Spring clean-up starts with us

With spring in full bloom, the City of Oshawa is encouraging residents to take an active role in keeping our neighbourhoods clean, safe, and welcoming. A tidy community is a shared responsibility, and everyone’s efforts make a meaningful difference.

Yard Waste Collection Returns

As you begin to tidy up your property, remember to dispose of yard waste in paper bags or clearly labelled rigid, reusable open-top containers. For more information, visit oshawa.ca/YardWaste.

Yard waste is collected seasonally, every other week on the same day as your garbage day. Collection schedules can be found at: oshawa.ca/WasteLookUp or by downloading the Durham Region Waste app

Large Item Collection

Moving or cleaning out your home? The City offers large item collection at no fee for community members living in single‑family dwellings, semi‑detached homes, duplexes, or buildings with eight or fewer units that receive municipal waste collection services. Proper disposal helps keep neighbourhoods clean and prevents fines.

Large item collection must be booked online or through Service Oshawa at least two days prior to your regular waste collection day.
