Residents planning to use Oxfordshire’s household waste recycling centres are advised of a series of short closures to enable essential work to be carried out.
For safety reasons, Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) will be shutting each of its centres for two days – although never at the same time – to allow for deep cleaning and essential maintenance to take place. This includes jet washing the sites and structures, repainting lines and safety areas, as well as other general work to improve the customer experience.
The closing dates are:
- Stanford in the Vale, near Faringdon: Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd September
- Ardley, near Bicester: Thursday 5th and Friday 6th September
- Drayton, near Abingdon: Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th September
- Oakley Wood, near Wallingford: Thursday 12th and Friday 13th September
- Dix Pit, Stanton Harcourt: Monday 23rd and Tuesday 24th September
- Alkerton, near Banbury: Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th October.
All closures are on quieter weekdays to minimise disruption and sites will reopen at 8am the following day. Residents are asked to plan ahead, ideally holding on to their waste until the site reopens or, if that is not possible, visiting one of the neighbouring sites.
More information can be found on the OCC website.
