SEVERAL household waste recycling centres in Oxfordshire are set to close throughout November.

Oxfordshire County Council, the authority in charge of the bins, will be closing the tips down on random days next month to carry out deep cleaning and 'essential' maintenance. 

This includes jet washing the sites and structures, repainting lines and safety areas, and carrying out work to improve the customer experience.

The council will be shutting each of its centres for two days - although never at the same time.

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 will happen on quieter weekdays to minimise disruption and will reopen at 8am the following day.

Residents have been asked to plan ahead, and hold on to waste until the sites reopens, or if this is impossible to the nearest alternative site.

Residents with van or trailer permits can use these at any of the HWRCs.
