Changes have been announced to Oxfordshire bin collections for two weeks only.
South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse district councils have announced the change for between October 27 and November 7.
Those with a brown bin permit will have their garden waste collected an extra time for free.
People living within the two districts can leave out an additional four sacks of garden waste, per the brown bin subscription, kerbside next to the brown bin.
Both councils have insisted only natural garden waste, such as cut grass, plants or small branches, can be taken.
A spokesman for both councils added: "Please use standard sized (60L) black refuse-style sacks or boxes / containers which combined total no more than a standard bin full
"Please do not use bags larger than 60L (including one tonne builders' type waste bags) - our crews will not collect any garden waste from these, as they are too heavy to lift and empty into the vehicle
"Bags and containers must be left open so crews can easily empty them into the rear of the vehicle and be able to check there are no contaminants."
All brown bin garden waste collected will be collected by binmen and taken to a facility near Wallingford where it will be left to compost.
The compost will then be sold on to Oxfordshire farmers for use on their farmland as a soil conditioner.
