Waste Collections

The Vale of White Horse District Council today announced that waste and recycling collections in District will return to normal non-holiday collection days from Monday (11 January), subject to the weather not getting worse. Residents are therefore asked to put waste and recycling out for collection on the days they would normally have scheduled collections on in non-holiday periods. The decision to return to standard collection dates was taken after prolonged adverse weather caused a significant backlog, meaning that it was no longer possible to run waste and recycling collections to the planned holiday schedule.
It is hoped that collections run as smoothly as possible next week, however in view of the weather forecast for next week problems may still occur with collections in particular areas where access is difficult because of road surface conditions, either because of the risk of damage to property by sliding vehicles or where the health and safety of residents and collection staff may be compromised.
Vale waste contractors Veolia will be sending large waste collection vehicles to clear main roads backed up by smaller street cleaning trucks which should be able to address the less accessible areas.
