Household waste recycling centres set for cleaning and repairs
Just seen this from an OCC notification:
Two-day closures will be in place at six sites during September and October
People planning to use Oxfordshire’s household waste recycling centres (HWRCs) are being warned about a series of short closures in September and October to enable essential work to be carried out.
For safety reasons, Oxfordshire County Council will be shutting the centres for two days – although never at the same time – to allow for deep cleaning and essential maintenance.
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 2 and Tuesday 3 September
Ardley, near Bicester: Thursday 5 and Friday 6 September
Drayton, near Abingdon: Monday 9 and Tuesday 10 September
Oakley Wood, near Wallingford: Thursday 12 and Friday 13 September
Dix Pit, Stanton Harcourt: Monday 23 and Tuesday 24 September
Alkerton, near Banbury: Monday 7 and Tuesday 8 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 onto their waste until the site reopens or, if that is not possible, visiting one of the neighbouring sites.
The deep clean for Redbridge HWRC in Oxford will be carried out later in the year and full details will be provided in due course.
More information can be found on Oxfordshire County Council’s website, including details of alternative sites during the closures.
Users are reminded that to use their free DIY waste allowance, they need to book an appointment for their visit on the council’s website.
Residents with van or trailer permits can use these at any of the HWRCs.
