Click on the image below to view it. You’ll probably have extra waste over Christmas and most of this can be recycled. Remember all bins must be fully closed with their lids shut. You can put out extra recycling in a cardboard box or clear sack next to your green wheelie bin. Extra food waste can be put into a thin plastic or compostable bag and left on top of your food bin. Christmas tree recycling If you’re a garden waste customer, your real Christmas tree will be collected from you during the week commencing 10 January – simply put it out next to your brown bin. If it is over 6ft, please cut it up and don’t put it inside the bin as this makes it tricky for the crews to get it out. Alternatively, you can recycle your Christmas tree at the drop-off point at the Cattlemarket car park, North Street, Thame until Saturday 8 January 2022. Trees left after this date and artificial trees will not be collected.
