OCC – booking system at Household Waste Recycling Centres

From Wednesday 14 January 2026 residents will need to book every time they visit, they can book online or if they’re unable to apply online, they can book by phone – 01865 519800.

Bookings can be made up to two weeks in advance or up to 30 minutes
before a visit (subject to availability).

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 to use one of our seven Household Waste Recycling Centres. Payment will be taken on arrival and there will be additional
charges for all DIY waste. We have a duty to provide HWRCs for Oxfordshire residents only, however we recognise that people living outside of the county may prefer to use Oxfordshire HWRCs. This reasonable charge will help us continue to enable wider
access to our services whilst ensuring that additional service costs are met.

We encourage customers to make a booking online via our website www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/waste.

For customers who do not have access to the internet, they can call our customer service centre on 01865 519800.
