Recycling banks

Recycling bank locations in West Oxfordshire


Using recycling banks (some helpful tips)

  1. Try to plan your trip to the recycling centre along with other errands such as shopping trips or school runs.
  2. Junk mail and glossy magazines may be deposited in the paper banks.
  3. Telephone directories may be deposited in paper banks (including Yellow Pages).
  4. Please do not use paper banks for cardboard or tissue paper.
  5. Please rinse bottles, jars and cans before taking them to the recycling centre.
  6. Both food and drink cans may be deposited in can banks.  
  7. Please do not deposit window glass, light bulbs, Pyrex cooking dishes or drinking glasses.
  8. Always take refillable bottles (such as milk bottles) back to the supplier.
  9. Please do not leave behind cardboard boxes or plastic bags used to bring materials to the recycling centre.
  10. Please do not use the recycling centres late at night as you may disturb local residents.
  11. If the recycling banks are full, please try again another time.

Recycling banks may become full between the scheduled times to empty them.  If the recycling banks are full or over-flowing when you visit, it would be useful if you could contact us on 01993 861020 so that we can get them emptied as quickly as possible.

If you leave recycling or other waste lying around the banks this is classed as fly-tipping. Fly-tipping of commercial or household waste is contrary to Section 33: Environmental Act 1990 and offenders will be prosecuted.

Waste and recycling centres (council tips) run by Oxfordshire County Council also take materials for recycling.
