Garden Waste SchemeNew subscriptions are now being taken! As part of our commitment to increase recycling opportunities, our Garden Waste scheme has been extended until September 2010. The scheme costs £21 per bin for 7 months*. This fee includes one wheeled bin and collections from outside your home every two weeks, making it easier and less time-consuming for you to dispose of your garden waste in an environmentally-friendly manner. Collections will take place from 01 March 2010 until 24 September 2010. All garden waste is taken to a local commercial composting facility. There are a number of ways you can renew/join the Garden Waste Scheme: Online: By post or in person: Cheques should be made payable to West Oxfordshire District Council. (Please note, a 1.35% administration charge will be added for any payments made using a credit card or non UK Debit Card. The exact amount you will be charged will be shown before you confirm your payment.) *Please allow 10 working days for the delivery of your garden waste bin. Why is it beneficial to join the Garden Waste Scheme? Garden waste accounts for a large percentage of our waste bins that goes to landfill each year. In landfill sites, garden waste breaks down to form leachate, a harmful liquid that can pollute water and soil, and releases methane, a green house gas that contributes towards global warming. By joining the Garden Waste Scheme, you will ensure that your garden waste is diverted from landfill sites and turned into a beneficial product for enriching soil.
