Collection Schedule
Check your collection schedule for possible changes to your collection days
Waste collection schedules will change for some Oshawa households beginning June 3, 2024. Households affected by the change will be notified directly via a door hanger and a letter in the mail.
If you are a community member in a new development, contact Service Oshawa to confirm that waste collection services have started on your new street.

Waste Collection Calendar and Information Guide
The City of Oshawa is taking a sustainable approach by going paperless with the annual Waste Collection Calendar. Historically, the Waste Collection Calendar and Information Guide was printed and mailed out; however, beginning this year, it will not be mailed out.
Community members are encouraged to access waste collection schedules and information digitally, download the Durham Region Waste app to their mobile devices, available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store or access their waste collection information using one of the following options.
