail, from Southland Drive down to Anderson Road. Elbow Drive runs right through the middle. The houses are mostly original bungalows and split-levels, and there are apartments and condos closer to Macleod and the two CTrain stations.
Junk pickup in Southwood covers both. One week it's a 60-year-old house finally getting its basement emptied. The next it's a tenant near Southland Station leaving a futon behind. Book online, pay, and leave it out by 8 am on a Tuesday or Friday. We text a photo when it's loaded.
Where to leave it in Southwood
Most of the houses have back lanes with a detached garage or pad. Put things in the lane beside your garage. It keeps the front yard clear and it's easier for us to load.
If you're on Elbow Drive or another busy street, don't use the front curb. The lane is safer for everyone.
For apartments and condos, use the curb or your stall in the parking lot. Hallways, storage rooms and lobbies are off limits.
