Recycling at Home made Easy!
Oldham currently operates a Managed Weekly Collection Scheme for recycling and refuse.
This fortnightly system collects - Food Waste Caddies, General Rubbish Bins and Paper & Card sacks one week, and Food Waste Caddies, Garden Waste Bins and Brown Bins for Glass, Cans and Plastic Bottles the following week.
All collections take place on the same day of the week and residents are required to have their containers at their designated collection point by 7:15am on their collection day.
Oldham will be looking to introduce paper & card recycling and glass, cans and plastic bottles recycling to all flats in the District. For any further information on recycling in Oldham or to make a request please contact the recycling team.
