Recycling calendars confusing
10:00am Wednesday 26th September 2012 in Letters
Sir – How can West Oxfordshire Council send out new calendars for waste and recycling collections with dates missing?
No December 1 and 2 and then no December 23. Do they know something we don’t?
How much is that going to cost me more in council tax to pay for the forms to be corrected? No wonder this country is in the state it is. What a joke.

In response to Mr Butler’s letter of 26th September, I can confirm that there is no error with the recently issued waste calendars.
These calendars are designed to inform customers of their collection dates and any changes due to bank holidays. There are not due to be any collections on Sundays over the period covered so the decision was taken not to print this information and it was felt more confusing to add in Saturday 1st December as it would have had to appear in November.
I would like to apologise to anyone that may find this confusing but there are no plans to reprint the calendars as this was the same format used in the previous calendar.
