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:
- Oakley Wood, near Wallingford: Thursday 7th and Friday 8th May
- Alkerton, near Banbury: Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th May
- Ardley, near Bicester: Thursday 14th and Friday 15th May
- Stanford in the Vale, near Faringdon: Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th May
- Drayton, near Abingdon: Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd May
- Dix Pit, Stanton Harcourt: Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd June.
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.
