Oxford Recycles?!


After a successful pilot program, the city of Oxford has decided to move forward with a cubrside recycling program for residents living within the city limits.

(For those of you living beyond, sorry. You will still have to haul your items to the very remote recycling destination.)

Check out the order form here. I don't understand why there is an option to check the box for "I want the bins, but I would not like to pay for them." It clearly states that if you don't have bins left over from the pilot program, getting new bins will cost $12.00 per household/set and $6.00 for each additional bin. Wheel kits are $5.50. If ordering bins/wheel kits, an invoice will be included with the delivery of your order. Stickers are free! You may use them on your bins or on our bins. The cost of the bins is optional.

If you miss your pickup, recycling drop-off locations are available. Bins are available for each recyclable: Aluminum and steel cans, mixed paper, newspapers, plastic and cardboard. There are drop-off locations at the following sites:
Municipal Center (City Shop) on Molly Barr Road beside the police station
Highway 7 South next to Oxford Fire Station #3
Recycling Center at the City of Oxford Landfill on County Road 321 (Pea Ridge Road)
Curbside Recycling Program
