You can now recycle electrical and battery powered items at the kerbside. All electrical items can be recycled: whether they plug in, charge up, or are battery powered.

If items are small enough to fit into a carrier bag they can be placed on the lid of your green or blue wheeled bin for collection on your normal collection day.

Once the items are collected they get broken up and the different types of plastics and metals are recycled.

Larger items that won’t fit in a carrier bag, such as vacuum cleaners, televisions, fridges and washing machines can be collected on the bulky waste service or taken to one of Oxfordshire County Council’s household waste recycling centres.
