Residents who have purchased a permit for the district councils brown bin garden waste collection service in South Oxfordshire or the Vale of White Horse can have extra garden waste collected for free, on their normal scheduled collection day only, between 31 March* and 11 April.
Permit holders can put out a maximum of up to four additional sacks of garden waste, per brown bin subscription, next to their brown bin.
To be eligible for a collection, please follow this guidance:
- Only present natural garden waste, such as cut grass, plants or branches.
- Please use standard sized (60L) black refuse-style sacks or boxes / containers totalling no more than a standard bin full.
- Bags and containers must be left open so crews can easily empty them into the rear of the vehicle.
Please DO NOT use bags larger than 60l (including one tonne builders’ type waste bags) – our crews will not collect any garden waste from these, as they are too heavy to lift.
*This service is also available to current garden waste collection subscribers who are due to receive a collection on 31 March, prior to the start of the new permits on 1 April.
