Social Impact

OXWaste is powered by ODS, a company built to deliver social value, not profit. That means every bin we clean, collect or empty helps fund public services, support local jobs and protect the environment. Whether you’re a household, small business or growing enterprise, choosing OXWaste means doing good, close to home.

See for yourself

How we’ve been doing good.

Investing in Oxfordshire

With over 90% of our procurement spend kept in Oxfordshire, we’re helping local businesses grow, thrive and employ. Every booking helps strengthen the region’s economy and puts money back into the communities we serve.

Creating good jobs that give back

In 2023/24 we supported over 876 Oxfordshire jobs, 728 of them in Oxford. Our teams are local, properly paid and supported by an organisation that leads on inclusion. All of which contributes to more than a £65m GVA impact.

Working cleaner, greener and smarter

We’ve cut carbon emissions by 63% since 2014 and already run a 32% electric vehicle fleet. We’re serious about sustainability, from smarter routes to cleaner engines, and we’re working to keep pushing that further every year.

Everyone belongs here

OXWaste is powered by a team where fairness and opportunity come first. We’re proud to be a Disability Confident Leader, a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant and the Menopause Workplace Pledge, and we report a positive gender pay gap in favour of women. For us, being inclusive isn’t a policy, it’s how we work.

Whether it’s business waste, bin cleaning or van clearances, every booking helps create local jobs, support public services, and build a cleaner, fairer Oxfordshire.
