Bowmanville to Orono, and up onto the moraine
Snow removal in Clarington, where the elevation changes the job.
Clarington runs from the lake up onto the moraine. The trigger is the same everywhere. How often it is met is not.
Green in summer. Clear in winter.
Clarington is not one place and the snow knows it
Clarington runs from the lake at Newcastle up onto the Oak Ridges Moraine, and the difference is not small. Tyrone sits about 330 feet above Bowmanville. Enniskillen sits about 470 feet above it. That elevation is why a storm that leaves 4 cm on Liberty Street can leave noticeably more at the crossroads in Solina, and why a contractor who prices every Clarington address the same has not looked at a map.
Where we are in Clarington now
As of October 13, 2026 there are two properties in Bowmanville and one in Newcastle on the route, and Courtice is open. That is a small number and we are not going to inflate it. What it means in practice is that an east Clarington driveway is not an afterthought at the end of a Pickering route: the truck is based in Oshawa and Clarington is the near end of the run, not the far end.
What runs here, and when
- Residential clearing starts at a measured 3 cm. No call, no request, and no judgment call from a window.
- The season is November 1 to May 1. Six months, both ends published.
- Gold carries a 7 AM target after overnight snow and Platinum a 6:30 AM target. Targets, not guarantees, and the long answer is on the snow page.
- The municipal ridge across the end of the driveway comes off. In Clarington that ridge is the property owner’s job.

Bowmanville, Courtice, Newcastle and Orono, Hampton, Enniskillen, Solina and Tyrone each have a page, because each of them is a different job. A hamlet laneway is not a Bowmanville driveway with a longer drive to it.

Questions people actually ask
Do you cover all of Clarington?
Bowmanville, Courtice, Newcastle, Orono and the hamlets of Hampton, Enniskillen, Solina and Tyrone. Send the address and we will tell you plainly whether you are on the route rather than guessing.
Does a Clarington hamlet cost more than Bowmanville?
It can, and the reason is the property rather than the postcode. A laneway over 100 ft moves a property into the Estate band, and a laneway over 400 ft adds $200 for every further 100 ft, published as a formula so nobody has to drive out to price it.
What depth starts the service in Clarington?
A measured 3 cm on a residential property. The elevation changes how often that happens, not what the number is.
Is Courtice available?
Yes, and as of October 13, 2026 there is nobody on the route in Courtice yet, so you would be the first rather than the last served.

Why is your season longer than everybody else's?
Because November and April are when the awkward storms happen, and a season that ends on March 31 ends three weeks before the last one. November 1 to May 1 is six months and both ends of it are published, which is the part that matters: a season you can read is a season you can hold me to.
One of these goes on each page and it is replaced monthly. If the question you have is not here, ask it: 905-244-5779.
