Printed waste collection calendars will no longer be distributed to reduce waste

Waste collection calendars are going digital! As part of The Region of Durham’s Long-term Waste Management Plan to mitigate environmental impacts, paper waste collection calendars will no longer be distributed to households.  Eliminating the paper calendars will save on printing and distribution costs while also reducing waste.

Residents of the Town of Ajax, Municipality of Clarington, City of Pickering, and Townships of Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge are encouraged to download the Durham Region Waste App or access the online collection calendar at durham.ca/waste. The app, available on Google Play or in the App Store, is free to download and provides residents with customized collection schedules, reminders about collection days, a Know Before You Throw search tool, service alerts and more.

Waste management information is also available through Smart Home Devices by asking your Google Home or Amazon Alexa for myDurham 311 Smart Home Device Service and inquiring about your waste collection schedule.
