Responsibilities are clearly stated on your rental contract. The signature on your contract constitutes the acceptance of any and all terms and conditions listed. Please make any caterers, decorators, florists, etc. aware of the expectations stated.
This will be coordinated through the booking agent. If the Township acts as the booking agent (e.g., for Dereham Centre Hall), payment can be made at the office via cash, cheque or debit when you are picking up the key. For other facilities, payment must be made by cash, cheque or e-transfer to revenueofficer@swox.org (note reason for payment). A deposit or surety may apply depending upon the terms of the rental. If payment has not been made in full, a late payment fee for any outstanding balances may also apply.
The Township supports the goals of Future Oxford and Oxford County to be zero waste by 2025 and 100% renewable by 2050. Help us do our part by reducing as much waste as possible. Below are tips you can implement at your next event:
- Set a goal for the maximum number of garbage bags sent to the landfill.
- Consider using electronic invitations.
- Identify local vendors that rent re-useable items, or use re-useable items already present at the venue.
- Request that your caterer source local products and generate less waste (i.e., no plastic wrap).
- Use recycling bins, green cones and composters wherever possible.
- Avoid the following:
- Laminated materials and heavily dyed paper - generally not accepted by recycling centres.
- Decorating with balloons - 5+ years to decompose.
- Food wrappers - up to 75 years to decompose.
- Polypropylene items (i.e., drinking straws, water bottle lids) - up to 100 years to decompose.
- Styrofoam plates, cups and containers - up to 500 years to decompose.
