Large Item Collection begins March 31
Oxford County’s annual Large Item Collection begins in Ingersoll on Monday, March 31, 2025. This special waste collection event also runs in Blandford-Blenheim, East Zorra-Tavistock, Norwich, South-West Oxford, Tillsonburg, and Zorra on designated weeks from April to early July. The City of Woodstock coordinates collection for Woodstock residents.
Large Item Collection is for oversized household items only.
It is not intended for general spring cleanup.
Acceptable materials include household furniture, carpet rolls and under padding (6 inches maximum, rolled and bundled), pool filters (no sand), pool covers, water softeners (no salt or contents inside), 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. A complete list of acceptable and unacceptable materials is available 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. Late set outs may not be collected. Bag tags are not required for large items; however, each item must not exceed 45 kg (100 lbs). Residents are responsible for removing any unacceptable items left at the curb.

Think before you throw. The landfill isn’t your only option. Many items can be donated to local charities, sold through online marketplaces, or upcycled into something new. Before discarding, consider how your unwanted items could benefit others or be repurposed. For disposal guidelines, donation opportunities, and collection updates, visit www.wasteline.ca.
