Ottawa’s new waste schedule delays garbage pickup by up to 17 days for 80,000 homes starting March 30, 2026, with temporary measures to ease the transition.
Ottawa is implementing a new waste collection schedule affecting about 80,000 households starting March 30, 2026, causing temporary delays of up to 17 days between garbage and recycling pickups for some residents.
The change, part of a new city contract, aims to improve efficiency and sustainability, with green bins continuing weekly.
To ease the transition, residents may place up to six garbage items at the curb between March 30 and April 24.
City officials acknowledge disruptions and are providing updated schedules online and via mail.
Some councillors raised concerns about pest risks, especially in student-heavy areas, while others suggested temporary drop-off bins.
The system is expected to stabilize in coming weeks.
