Oshawa’s waste calendar is now paperless

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.

Visiting Oshawa.ca/WasteLookup to:

• find, look up and print your waste schedule
• set up weekly service reminders and notifications (phone call or email)
• add the schedule to your preferred Google, iCal, or Outlook Calendar
• use the Know Before You Throw sorting tool
• book a large item collection
• submit a waste pick up concern

Connecting with Service Oshawa through email at [email protected], by phone at
905-436-3311, or by using the Live Chat option on the City’s website to:

• receive assistance to find your waste schedule
• get help setting up phone or email notifications
• purchase bag tags for additional garbage bags
• book a large item collection
• register for waste assistance programs

A limited number of printed Guides will be available at Service Oshawa, recreation facilities and the Oshawa Public Libraries. For more information on waste collection, visit Oshawa.ca/waste or download the Durham Region Waste app.
