Remember, you will be able to have extra garden waste collected for free on Monday 20th April.
You can put out a maximum of up to four additional sacks per garden waste permit, next to your brown bin.
To be eligible for a collection, please just follow this guidance:
Only present garden waste, such as cut grass, plants or small branches as set out in the garden waste service terms and conditions.
Please use standard sized (60L) black refuse-style sacks or boxes / containers with a combined total no more than a standard bin when its full. Crews will only collect up to a maximum of four sacks for each garden waste permit. Additional sacks will not be emptied.
Please DO NOT use sacks 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 and empty into the vehicle.
Sacks and containers must be left open so crews can easily empty them into the rear of the vehicle and be able to check there are not contaminants.
All the garden waste collected will be taken to a facility near Wallingford where it is composted. The compost is then sold on to local farmers for use on their farmland as a soil conditioner.
