I don’t have space to store or present a bin, what are my options?

We do offer a pre-paid sacks and stickers service if you have a bit of extra waste or do not have the space to store a bin.   These can be purchased and collected from our offices in Welch Way, Witney. We sell the sacks and stickers in bundles of 10, and this is available for both refuse and recycling.

What are your collection days?

You can view the collection days for your business's location below.

What time must business waste be presented?

Your bins must be presented kerbside by 6am on the morning of collection, unless otherwise arranged with us. All waste should be stored in the provided bins or pre-paid sacks.

 

How do I report a missed collection?

We are successful on over 99% of our collections, but sometimes, we are either unable to collect your waste due to an obstruction or very occasionally our teams make a mistake. If your business waste has not been collected you can report it as missed after 4pm on collection day and we will collect it within two working days. Please let us know as soon as you can if we have missed your scheduled collection so we can schedule the crews.
