To manage your garden waste in Oxford, you can use your brown bin or compostable eco sacks if you are subscribed to the Garden Waste Collection Scheme. The waste is collected every other week. Here's a quick summary of what you can and cannot place in the brown bin or eco sacks:
| Acceptable Garden Waste | Not Accepted |
|---|---|
| Garden prunings | Tree logs |
| Small shrubs | Soil |
| Weeds and plants | Turf |
| Cut flowers | Large branches (> 5 cm/2 inches) |
| Leaves | |
| Grass cuttings | |
| Hedge trimmings | |
| Small branches (≤ 5 cm/2 inches) | |
| Wood ash (must be completely cool) |
If you're not subscribed, consider taking your garden waste to a Household Waste Recycling Centre, or you might check if a neighbor with a brown bin is willing to share their space. For tips on composting at home, you can visit Replenish Oxfordshire.
