Waste
Changes are coming to curbside collection starting in January 2026! Learn more.
Oxford County is responsible for the waste management program in Woodstock. The following services are available for property owners in Woodstock.
Curbside Garbage Collection
The City of Woodstock offers curbside garbage collection to homes throughout the city on a rotating six-day collection schedule. The city is divided into different zones that determine your collection day.
Curbside Recycling Collection
Beginning in January 2026 blue box recycling collection will move to a new province-wide recycling program operated by Circular Materials. With this change, recycling is moving from every other week to every collection day using the new six-day cycle.
Because the province-wide changes are for residential recycling only, Oxford County will be providing recycling collection for business, commercial and institutions. Businesses must register to continue recycling collection.
Curbside Organics
Starting Jan. 5, 2026, Woodstock residents will now receive organic waste collection with their garbage collection. The green bin program collects food scraps and other biodegradable materials, reducing the amount of garbage sent to the landfill and supporting environmental sustainability in our communities.
EnviroDepot
For your convenience, the City of Woodstock also operates the EnviroDepot, located at 944 James St. Woodstock residents can use the EnviroDepot to drop off large items, household hazardous waste and construction materials.
Yard Waste Depot
To help residents with outdoor yard clean up, the City also operates a Yard Waste Depot at 944 James St. Yard waste, brush and woodchips are collected into three piles within the depot which are then used for compost or turned into woodchips.
