During November, Oxfordshire County Councils Household Waste Recycling Centres will be closing for two days to carry out a deep clean and essential maintenance to keep the sites safe, looking clean and fresh and helping to improve the customer experience when using these much-valued facilities. This includes jet washing the sites and structures, repainting lines and safety areas as well as other general works.
Oxfordshire County Council will be shutting each of its recycling centres for two days at a time – although never at the same time. Residents are asked to plan ahead for these closures, ideally holding on to your waste until the site reopens or if that is not possible visiting one of the neighbouring sites.
The closing dates are:
Alkerton, near Banbury: Tuesday 2 and Wednesday 3 November
Ardley, near Bicester: Thursday 4 and Friday 5 November
Dix Pit, Stanton Harcourt: Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 November
Drayton, near Abingdon: Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 November
Oakley Wood, near Wallingford: Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 November
Redbridge, Oxford: Thursday 18 and Friday 19 November
Stanford, near Farringdon: Thursday 11 and Friday 12 November.
All closures are on quieter midweek days to minimise disruption and sites will reopen at 8am the following day. For practical and safety reasons we need to close the sites for this short period and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank residents for their understanding.
More information can be found online at www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/wasteclosure
including details of your nearest alternative site during the closures.
Residents with van or trailer permits can use these at any of the HWRCs.
