Garden waste scheme changes – South Oxfordshire District Council
From 1 April 2025 we will be introducing a permit scheme which will change the way that you pay for your garden waste collection. This also means that your payment date will change. You’ll be able to purchase your new permit from the end of February.
Published: 6 February 2025
What residents need to do:
• From late February, visit www.southandvale.gov.uk/GardenWastePermit to make a one-off, annual payment for garden waste collections.
• When you receive the permit in the post, you must to stick it to the lid of your brown bin.
When we move to the new permit system we will no longer collect bins that do not display the year’s permit sticker.
Garden waste customers can also sign up for an online account on the SODC website to make things easier when they purchase the next permit in 2026. Anyone who cannot easily signup for a permit online can call SODC on 01235 422422 for support. Visit the New Garden Waste FAQ page for more information and PLEASE let SODC know what you think of this process so that they can make suggestions for improvements.
