Regional Waste Management Sites in Brock, Scugog and Oshawa will be CLOSED Friday, April 10 and Saturday, April 11.
The Bowmanville Household Special Waste Depot will be CLOSED Friday, April 10 and Sunday, April 12.
Regional Waste Management Facilities are OPEN Tuesday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Clarington Household Special Waste Depot, located in Bowmanville, also remains OPEN from Wednesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
To ensure we can continue operating, while ensuring the health and safety of both our employees and residents, we’ve implemented the following measures at our Waste Management Facilities (WMF):
- As of March 18, the WMFs have stopped accepting cash payments.
- Staff have discontinued issuing inbound customers with paper tickets for specialty items.
- Staff are practicing physical distancing and are advising residents to do the same.
- As always, staff continue to wear personal protective equipment (PPE).
- To limit on-site activity, the WMFs will be queueing cars and only allowing a small number of cars on-site at a time as necessary.
- The WMFs have been receiving daily cleaning and disinfecting, and disinfectant is used at high volume touch and common areas, with a special focus on the debit/credit machines.
- The WMFs have supplies to ensure cleanliness, including hand sanitizer and cleaning products.
- The WMFs are limiting the number of people on-site at one time.
- The Oshawa WMF also temporarily closed the Paint Exchange portion of the facility, as it is a high-volume area that doesn’t allow for physical distancing.
- The WMFs have stopped providing dog treats and lollipops to customers with pets and children (a practice at some WMFs).
- The WMFs are following all Health and Safety protocols and staff are provided daily Health and Safety updates, especially as it pertains to personal safety and handwashing.
- The WMFs have increased the distance of the Hazardous waste drop-off table between residents and staff.
- The WMFs have also temporarily closed the donation bin and are not accepting items for reuse at this time.

Election Sign Recycling
Durham Region's Sign Recycling program provides candidates, residents and local municipalities the opportunity to recycle dedicated loads of signs free of charge. This does not include signs found in violation of By-Law #76-2017. Signs may be dropped off at any of Durham Region's three waste management facilities.
Acceptable signs include all election signs and any other temporary signs made from corrugated plastic, plastic film or paperboard. Wooden stakes and wire mounts must be removed from the signs and are also accepted for recycling.
Please note that loads of acceptable signs delivered mixed with other waste materials are subject to the regular disposal fee.
Candidates who are considering future campaigns are encouraged to retain their signs for reuse.
