If you are the property owner of a multi-residential property in Oxford County and would like to participate in the organic waste collection service, you must complete this form

Examples of multi-residential properties or facilities include apartment buildings, seniors’ residences, or other buildings that contain six (6) or more residential units.

What’s happening

An Oxford County-wide organics (green bin) curbside collection program is being implemented to meet provincial legislative requirements and to advance waste diversion in Oxford County in order to extend the life of the County’s landfill as identified in the Strategic Plan.

How does it work

Organics consist of food waste and other biodegradable waste. Food organic waste that is collected curbside will be diverted from the landfill and sent to a processing facility where it is used to produce renewable natural gas.

Oxford County’s program will be carried out in two phases.

• Phase 1 began the week of January 5, 2026, for all residences and businesses located in the City of Woodstock and the Township of South-West Oxford (SWOX). The County is now opening the organics collection program to approved multi-residential properties.
• Phase 2 will extend the green bin Program to all residents, registered multi-residential facilities, and businesses located in Blandford-Blenheim, East Zorra-Tavistock, Ingersoll, Norwich, Tillsonburg and Zorra starting May 3, 2027.

Multi-residential properties must apply to participate in the curbside program. We encourage registration as early as possible.

Joining the program

1. Property owners or designates of the property must complete this application form.
2. If accepted into the program, you will be notified by Oxford County Waste Management.

Each registered Multi-Residential facility will receive one  7L Kitchen Container for each unit at no cost.
