The Region of Durham is changing the curbside waste collection schedule for residents in Ajax, Ontario, due to the upcoming Good Friday holiday. Residents who normally have their trash and recycling picked up on Friday will see their service moved to Saturday, April 4, 2026, instead.

This scheduling change also affects households in Brock, Clarington, Pickering, Scugog, and Uxbridge. The one-day delay is a routine procedure used by the municipality to ensure that all residents receive their regular waste services during the Easter holiday break.

To stay updated on pickup times, the region recommends that residents download the Durham Region Waste App. You can also visit the online collection calendar to verify your specific pickup requirements and view other service updates.

Following this adjusted schedule ensures that waste collection remains consistent across the community. Residents should have their items at the curb on the designated Saturday to avoid missing their collection day.
