Keen gardeners in the Vale of White Horse can take advantage of some of the district councils’ upcoming offers and discounts. Existing garden waste customers can leave double out for collection between 16 and 20 May. Any extra garden waste needs to be in an open box or bag by the brown bin, but not in trade bags as waste crews won’t empty these. If residents sign up to the garden waste service in June or July, they’ll get ten per cent off their annual fee. During this time existing customers can get the discount off their annual fee for an extra bin. Councillor Elaine Ware, cabinet member for waste at Vale of White Horse District Council, said: “This is the perfect time to sign up for our garden waste service. It’s very simple – you just put your brown bin out on the same day as your green bin, and we’ll come out and collect your garden waste. If you’re having a bit of a spring clean, make the most of all the waste services we have to offer – we collect small electrical items and textiles, too.” Visit www.morerecycling.co.uk to find out more about the councils’ waste and recycling services.
