Street Care and Cleaning

 Street Cleaning

We are responsible for the cleaning and maintaining the streets in Oxford. Please select a topic from the list at the bottom of this page to find the information you are looking for.

Environmental Photo Reporting Scheme

Our Environmental Photo Reporting scheme allows you to report graffiti or abandoned vehicles in your area by sending us your digital photos of the problems. Visit our Environmental Photo Reporting page for full details of the scheme.

Emergency Out of Hours Service

Our City Works team provides a 24 hour, 7 days a week emergency service. An officer will be on duty outside office hours. If you have a GENUINE EMERGENCY relating to street cleaning which may put the public at risk if not reported, you should contact us. Examples include:

  • Finding a discarded needle
  • Spotting something dangerous (such as a missing or broken manhole cover)
  • Homes at immediate risk of flooding
  • Emergency drain jetting work

Calls about regular activities such as problems with litter, reporting graffiti or flyposting, missed collections or ordering a bulky waste collection should be made during normal office hours: Monday to Friday 8am - 6pm (excluding bank holidays).

Residents can contact us outside office hours on 01865 249811 with an emergency street cleaning problem.
