Waste On The Go

Help keep our community clean. City of Oshawa recreation facilities, parks or downtown, now have multi-stream diversion bins to throw out litter.

Facilities and downtown litter

Correctly sorting litter when you are out in the community is just as important as at home. The diversion bins use colour coded text and images to make it easier to make the right choice. These examples enable visitors to see how to sort their litter before placing it in one of the bin's slots for paper, cans and bottles, organics or garbage.

When visiting our recreation facilities or the downtown, take a moment to ensure you are sorting litter in the correct bin slot.

If you are visiting one of our City parks or trails, be sure to throw your litter or pet waste in an appropriate bin. Learn more about parks and park amenities.
