This was the sight in Kennett Road which faced the intrepid OxClean helpers from New Headington Residents’ Association on Saturday morning! Mary, Cicely, Stella, Kate, Helena, Stephanie and I clearly had a great deal of work to do!  Much of the rubbish was recyclable and we managed to find out that there had been a communications breakdown between one of the local shops and its refuse collection company, and hopefully we have been able to help sort this out

Friends of Bury Knowle Park turned up for their litter pick but in fact found very little to collect in the Park - the Park Rangers are clearly keeping the Park very clean and tidy. Thanks to Rosemary and Jill and Frank for helping out.

In the afternoon helpers from the Central and North Headington Resident’ Association in Sandfield Road did a sterling job to finish clearing Cuckoo Lane and help clear some of the rubbish from the JR site - we were pleasantly surprised that the Headington Hill end of the lane had already been cleared by helpers from Brookes. Many thanks to all, including Karen the organiser, Topsy, Michael, Hans, and Steve Goddard and the other delightful lady pictured here!

 

Here is the latest bulletin from the City Council. If you have any remaining rubbish collection issues, please let David and me know

 

Thursday 21^st January Today we have operated a normal collection service for Refuse, Recycling and Co-mingled for Blue week customers. 

Food Waste and Trade Waste collections have run to a normal schedule.  In addition, we have collected Co-mingled from Red week (Tuesday) customers in

North Oxford,

Jericho and

Norham

Gardens. Our crews have supported each other throughout the day with the refuse crews, when they had finished their schedule of work and had tipped their loads, returning to assist their colleagues who were collecting Co-mingled waste in the Rosehill area. Some crews finished their work today at 17.45. We are now operating a normal residual waste collection service across the city. 

Friday 22^nd January 

We will run a normal collection service for Refuse, Recycling and Co-mingled for both Red and Blue customers (Friday). There will be no green waste collection. Food Waste and Trade Waste collections will run as normal. 

We will also return to those areas that have missed their previous Co-mingled waste collections because of the bad weather. Our focus will be on Marston (Wednesday collection). Deliveries of bins/boxes/lilac and garden waste sacks will resume.
