The Brush, Leaf and Yard Waste Depot at 80 Pemberton Street will temporarily close from July 30 to September 20 or earlier while construction work on Pemberton Street is ongoing.

During this period, you can take yard waste to the Waste Management Facility at 384060 Salford Road in Salford. The facility is open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Oxford County was unable to secure and operate an alternate location for the depot in Ingersoll but understands the Town of Ingersoll is working to complete construction as quickly as possible. The depot will re-open at that time: please watch for updates on social media and at www.wasteline.ca.  

Agricultural Plastics Diversion Pilot Program

Oxford County is reminding local farmers about the agricultural plastics pilot program at the Oxford County Waste Management Facility.  

For $50/tonne, farmers can recycle plastics like silage bags, bunker covers, bale wraps, fertilizer bags, and salt bags (black, blue, and white). Materials must be reasonably clean and contamination-free, sorted by type, and packed in designated collection bags. Farmers can request collection bags free of charge at 1-800-755-0394 or wastemanagment@oxfordcounty.ca. 

Local farmers generate approximately 300 tonnes of bale and silage wrap annually. In 2023, five tonnes of agricultural plastics were collected and diverted from the landfill thanks to the program.
