OCC – New booking system at the Household Waste Recycling Centres
OCC's new booking system for the Household Waste Recycling Centres from 14th January
Published: 5 January 2026
From Wednesday 14 January 2026 everyone will need to book a time slot to visit one of our HWRCs. People can book 30 minutes before their visit (subject to availability) or up to two weeks in advance.
To help Oxfordshire recycle even more we are also asking people to sort their recyclable items from their waste either before they arrive which will speed up their visit, or they can use the sorting area on site.
They will need to select a site, the type of waste they are bringing and the date and time of their visit. When they visit they will be asked for their booking number and proof of address, such as a driving licence, utility bill or council tax to show they are an Oxfordshire resident and are eligible to use the HWRCs for free (excluding DIY Waste charges).
Our sites are still open to people who live outside of Oxfordshire; however, from the 14 January 2026 they will need to pay £15 per visit.
