South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse residents can put out four extra sacks of garden waste between November 2 and 13.
South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse councils are offering free extra garden waste collections for permit holders between November 2 and 13. Residents can put out up to four additional sacks of garden waste on their normal collection day.
The extra waste must be presented in standard-sized (60L) black refuse sacks placed next to the brown bin, with the combined sacks totalling no more than a standard bin full. Only natural garden waste is eligible, including grass cuttings, plants and small branches. Bags larger than 60L will not be collected as they are too heavy to lift. Sacks should be left untied to allow collection crews to check for contaminants and empty them easily.
All garden waste collected will be processed at a facility near Wallingford. The resulting compost is sold to local farmers for use as a soil conditioner. Sue Cooper, cabinet member for environment at South Oxfordshire District Council, said the scheme helps residents recycle autumn garden waste responsibly. Robert Clegg, cabinet member for environmental services at Vale of White Horse, said the service helps residents clear their gardens before winter.
