How days are assigned
How Ottawa assigns collection days.
Ottawa publishes a per-address collection calendar (City of Ottawa collection calendar (ReCollect area Ottawa, service 208)) through the ReCollect service. There is no single citywide weekday to quote: each address has its own dated calendar, which is why the lookup shows upcoming dates for your property.
We last measured Ottawa on September 12, 2026: 13 of 15 addresses returned an exact collection day. Across those addresses collection ran Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
