Brown bin subscribers can have extra garden waste collected this Autumn

18th October 2024

Residents who are subscribed to the district council brown bin garden waste service in South Oxfordshire or the Vale of White Horse can have extra garden waste collected for free, on their normal collection day only, between 28 October and 8 November.

You can put out a maximum of up to four additional sacks of garden waste, per brown bin subscription, next to your brown bin. 

To be eligible for collection – the extra waste must contain only natural garden waste, such as cut grass, plants or branches and be placed in standard sized (60L) black refuse-style sacks or in boxes / containers totalling no more than a standard bin full.

Please DO NOT use tonne builders’ waste bags – our crews will not collect any garden waste from these.

Cllr Sam James-Lawrie, Cabinet Member for Environment at South Oxfordshire District Council said: “This is a great way to help residents who have extra garden waste during the Autumn, particularly if you’re not able to compost your cuttings.  We encourage all brown bin subscribers to take advantage of this free service on their scheduled collection day.”

Cllr Mark Coleman, Cabinet Member for Environmental Services and Waste at Vale of White Horse District Council, said: “To ensure our crews can collect your extra garden waste, remember to only use standard-sized sacks or containers when putting it out on your scheduled collection day.  And please, no rubble or builders’ waste bags alongside your brown bins, as these won’t be collected.”

All the garden waste collected will be taken to a facility near Wallingford where it is composted.  The compost will then be sold on to local farmers for use on their farmland. More information about garden waste collections can be found at whitehorsedc.gov.uk/gardenwaste
