Whitby, Ontario – The Regional Municipality of Durham is advising residents of potential collection delays.
Why: COVID-19 cases are contributing to labour shortages.
Blue box recycling, green bin organics and garbage that is not completed on a regularly scheduled collection day will be collected the following day. Residents are asked to keep their materials out until they are collected.
Please be aware that due to staffing shortages collection services are extending into the evening hours.
We recognize the inconvenience and appreciate the understanding of residents as we work through these challenging times.
We encourage residents to sign up for service alerts by downloading the Durham Region Waste App through Google Play or the App Store; or by searching for their address using our online calendar tool at durham.ca/waste. Service alerts provide you with real time service updates when delays are occurring.
