Do You Tip Junk Removal Workers?

Yes — tipping junk removal crews is considered appropriate and appreciated. Junk removal is physically demanding work, often involving heavy lifting, sorting, and hauling in all weather conditions. A typical tip is $10–$20 per worker for a standard job, or $20–$40 per worker for a large or particularly difficult haul. Offering water or coffee is also a kind gesture.

Do You Tip Lawn Care Workers?

Tipping is not expected but is a nice gesture for regular crews. If you have a weekly or bi-weekly service, some Ontario homeowners give a holiday tip of $20–$50 per worker at the end of the season (November/December). For a one-time service, $10–$20 per worker is appreciated but not required. (Serving East York, Ontario.)
