Household Waste Recycling Centres – New Booking System

Oxfordshire County Council are introducing a new booking system to help reduce queues, ease traffic on nearby roads, and make your visit to the Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) quicker and easier.

From the 14 January 2026 you will need to book a time slot to visit an HWRC.

To book, you would need to select your site, the type of waste you are bringing, and the date and timeslot. Bookings can be made up to two weeks in advance or up to 30 minutes before you visit (subject to availability).

Once you have booked your visit:

• You will receive a confirmation email with all the details you need. Ensuring everything is clear so you have no surprises on the day.

On the day:

• You will need your booking number and proof of address to show you are an Oxfordshire resident and are eligible to access the HWRC’s for free. This can be a driving licence, council tax or utility bill.
• Please sort the recyclable items in your waste before you arrive on site. This will help speed up your visit and help Oxfordshire to recycle even more.
• If you are unable to sort everything before you set off, don’t worry, there will be sorting areas available on site to make this easier.
• The onsite team will greet you when you arrive, direct you to a bay and will answer any question to help you recycle as much as possible.
