I opted for a larger blue waste bin, paying at the time £20. As time has gone on, I thought it was a good idea to get another.

When I called Oxford City Council, I was told that they are now £25, plus £5 for delivery (the first time delivery was free!).

I paid the £30 by card, but the next day a receipt for £35 came from the council.

immediately cancelled my order, as this was absolute robbery.

The council did put the payment straight back in my bank, but others, beware!
