Oxford County’s Large Item Collection begins in Ingersoll on April 1, 2024. This special waste collection program is offered each year in Blandford-Blenheim, East Zorra-Tavistock, Ingersoll, Norwich, South-West Oxford, Tillsonburg and Zorra.

Large Item Collection is for large items only, it is not a spring cleanup. Acceptable materials include household furniture, carpet rolls and under padding (6 inches maximum, rolled and bundled), pool filters (no sand) and pool covers, water softeners (no salt or contents inside), along with mattresses and box springs. Unacceptable items like glass, mirrors, automotive parts, small garbage that can fit into garbage bags, and items piled on trailers/wagons or loose in cardboard boxes, will not be collected. Find a complete list of acceptable and unacceptable materials at www.wasteline.ca.  

Large items must be set out by 7:00 a.m. on the Monday of your collection week, including statutory holidays. Bag tags are not required, and late setouts will not get picked up. The maximum weight for any item is 45 kg or 100 lbs. Residents are responsible for removing unacceptable items left behind from the curb.

Large Item Collection starts in April and will take place in the following communities:

• Ingersoll:
  • Zone 1 - April 1

Large item collection for Woodstock residents is provided by the City of Woodstock starting April 17. Refer to the City’s services calendar for more information: City of Woodstock City Services Calendar, April 2024-March 2025.

Think before you throw; your garbage bin or the landfill is not your only option. Many items can be donated, sold, or upcycled. For more information and updates, visit www.wasteline.ca.
