Your recycling and waste collections

Update waste collections week commencing 4 February 2019

The snow last Friday (1 February) caused unsafe driving conditions for our waste trucks so we decided to cancel our waste collections  on that day. We will begin catching up on Monday 4 February. Unfortunately this will have a knock-on effect on collections for the rest of the week. 

Severe weather can affect you in several ways, such as flooding, snow or a loss of utilities. Please see below some information provided by The Vale of White Horse District Council regarding this: Flooding
