RESIDENTS in the Henley area are being encouraged to change the way they dispose of litter while on the go.
Up to 70 per cent of things put into public litter bins could be recycled if taken home, says South Oxfordshire District Council, the waste authority.

The council has launched the “Take It Home” campaign to urge residents to take empty bottles and cans home for recycling.
