Durham Region
Gutter & yard work in Oshawa, Ontario
With so many Oshawa homes built before 1981, fall is when to book the furnace service and have an electrician look at an older panel before the heating season. Oshawa collects yard waste every other week on garbage day from mid-April to early December, in paper bags or marked open-top containers under 20 kg (44 lb). Grass clippings and plastic bags are not accepted. Oshawa’s Tree By-law protects City trees — usually those within 2 m of the curb or 1.5 m of the sidewalk — which residents may not prune or alter. For private trees, only Durham Region’s Woodland By-law applies, to woodlands larger than 1 hectare. Doyo books yard and outdoor work across Oshawa: describe the job, see the full price before you book, and pay only when it is done.
