Oshawa is the biggest city in Durham and the furthest east we run regularly. It is also the one where the answer to “what size do I need” changes most sharply depending on which part of town you are calling from.
The city is big enough that a single description of it would be useless. Access, lot size and the kind of waste all shift as you move north:
Downtown, O'Neill and McLaughlin — the oldest residential grid, laid out tight around Simcoe and Ritson. Narrow driveways and mature trees are the norm, and both affect what we can realistically put down.
The streets running toward the harbour and Lakeview. Lots are more generous here and a larger bin is rarely a problem.
Taunton, Windfields, Kedron and the university district. Newer housing, wide driveways, and work that leans toward finishing and landscaping rather than demolition.
OshawaOshawa's older neighbourhoods were built for a different era of car, which is the practical issue. A driveway on an O'Neill street may be long but it is often barely wider than one vehicle, and a bin sitting in it blocks everything behind. That pushes a lot of central Oshawa jobs toward the 10-yard even when the volume of waste would justify something bigger, and planning for two smaller drops instead of one large one is frequently the cheaper route. Plaster, lath and real wood trim also turn up far more often in the central streets than they do further north, and they are heavier for their bulk than the drywall-and-laminate mix a newer house produces. North of Taunton none of that applies: the driveways are wide, the houses are recent, and the limiting factor is simply how much material the job makes.
Given how tight some central driveways are, the street question comes up here more than in most of Durham. A bin on your own driveway needs no permit. If the road is genuinely the only option, that is decided by the municipality rather than by us — check with the City of Oshawa before the delivery is booked.
Pin the pickup down at the same time as the drop — ask about rental length when you book.
Oshawa is the far end of our regular eastern run, which in practice means it is best booked a little ahead rather than assumed. The drive itself is straightforward — it is almost entirely 401 — but a drop at the end of the route has less slack in it than one close to the yard, so an early call gives us far more to work with.
Each size has its own page with capacity, what fits and what it costs.

10 ydWe cannot take dirt, concrete or brick in any size — here is why.
Oshawa is the eastern edge of where we run regularly. If your address is further out than that, call anyway rather than assuming — we would rather tell you plainly whether we can serve it than have you guess from a list.
Not on your own driveway. A bin on the roadway is the only case that needs clearing first, and that goes through the City of Oshawa. Worth sorting before the truck is booked rather than on the morning.
Usually the 10-yard, and occasionally the 14 if the driveway runs deep. The width is what decides it, not the length of the job. Tell us whether a car can still get past a bin sitting there and we can call it over the phone.
Yes — Windfields, Kedron and the streets around the campuses are all inside the area. Access up there is the easiest in the city, so size is rarely the constraint.
