OxClean – Shaping a Cleaner City

Our next Spring Clean dates are here!

1, 2 & 3 and 8, 9 & 10 March 2024.

Thanks to everyone who volunteered in 2023 and who helped make it another great success. Around 100 groups participated and we collected c. 5 tonnes of litter (half was recycling and half residual waste). We would like to thank the Manager and staff of Oxford Direct Services for their unfailing support and the prompt and efficient collection of the filled sacks.
