Black bin day
Jul 31 all-day

Black bin collection day.

Your black bin is for non-recyclable items, which will be sent to landfill. There shouldn’t be much left after you have recycled your food waste and all the items that go in your green bin. Things that can go in your black bin include:

  • cling film
  • polystyrene
  • crisp packets
  • sanitary products
  • nappies
  • cat litter
  • VHS tapes/cassettes (however, up to 100 tapes at a time can be sent to EMS provided that you pay for the postage)

Please do not put the following in your black dustbin

  • bricks
  • rubble
  • soil
  • large items i.e. furniture
  • electrical items
  • garden waste
  • batteries
  • hot ash (can go in the black bin once cooled)

These can all be taken to the county council waste recycling centres.

Paint

If you can’t use up spare paint or give it away, the best way to dispose of it is to add sawdust, sand or soil to the tin and leave the lid off until the paint becomes solid and dry. You can then put it in your black bin.

All paper and cardboard, including:

    catalogues
  • phone directories (including the Yellow Pages)
  • cereal boxes
  • corrugated cardboard
  • envelopes (including envelopes with windows)
  • greeting cards
  • junk mail
  • magazines
  • newspapers
  • shredded paper (loose)

All plastic bags, bottles, pots, tubs and trays (except film):

  • detergent bottles
  • drinks bottles (and tops)
  • food and drink cartons (Tetra Paks)
  • food trays

  • metal lids (bottle and jar lids)

All these can go in your bin together and should be loose (no bagged materials). It’s best if all materials are clean – this helps to keep your bin clean and reduces contamination of the recycling . If you fill your green bin you can put extra recycling out for collection next to your bin in either clear or see through sacks, carrier bags or cardboard boxes.

Batteries

Batteries can be recycled on your recycling collection day. Just pop them in a clear plastic bag (such as a sandwich bag or food bag) on top of your green recycling bin.

We can collect household batteries, such as 6v batteries, 9v batteries (transistor batteries), D, C AA, AAA and button batteries (watch batteries) as well as mobile phone batteries, laptop batteries and lithium batteries with tape across the terminals.

We cannot collect batteries with trailing wires, car batteries, or other industrial batteries but you may be able to take these to a Household Waste Recycling Centre. For further information on battery recycling and disposal facilities, please see the Oxfordshire A-Z section on batteries.
