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.

Welcome kits were delivered to households in Woodstock which included:

  • A 7-litre kitchen container for collecting food scraps in your home

  • A 45-litre green bin to place at the curb on your collection day

Simply use the kitchen container for day-to-day food waste, then empty it into the larger green bin for curbside collection.  Additional containers are available for purchase through Oxford County. Visit their Containers for Sale page to learn more.
