Oxfordshire has the highest recycling rate in the country and we would like to thank all residents in the city for playing their part in this fantastic success!
Our refuse and recycling collections are recorded and analysed on a daily basis in order to measure and evaluate our performance, set targets and report to internal and external sources.
Such data is also used to verify our compliance with waste policies, in order to meet government targets and avoid penalty fines.
