Household Waste and Recycling Centres (Rubbish Tips)

Oxfordshire County Council manages a number of waste and recycling centres (usually located at landfill sites) for the recycling and disposal of refuse by householders. Household refuse may be disposed of free of charge; although a charging policy is in place for large-scale D.I.Y items. Up to three items of D.I.Y waste may be disposed of for free. A charge of £1 per item will be levied for subsequent items. Tyres can be taken at a cost of £2.50 each.

A charge is made for the disposal of commercial waste.

In addition to the Orinoco Scrapstore in Oxford, you may now get paint/take paint from: the OCVA furniture store in Northway, Oxford; Berinsfiled Employment Action Group, Berinsfield and Oxford Wood Recycling, Milton Park, Abingdon / Didcot.
