Town centre recycling bins

New on-street recycling bins are being installed in town centres in the Vale to help people recycle on the go.

The new bins, which will enable people to recycle cans, paper and card, plastic and glass items, have been installed in Faringdon, and will be introduced in Abingdon and Wantage later this summer.

The bins each have three compartments – two for recycling and one for litter – and aim to make it as easy as possible for people to recycle while out and about.

They have been funded by the council and Oxfordshire Waste Partnership.

The council's waste contractors Biffa will be responsible for emptying the bins as part of their street cleaning programme.
