Oxfordshire Waste Partnership chairman and city councillor John Tanner has reassured homeowners and businesses that local councils know what happens to the county's recyclable waste.
Mr Tanner spoke out in the wake of the ITV Tonight programme, which claimed some councils were unaware what happened to the waste they collected.
Much of Oxfordshire's recyclables were sorted in Milton Keynes, he said.
