How to reduce waste

There are plenty of things that you can do to reduce the amount of waste that you put out for collection and which goes to landfill. With landfill sites filling up rapidly, it is really important that everyone plays their part in reducing the amount of waste they create. These pages give you some tips on how to reduce and reuse your waste.

See also our Garden waste pages for details about how you can compost your garden and carboard waste and our Recycling pages to find out how you can reycle more of your waste.

The Government has set targets for waste reduction and recycling which all councils have to reach – see how the Vale is meeting its targets. Find out also about our involvement on the Oxfordshire Waste Partnership.

If you want to know how you can do more to reduce, re-use and recycle please call Oxfordshire County Council on 08450 50 45 50 for a free waste reduction pack. If you would like more advice please contact our Waste Management Team - see the contact details on the right.
