ASP.NET Tips #74 - Don't call GC.Collect() explicitly

The Garbage Collector is very good at working out appropriate times to run, influenced by factors like memory usage in the application and OS memory pressure. It's almost never necessary to call it explicitly.

Worse, running a Garbage Collection has an impact on application performance. The performance hit is proportional to the number of objects in memory which survive Garbage Collection, so running the Garbage Collector earlier or more frequently than necessary can seriously harm performance.
