The authority said booking systems had already been successfully introduced in many other parts of the country, including Swindon<\/a>, Suffolk<\/a> and Kent<\/a> for several years.<\/p>\n

The council said it had received “strong feedback” about how it can improve the service after consulting other authorities.<\/p>\n

It said the system would also “save council taxpayers’ money by helping to prevent trade waste from being illegally disposed of at the HWRCs”.<\/p>\n

The authority said an independent study carried out in 2021 had revealed there had been no evidence that introducing of such booking systems led to an increase in fly-tipping.<\/p>\n

Lib Dem Judy Roberts, cabinet member for place, environment and climate action, said: “We know our residents are committed to reducing waste as they have helped Oxfordshire top the national recycling, reusing and composting table for 11 consecutive years.”<\/p>\n

“The booking system will also help manage demand across the HWRC network while Redbridge HWRC is temporarily closed later in 2026 for around three months, to facilitate essential safety work to be carried out,” she added.<\/p>\n

Redbridge would normally receive 40,000 customers over the period of closure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The authority said booking systems had already been successfully introduced in many other parts of the country, including…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":693454,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3843],"tags":[728,70,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-693453","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-environment","8":"tag-environment","9":"tag-science","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115888647226973880","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=693453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693453\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/693454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=693453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=693453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=693453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
