Oxfordshire recycling centres to close for spring cleaning

The rolling closures are part of the council’s planned approach to maintenance, and is designed to keep sites safe, looking clean and fresh and helping improve the customer experience when using these important environmental facilities.

Steve Burdis, principal officer for the county council waste team said “The deep cleans of our sites enable us to carry out essential cleaning and maintenance including jet washing the sites and structures, repainting lines and safety areas, along with other general and grounds maintenance ahead of the busy summer months.

“All closures are on quieter midweek days to minimise disruption and sites will reopen at 8am following the two-day closure. 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.”

Only one site will be closed at any one time and all other sites will be open on those days. 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.

Site closure dates: are as follows:

Alkerton - March 3 and 4

Redbridge - March 10 and 11

Ardley - March 17 and 18

Dix Pit - March 24 and 25

Oakley Wood - March 31 and April 1

Stanford - April 21 and 22

Drayton - April 28 and 29

For those residents with permits, please note that these can be used at any of the sites.
