FYI: Durham Region Recycles…

The Region of Durham’s Green Bin and blue Box waste diversion program provides new residents with a one time waste diversion kit. 

 

This kit includes one curbside green bin, one kitchen container and two blue boxes. If you are a first time homeowner in Durham, please contact the following numbers or visit www.durhamregionwaste.ca to order your free kit. 

905-579-5264 or 1-800=667-5671

If you are a resident of Durham and move to another region please take your green bins and blue boxes with you to your new home. 

Damaged green bins and blue boxes can be exchanged for new units at no cost. Please bring them into The Waste Management Centre at 4600 Garrard Rd. N. in Whitby, which is open from 8 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday. 

You are encouraged to have your waste out by the curb on your designated garbage pick up day, by 7 am.  Waste collection drivers have a route which may change, and drivers cannot go back to a street for late pick up once that street has been done.
