Witney News - Sign up now for garden waste collections

Letters are being sent to all householders in West Oxfordshire encouraging them to sign up for this year’s garden waste collection service.
The new subscription year starts from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019 and costs £30 per bin a year for fortnightly wheeled-bin collection.
Householders that sign up before the 28 February can be sure of receiving their licence in good time for the start of the new subscription year and so be able to receive the maximum number of collections.
Cllr Carol Reynolds, Cabinet Member for Environment said, “Our garden waste collections service is very popular and over 27,000 householders signed up last year. We are writing to every household to remind them to re-subscribe this year. The price will remain the same at £30 and residents can be assured that all their garden waste will continue to be composted and put to good use.”
Signing up for garden waste collections is quick and easy, simply make a credit or debit card payment online or over the telephone by visiting www.westoxon.gov.uk/garden or by calling 01993 861025.
