6. OC Transpo Accessibility Plan
The OC Transpo Accessibility Plan is a three-year plan that includes ways in which OC Transpo will work to reduce or eliminate barriers people with disabilities face within our public transit programs, services and facilities over time.
The current OC Transpo Accessibility Plan will end in May, 2026.

7. Waste Collection Day Changes
Starting Monday, March 30, your waste collection day may change due to the City’s new curbside collection contract. All your waste including garbage, organics, leaf and yard waste, and recycling will still be picked up on the same day.
To see if this impacts you, view your collection calendar online or in the Ottawa Waste Collection Calendar app. If you are affected by this change, you will see your updated collection day on the week of Monday, March 30 and beyond.
A letter will be sent to all residents who receive curbside collection to let them know about the change. The frequency of garbage, green bin, leaf and yard waste, and recycling collection is not changing.
What else is changing?
-
Leaf and yard waste will continue to be collected weekly, but it must be set out separately from your green bin in a reusable container labelled “Leaf and Yard Waste” or in brown paper bags.
-
As part of the transition to the new collection schedule, some households may experience two weeks of the same waste stream being collected. To accommodate this disruption, all residents may place up to six garbage items at the curb on your scheduled garbage collection day between March 30 and April 24.
