Residents across the Vale of White Horse, who pay to use the garden waste brown bin service can put out twice as much garden waste for two weeks in October.
Biffa crews are all geared up to collect the extra garden waste between 17 and 21 October. The garden waste should be left in an open box beside the brown bin – trade waste bags will not be accepted.
Councillor Charlotte Dickson, cabinet member for waste at Vale of White Horse District Council, said: “The garden waste service is very popular, in 2015 you recycled 8100 tonnes of garden waste in our district. We’re encouraging all our garden waste customers to get out in the garden this weekend and make use of the larger collection.”
Councillor Matthew Barber said: “Now’s the time to get out in the garden and give it a clear out before the winter sets in, so it’s the perfect time to give garden waste customers an extra big collection.”
The extra garden waste collections take place twice a year to allow customers of the service the chance to give their gardens a big clear out in the spring and autumn.
