Large Item Pickup: May 11-15
FalseOxford County’s Large Item Collection program takes place in the spring of each year. This service allows residents to dispose of items that are too large to be placed into regular garbage and/or that would normally be required to dispose of at the Waste Management Facility, for instance furniture, carpet rolls (bundled), mattresses, pool covers (bundled), water softeners (minus the salt).
This is a residential program only.
