Waste Programs in Ajax

 

Green bins are available for purchase at several Town of Ajax facilities. We only sell new bins. Exchanges for cracked and broken green bins can be done through Durham Region located at 4600 Garrard Rd in Whitby.

Residents are required to tag each bag of garbage over the four bag limit on their designated waste collection day.

New residents to Ajax are encouraged to participate in the residential curbside waste diversion programs available to them.

In order to assist you, the Region of Durham will provide you one curbside Green Bin, one kitchen container, some sample liner bags, will be delivered to the front porch of your home.

Please allow up to 15 business days for delivery.

There are currently 14 in-ground pet waste recycling containers installed in parks and trails across Ajax’s three wards.

These containers collect pet waste below the ground surface. The waste is then diverted to an Anaerobic Digestion (AD) facility to be converted into clean energy.

By disposing their pet’s waste into these containers, pet-owners actively:

  • Increase waste diversion rates
  • Keep the air smelling fresh
  • Prioritize public health and safety
  • Decrease service level needs in parks
  • Keep the community clean
  • Contribute towards a greener future
