OXFORD COUNTY - Help might soon be on the way for those dealing with all that gift packaging this Holiday season.
Oxford County County will be updated this week on how Ontario plans to shift the blue box program from municipalities, to those businesses producing the waste. The new program includes an expanded list of recyclable materials for County residents - and a consistent set of materials that can be collected in blue boxes, all across the province.
