Oxford’s old bins become water butts.

Following the delivery of new recycling wheelie bins and blue boxes to households around Oxford, the city council has promised to collect and recycle as many unwanted old bins as possible. A home has already been found for 50 of them by the St Clement's and District Allotment Association, which will use the bins as water butts on their gardening allotments. A plastics recycling company is to take away the remaining bins.
