Collection Schedule

Garbage is collected weekly and recycling is collected bi-weekly (every second week). Where you live in Woodstock will determine what day of the week your garbage and recycling will be collected.

The map is divided into zones marked by colours and numbers, showing what days your garbage will be collected. Recycling is collected on the same day as your garbage, however is further broken down into week A or week B collection zones. This map can also be found in the City Services Calendar.

We also offer curbside large item collection once a year in the spring. Your coloured zone also determines your collection week. 

You can also download a PDF of the waste collection route map.
