Oxford County

We all have to put out our garbage, but what goes where? The materials section will help you decide what should be disposed of in a garbage bag, what is recyclable, and what items are considered “special waste” to be disposed of separately to prevent hazardous materials from entering the landfill.

Not sure where something goes? Try the “What goes where?” widget for sorting made easy. Enter your address, then tell us what you need to recycle and we’ll tell you where it goes.

Oxford County residents can take advantage of the Large Article Collection program which is for large, bulk items only: non-bulk items will not be collected.

If you have a bulky item you are looking to get rid of, you can simply set it out to your curb on your designated large article collection week and the material will be picked up. No bag tag needed! To find out when your next collection day is use the "When's my pick-up" widget.

Please note: The City of Woodstock offers large article pick-up several times throughout the year, and the Town of Tillsonburg operates a year-round transfer station to receive large articles.

Oxford County offers year-round specialty recycling depots at the Oxford County Waste Management Facility (landfill), six days a week.
Special waste collection events are also held throughout the year to dispose of materials like household hazardous waste, tires, scrap metal, electronics, and white goods..
