Where Recyclables Go

Everything we collect for recycling is sent for recycling. This means that we will only collect materials we have outlets for.

We regularly talk to our contractors, and try to negotiate the best financial and environmental deal for Oxford's residents.

Many of the materials collected during household waste collections is sent to a Materials Recycling Facility. Visit the Community Waste website to watch a video about how recyclables are sorted at Materials Recycling Facilities. The Recycle Now website also has information about how materials are recycled including how they are sorted at the MRF.
