Did you know that from January 1st you can recycle glass on your doorstep! ♻️

Exciting news for Cherwell residents! From Thursday 1, January 2026 you will be able to recycle glass from the comfort of your own homes.

We're rolling out kerbside glass collections as part of our commitment to a greener, cleaner future. This new service means it’ll be easier than ever to recycle your glass bottles and jars in your blue bin, meaning no more trips to the bottle bank.

This change is part of the national Simpler Recycling initiative, helping ensure consistent recycling across the country. It’s a big step forward for sustainability in our district, and we’re proud to be making it happen.

Stay tuned for more details on how the service will work and what you’ll need to do. Let’s raise a glass to better recycling!

With the arrival of a wintry chill, we'd like to remind residents and visitors that our network of Warm Welcome spaces across the district are now open.

Our friendly venues in Banbury, Bicester, Kidlington and the surrounding villages have the Warm Welcome sign in their window, meaning you can drop in to get out of the cold.

To make it easier to find a warm space near you, there's an interactive map that you can browse. Find the link in the comments!
