A big thank you to our amazing frontline teams! 🌞
In this hot weather, our recycling crews, parks teams, streets staff and all frontline colleagues are working hard, keeping Oxford clean, safe and welcoming🧹
Out early, lifting, sweeping, repairing and supporting our city 💛
Once again, Oxfordshire has been named England’s top performer for residential recycling, reusing and composting, for the 12th year in a row! ♻️
This reflects the everyday actions of residents across the county - recycling right, reducing waste and choosing to reuse 💚
Millions of vapes are binned weekly. When crushed, their lithium batteries can spark fires 🔥
Never bin vapes. Recycle them separately at the kerbside in a clear bag on your bin lid.
