Changes this year include new routes in the Town of Tillsonburg

Oxford County’s Large Item Collection, previously known as Large Article Collection, begins in Ingersoll on April 3. This special waste collection event is offered each spring in Ingersoll, Zorra, East Zorra-Tavistock, Norwich, Blandford-Blenheim and South-West Oxford. This year, Tillsonburg residents are also eligible for Large Item Collection, with the Town being split into three zones for collection starting in June.

Large Item Collection is intended for large items only; it is not a spring cleanup. Acceptable materials include household furniture, carpet rolls and under padding (6' maximum, rolled and bundled), pool filters (no sand) & pool covers, water softeners (no salt or contents inside), along with mattresses & box springs. Unacceptable items like glass, mirrors, automotive parts, small garbage items 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 be included. The maximum weight for any item is 45 kg or 100 lbs. Residents are responsible for unacceptable items left behind.

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

• Ingersoll: Zone 1 - April 3; Zone 2 - April 10; Zone 3 - April 17
• Zorra: April 24
