Recycling, rubbish and waste
People in South Oxfordshire are reducing the amount of rubbish sent to landfills by using our improved waste and recycling service. You can find out all about this new service below.
Recycling
In your green recycling bin you can put mixed paper and card, glass bottles and jars, tins and cans,
aerosols and foil, plastic bottles, food and drinks cartons, plastic bags. We collect your recycling every other week.
Please wash and squash items where possible to create more room in your recycling bin. Remove tops from plastic
bottles and place in recycling bin separately.
