A new recycling scheme for rubbish across west Oxfordshire has been launched by the district council.

District council leader Barry Norton, is pictured contributing to the scheme with the council's cabinet minister for the environment, George Kellow, and strategic director Cath James.

Every household in the district has been issued with a second black recycling box, which will be collected on the same day as the weekly collection from the wheelie bins.

The recycling boxes can be used for a number of items including bottles, cardboard, cans, papers, batteries, old clothes and foil.
