Blue box collection changes due to Family Day

The Regional Municipality of Durham yesterday reminded Oshawa and Whitby residents of changes to the scheduled blue box collection due to the Family Day holiday on Monday, February 20.

When: February 20 to 25, 2023.

Where: Residents of the City of Oshawa and the Town of Whitby will temporarily have their blue box collection moved to the next day.

This means that blue box collection scheduled for Monday, February 20 (Family Day) will be moved to Tuesday, February 21. This shift will continue throughout the week, ending with collection scheduled for Friday, February 24 being moved to Saturday, February 25, said a region statement.

Garbage and green bin collection for Oshawa and Whitby residents is the responsibility of the individual municipalities, not the Region of Durham. Residents are asked to check their waste calendars or contact their local municipality regarding the collection of these items.

The region reminded residents to have blue box materials at the curb by 7 am on the day of collection. Place blue boxes, green bin, and garbage on cleared parts of your driveway.
