Oxfordshire proudly holds the highest recycling rate in the country, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to all city residents for contributing to this remarkable achievement.
We meticulously record and analyse rubbish and recycling collections daily. This practice helps us assess our performance, set goals, and provide reports to both internal and external entities.
This data also ensures our adherence to waste policies, helping us meet government targets and avoid penalties.
