That time of year is approaching when the City of Oshawa will be publishing and distributing its next Waste Collection Calendar. But a Memo went out today to Councillors that after the upcoming July 2022 -June-2023 Calendar, NEXT YEAR in June 2023 the City will be transitioning to an on-line publication:
"Starting June 2023 the City’s “Annual Waste Collection Calendar and Information Guide” is going digital! Oshawa residents are well connected and have fully embraced other digital materials such as the activeOshawa Guide and the OSCC55+ Activity Guide. Transitioning to a digital Guide will not only save on printing and mailing costs but is more sustainable and allows for targeted communications related to waste collection services. "
"Currently, the Guide is designed, printed and mailed annually through Canada Post to approximately 50,000 households providing information to residents on their curbside waste collection services. Phasing out the printing and mailing of the Guide will allow residents to transition to the various digital platforms as their primary means of accessing waste information. "
Residents can access their waste collection schedules and information digitally by:
• downloading the “Durham Region Waste” App (Waste App); or,
• online by visiting Oshawa.ca/waste
"As of July 2023, the Waste Collection Guide will be available in limited quantities for pick up at various City facilities, libraries and Oshawa Senior Community Centres for those who are unable to access online. Staff will continue to assess the transition throughout the year with the intent to go completely digital by July 2024. " https://app.oshawa.ca/waste.asp?_mid_=666&source=homepage
THEREFORE, IN LIGHT OF THE ABOVE, IF YOU KNOW ANY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS OR TENANTS WHO DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET, IT WOULD BE GOOD TO ADVISE THEM AND THE CITY NOW SO THEY CAN BE ACCOMMODATED WHEN THE CHANGE-OVER STARTS NEWS YEAR.
