Residents who have purchased a permit for the district council’s brown bin garden waste collection service in South Oxfordshire can have extra garden waste collected for free on their normal scheduled collection day 4th 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.
- 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): the crews will not collect any garden waste from these, as they are too heavy to lift.
There is more information about garden waste collection on the SODC website.
