Garden waste collection
We will empty your brown bin on the same day as we collect your normal waste and recycling but every two weeks instead of once a week.
How can I find my collection day?
Our collections are divided between brown weeks and green weeks.
Check the list below to see if your collection is a brown or green week and then refer to the calendar on the right menu for collection dates.
If you live in Didcot please use the list below. If your road is not included on this list you fall into the brown week collection:
Contact Environmental Services if you need any help with confirming your collection day.

Since the start of the garden waste collection
service in June 2006 we have seen our combined composting and recycling rate increase from 31.5% to nearly 40% in September
2007. Please keep up the good work in 2008 to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill and increase the amount we recycle!
