A breakaway gutter (30) comprising a flexible trough (32) having a rearward edge (34) permanently connected to a building (36) proximate an overhanging edge (38) of a roof (40) of the building (36). Structures (42) are connected to the building (36), for retaining in a detachable manner a forward edge (44) of the flexible trough (32), so that the flexible trough (32) will be in a position to receive water from the roof (40) when it rains. The forward edge (44) of the flexible trough (32) can disengage from the retaining structures (42) by pressure exerted by the weight of snow on the roof (40) in winter, to prevent damage to the flexible trough (32).
