Donation bins at Durham’s Waste Management Facilities have now reopened

Whitby, Ontario – The Regional Municipality of Durham is advising residents that donation bins, operated and collected in partnership with Diabetes Canada and Salvation Army, have now reopened for donations at our Waste Management Facilities (WMF).

When: Tuesday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Wednesday to Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Where: Regional WMFs in Oshawa and Port Perry. Donation bins are located after the weigh scales.

Note: Donation bins were removed at our WMFs due to COVID-19. As restrictions slowly begin to be lifted, some organizations are reopening donation bins to the public. Only clothing, textiles and small household unbreakable items should be placed in the bins at Regional WMFs.

Due to increased levels of traffic at our WMFs, residents are reminded that our curbside collection program is available for the disposal of large items, including furniture and other bulky items. Residents of Oshawa and Whitby must contact their respective municipality for large item pick-up.
