Recycling

Some items of waste are unavoidable or unsuitable for re-use. Please make use of our weekly recycling collection.

In West Oxfordshire we are currently recycling and composting 23% of our waste, this means over 9000 tonnes of waste are diverted from landfill.

Kerbside Recycling Scheme

Two free recycling boxes are available to all householders within West Oxfordshire.
Find out more about what can and cannot be recycled and what happens to your recycling.

Recycling collections are weekly, the same day as the wheeled bin refuse collection. You can find the day of your weekly collection by searching on the My West Oxfordshire page.
There are also many recycling banks across the District where materials can be recycled.

Yellow Pages cannot be currently collected from the kerbside. Please make use of our Yellow Pages recycling scheme during August and September each year.

Tetra Paks (liquid food and drinks containers e.g. juice cartons) also cannot be collected from the kerbside. However, these can be taken to a number of recycling banks or your local Waste and Recycling Centre where there are facilities to collect these for recycling.

Composting is also a form of recycling that turns garden and food waste into something useful for your garden.

Compost your garden and kitchen waste.
