Ottawa households will be allowed to put out six garbage items on their scheduled garbage collection day between March 30 and April 24, as a new waste collection schedule means some households will go three weeks between collection days.

The City of Ottawa has sent a letter by Canada Post to residents outlining their waste collection day may be changing.

You can find out your garbage, recycling and green bin collection date on the city’s website at https://ottawa.ca/en/3-1-1/report-or-request/garbage-recycling-and-organic-waste/garbage-and-recycling-collection-calendar.

Hope weather isn't too warm when it happens.

The situation is pretty hairy depending on where you are. Not everyone is affected, so it’s best to check the city’s website to make sure you know if this impacts you.

I assume they have much smaller bins and denser neighborhoods than Canada.

Bins are the same size. If the neighborhood is less dense, great your the truck drives farther between stops. Canadians just don’t want to pay for anything and would rather rationalise living in filthy cities.
