Think bulk

09:30AM, Monday 09 June 2025

RESIDENTS of South Oxfordshire are being urged to think twice before booking a bulky waste collection.

The district council has launched a campaign highlighting that there are free alternatives to throwing items away, such as selling, donating, repairing or rehoming.

Sam James-Lawrie, cabinet member for environment, said: “We want to empower residents to think differently about unwanted items.

“So many things that end up being collected could be reused or rehomed. It’s better for the environment and could help someone else out too.”
