Who can use it
The official Public Works / Recycling Center page does not print a residency or sticker rule. No household trash is accepted. Confirm access rules with Public Works at (203) 888-7716.
Hours
- Official Public Works / Recycling Center page hours: Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, 7:15 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Wednesday hours change with daylight-saving time: 10:15 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in spring and summer, starting at the beginning of daylight-saving time, and 8:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in fall and winter, starting at the end of daylight-saving time. Official typo on the fall/winter Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday line: "7:15:AM." Daylight-saving time ended on November 1, 2026, so the official fall/winter Wednesday hours of 8:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. currently apply.
- A still-posted official Oxford Recycles chart in the Document Center prints different hours and does not list Tuesday or Friday: Saturday, 7:15 a.m. to 2:45 p.m., plus additional Wednesday hours of 10:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. during daylight saving time (spring/summer) and 8:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. after daylight saving time ends (fall/winter). Both official hour sets are shown. Use the current Public Works / Recycling Center page for operating hours, and confirm at (203) 888-7716.

Per-item fees
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| Waste oil | The official Public Works / Recycling Center page prints a waste-oil collection policy of a 10-gallon maximum, with no drop-off fee listed. The still-posted official Oxford Recycles chart lists waste oil on Saturday and Wednesday, used crankcase oil only, in a clean plastic or metal jug, and says not to use empty bleach containers. Official chart not-included fluids include gasoline, automatic transmission fluid, fuel oil, hydraulic oil, parts cleaner, solvents, and anti-freeze. |
Hazardous waste
The official Hazardous Waste & Paint Collection page lists a Household Hazardous Waste & Paint Collection at the Ansonia Transfer Station, 1 N Division Street, Ansonia, CT 06401, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Official wording still prints Date: September 26, 2026, and a NEW DATE: Saturday, November 14, 2026. The official September 26, 2026, date has already passed; the official new date of Saturday, November 14, 2026, remains. Official typo: "Flier with More information." The still-posted official Oxford Recycles chart says Oxford is a member of the Council of Governments and now has a program for chemicals, and to watch for notices in VOICES for three-times-per-year collection. This Recycling Center page is not itself a full household-hazardous-waste depot.
Holiday closures

Other notes
- Facts from the official Town of Oxford Public Works / Recycling Center page, the official Hazardous Waste & Paint Collection page, the official November 9, 2026, town alert, and the still-posted official Oxford Recycles chart (Document Center View 529), fetched November 12, 2026. Town Hall is 486 Oxford Road, Oxford, CT 06478-1298, and is not the Recycling Center address. Public Works Director/Foreman is listed as Wayne Watt, (203) 888-7716.
- The official Public Works / Recycling Center page also says no household trash, lists private trash pick-up companies servicing Oxford, and links an Acceptable Items for Recycling page. The still-posted official Oxford Recycles chart describes drop-off of recyclables at 21 Great Oak Road and lists passenger-vehicle tires with rims, quantity 4; scrap metal; car, truck, boat, tractor, and motorcycle batteries, with flashlight, hearing-aid, and watch batteries not included; and bulky waste such as scrap wood, old rugs, furniture, and plastic, limited to one 3/4-ton pickup truck load per week, with all metal stripped from bulky waste and no household garbage. Confirm current accepted items with Public Works, because that chart also prints the conflicting hours noted above.
